a chemical-free, family-owned vegetable farm and CSA located just outside of Knoxville, TN

Care of the Earth Community Farm is located on Rutledge Pike just outside of Knoxville, TN. It is a family-owned and family-operated chemical-free vegetable farm and CSA. The 28.5 acre farm is located in the shadows of House Mountain State Natural Reserve and is flanked on one side by the Big Flat Creek, which forms part of the Holston River watershed.

Wendell Berry, a well-known author and farmer, once wrote, "The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope."

The mission of this farm is to pursue the care of the earth, which to us means the care of earth, the care of our fellow human beings, the care of our community, the care of our family, and the care of ourselves.

At Care of the Earth Community Farm, we seek to cherish and renew the earth by adhering to organic and certified naturally grown principles (although we are not certified); to provide an alternative for our family that allows us to center our lives at our farm; and to provide fresh, healthy, and nutritious vegetables to members of our community, a relationship with the people and place that grow those vegetables, and access to both the practical and spiritual underpinnings of our farm.

We returned to East Tennessee in early 2009, after farming at a 250-member CSA in Poughkeepsie, NY for the past three years, to pursue our dream of creating a place that embodies this mission. We are excited and humbled by the task before us and sincerely hope that you too will chose to participate in it.
