TABLE OF CONTENTS 3
ABOUT THE GUIDE The East Tennessee Local Food Guide is a project of Nourish Knoxville. The guide’s purpose is to provide our community with a comprehensive resource for finding locally grown food. Our region is teeming with many opportunities to connect with the land, your food, and the people who grow it, but we understand it can be difficult to know where to begin. We hope this guide helps you find new sources for locally grown food, visit the places where your food is grown, and discover more ways to incorporate locally grown food into your daily life. This guide will expand each year as we identify additional farmers, producers, grocers, and restaurants seeking to connect with local consumers in our region. By choosing food from these local farms and producers you’ll be preserving jobs, farmland, landscapes, and heritage in East Tennessee.

U-PICKS U-pick farms invite you into their fi elds 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 fi nd an opportunity to pick all season: berries in the spring and summer, apples and peaches in the summer and fall, pumpkins in time for Halloween, and more. Visiting a u-pick is about more than fi lling up a basket with the fruits of your labor. You can reconnect 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.

CSA PROGRAMS 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, 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. Usually, 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 fi nd a CSA program that is right for you.

A PLACE OF THE HEART FARM facebook.com/APlaceOfTheHeart heartplace@peoplepc.com 423-784-3401 Pioneer
We at A Place of the Heart believe that a CSA is a collaboration between the farmer and the consumer; thus, you will be able to select the items that make up your basket. Each week after harvest, we will send you an email with a list of available produce items. When you come to market to pick up your share, just bring us a list of what you wish to have, and we will fill your order. Some items will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, but the seasonally abundant vegetables will be available to everyone. Our customers have been very happy with this system as it makes receiving a CSA share more like grocery shopping, except with all local produce. We offer both full and half shares. A full share feeds a family of four, or two vegetarians, easily fills up a halfbushel basket, and contains 10-14 different items. A half share feeds two people, or one vegetarian, and contains 5-7 items. The season runs from May 16 to October 22.

You’ll receive a mixed bouquet of seasonal flowers (some edible!) *This share can be combined with either the Basic or Half Share* –Serenity Select Share: this share gets you “in” with the CSA, but gives you more decision-making power in what veggies you take home each week, as you get to choose from the selection in our booth at the farmers’ market. *This Share option is only available on for Saturday pick up.

RESTAURANTS & FOOD TRUCKS Local ingredients are finding their way onto the menus of restaurants and food trucks in our region. Whether incorporating them into an existing menu and specials or creating menus based on what is seasonally available, the establishments listed in this section use local farm-grown or raised ingredients. When you visit, be sure to ask “What’s local today?” You’ll also notice the snail icon on some listings. We have partnered with Slow Food Tennessee Valley to designate establishments in their Snail of Approval program. The snail icon designates local restaurants and food businesses that exemplify the principles of Slow Food and contribute to the quality, authenticity, and sustainability of food in our community. All show commitment to the three basic Slow Food principles: good, clean, and fair. Recipients must use local, seasonal foods and must be good stewards in the environment which we live. Notice a restaurant listed without an address? That’s because they’re mobile, serving meals from a truck, trailer, or cart. Visit their websites or social media outlets to find their next location!

WINERIES & DISTILLERIES One way you can enjoy local flavors is by popping a cork or twisting a bottle cap. An increasing number of wineries and distilleries are cropping up in our area, demonstrating delicious ways to preserve fruits and grains. Some wineries are growing the fruit themselves, and many others are using Tennessee grown fruit. Some distilleries are using locally grown grains, as well as local herbs or other products to create distinct flavors. Want to see how these libations are made? Many of these makers are just a short drive away and open for tours and tastings. Per Tennessee law, a Farm Winery can offer tastings and sales of wine that is produced using 95% or more of their own fruit. Farm Wineries, however, do not bottle their own wine; they contract with a commercial winery in Tennessee to make and bottle the wine. Some states, such as New York, refer to farm wineries as “Estate Wineries.� These wineries are designated with a wine glass symbol and may only be open seasonally, so be sure to call before heading out.
