guide is the first step in reaching our goal of creating
a comprehensive resource enabling our region’s

FARMS
Our region is blessed with a rich agricultural
heritage. The farms listed in this guide are keeping
those traditions alive, as well as creating new ones,
by growing fresh, healthy food in our communities.
From grass-fed beef and farm-fresh milk, hybrid
tomatoes to heirloom beans, conventionally grown to
certified organic, you’ll find a wide variety of products
coming from East Tennessee farms. Some farms
are just starting out, while some families have been
farming in our region for a century. Some cultivate
hundreds of acres; some tend a small garden.
Whether old or new, big or small, conventional
or organic, these farms offer you unparalleled
freshness and variety. Support them and support a
strong future for agriculture in East Tennessee.

7. U-PICKS
U-pick farms invite you into their fields to harvest
your own fruits and vegetables. That’s right, they
let you do the picking—you or u, however you
like to spell it! In East Tennessee, you’ll find an
opportunity to pick in every season: berries in the
spring and summer, apples and peaches in the
summer and fall, pumpkins in time for Halloween,
and more.
But, visiting a u-pick is about more than filling
up a basket with the fruits of your labor. You can
re-connect with the source of your food—you can
see your produce growing, meet your farmers,
and travel the same road your food travels to the
farmers market or grocery.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to call the farm
ahead of time to make sure they’ve got plenty of
the produce you’re after.

A PLACE OF THE HEART FARM
heartplace@peoplepc.com
423-784-3401
We offer a variety of produce in our CSA
share with weekly deliveries to the Market
Square Farmers’ Market in Knoxville.
CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” As a CSA farm share
member, you pay the farmer in advance for “shares” of the season’s
bounty, literally giving the farmer “seed” money at the beginning of the
season. Then, you get to enjoy a steady supply of foods straight from
the farm every week-from fruits and vegetables to meats and prepared
food items. CSA subscribers say that being a farm share member is a
little like celebrating a holiday every week. Typically, there is a box to
open, and there are always many farm-fresh surprises. The farms make
deliveries to designated locations, such as a farmers market, a school or
neighborhood center, or a CSA member’s home. The typical CSA season
corresponds with the outdoor growing season: May to October, but some
also offer winter CSAs or meat and dairy CSAs year-round. Contact the
listed farms to find a CSA program that is right for you.

FARMERS MARKETS
Farmers markets are the perfect community
experience: a chance to talk with farmers, meet
neighbors, and try new foods, all while feeling
confident you are investing your dollars directly in
your community. Visit weekly to shop with the seasons
for freshly picked fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy,
artisan foods, local crafts, and more.
Several of our area farmers markets now accept
credit, debit, or SNAP (food stamp) cards, making
shopping just as convenient as at the grocery store.
Look for the symbols next to each listing to find a
nearby market that accepts these payments.

To the chefs and owners of the restaurants and food trucks listed here,
“farm to table” truly means from the farm straight to their dishes. Some
proprietors even raise the meat and produce they use in their recipes. They
want to bring you the freshest, best-tasting food available. Next time you’re
dining out, don’t just ask for the specials. Ask: “What’s local today?”
Notice a restaurant listed without an address? That’s because they’re a
food truck, or a restaurant on wheels! Call, visit their website, and follow
their social media channels for current location information.
