NORRISTOWN >> Winter is now in full swing, but on Saturday morning, a group from Feed the Burbs, working with Zachary’s BBQ on Markley Street, looked toward the spring growing season with the first in a series of backyard-to-table workshops.

Feed the Burbs first got involved at Zachary’s when member Dave Swedkowski, a longtime patron of the restaurant, told chef Keith M. Taylor about his group and its philosophy. Taylor, who believes in a farm-to-table approach to cooking and is constantly looking for new ways to minimize Zachary’s carbon footprint, invited the group to work with him.
