We’re excited to bring the CSA Fair series back to the Model City in 2019! This is a wonderful way to connect with local farmers and become engaged in your food system. This gives you the chance to explore healthy food options while supporting our regional agriculture economy. Your family gets to eat the freshest produce and goods our region offers while supporting a farming family. This year, the Kingsport Fair will include 5 farmers and producers.

Our small farm can’t change the world, but our farm can make a difference. We grow food without pesticides, utilizing NO TILL regenerative farming techniques that I have mastered for the past 19 years.
We are also a teaching farm offering work share apprenticeships and classes. We encourage farm visits for those wanting to join our CSA. CSAs are not for everyone, so please ask questions and know what you are committing to before joining. Know your farmer.
