We're thrilled to share some exciting news from last week: we are now River Friendly Farm Certified! A team from the Cumberland River Compact visited us from Nashville, TN, to conduct an audit of our farm. They assessed each growing area, reviewed our farming practices, and ensured that we are utilizing cover crops, organic methods, and organic fertilizers and compost. They also confirmed that we are taking necessary precautions to protect our waterways. We’re fortunate to have a spring-fed pond adjacent to our fields, which flows into an overflow creek that leads to Watts Bar. By keeping our fields clean and being mindful of our water sources, we contribute to the health of not only our farm but also the health of the environment beyond our farm. 

​

This certification has been such an accomplishment for our farm. It has shown us that we are making the correct decisions on how we farm. We are very conscious of our growing methods and practices. We want to bring you produce that is safe, synthetic free and tastes fresh. Freshness means better nutrition which only makes us all healthier in the long run.

​

Be sure to head over to the About us page to see more about our certification. Our farm values have also been updated to help explain the practices on the farm better. We believe transparency is key to connecting with our customers. We want you to be informed of our values, be up to date with our methods and if you have questions about the farm, please contact us.
