ABOUT THE GUIDE The East Tennessee Local Food Guide is a project of Nourish Knoxville. The purpose of the guide is to provide consumers in our community with a comprehensive resource for finding locally-grown food. Our region is teeming with opportunities to connect with the land, your food, and the people who grow it, but it can be difficult to know where to begin. We hope this guide helps you to find new sources for locally-grown food and to visit the places where your food is grown. By choosing food from local farms and producers you’ll be preserving jobs, farmland, landscapes, and heritage in East Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE FOOD SHED A foodshed is the area in which food is both produced and eaten. The term describes a region where food fl ows from the area that it is produced to the place where it is consumed, including the land it grows on, the route it travels, the markets it passes through, and the tables it ends up on. The Knoxville Foodshed, for the purposes of this guide, is defi ned by a radius around the city center where farmers fi nd Knoxville to be the nearest large metropolitan area to sell their products. The Foodshed encompasses 28 counties within Central 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 find a CSA program that is right for you.

A PLACE OF THE HEART FARM
HERB AND PLOW FARM
GARDEN DELIVERY CSA
We believe that a CSA is a collaboration between the farmer and the consumer; thus, you can select the items for your basket. It makes receiving a CSA share more like grocery shopping, except with all local produce. Each week, after harvest, we send you an email with a list of available produce items. When you pick up your share, bring the list of what you wish to have, and we will fill your order. Some items are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, but seasonally abundant vegetables will be available to everyone.
We raise more than 50 varieties of Certified Naturally Grown fruits and vegetables. We offer flexible payment plans that make it easy for everyone to enjoy a CSA. We network with an Amish and Mennonite farmer who farms with the same high standards that we do. They provide about 25% of the produce, allowing us to provide the common garden goods and some unusual foods which make our shares full and diversified for 24 weeks.
Garden Delivery CSA is not your traditional CSA model. Order what you want, when you want. No shares to buy. No food wasted. All our farms use sustainable practices without a middle man. If you want to know exactly where your food is coming from, this is the program for you. The food you order from our CSA comes directly from our farmers to your table with nothing in between. Convenient online ordering through our website.
