ABOUT THE GUIDE The East Tennessee Local Food Guide is a project of Nourish Knoxville, Inc., with funding and support provided by PlanET: A Regional Partnership of East Tennessee Counties. The guide’s purpose is to provide you with a comprehensive resource for finding fresh, locally grown food in our community. Our region teems with so many opportunities to connect with the land and your food, 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 consumers in our region. By choosing food from these local farms and producers, you’ll be preserving jobs, farmland, landscapes, and heritage. So get out there and ask, “What’s local today?”
ABOUT NOURISH KNOXVILLE Nourish Knoxville, Inc. is a Knoxville-based not-forprofit corporation working in the East Tennessee region to cultivate and support relationships between farmers, artisanal producers, and the community through outreach, education, and advocacy and to build healthy communities through connections to local food. Projects include the Market Square Farmers’ Market, Market Square Holiday Market, and Winter Market at Southern Station. For information, please visit NourishKnoxville.org.
INTRO/MISSION/ABOUT US 5
FARMS
Our region is blessed with a rich agricultural heritage. The farms listed in this guide are keeping traditions alive, as well as creating new ones, by growing fresh, healthy food in our communities. From grassfed beef to 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.

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. Visiting a u-pick is about more than filling 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. 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. 16

RESTAURANTS & FOOD TRUCKS Local ingredients are finding their way onto the menus of restaurants and food trucks in our region. Some are finding ways of incorporating them into their specials or existing menus, and some are “farm-to-table”, meaning they base their menu off of seasonal availability, perhaps even raising the meat and produce they use. 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, or follow their social media channels for current location information.
