Thereโs More Up Here!
Meet local farmers, Jamie and Elise, who operate a farm share from their beautiful River Creek Farm in Limestone, Tennessee.
โWe choose to farm as a sustainable solution for increasing the amount of local, seasonal foods consumed by our community. We grow & distribute year round to increase food stability, accessibility to freshly harvested, cleanly produced foods; to reduce fossil fuels required for long distance transportation; to keep sales within our local economy; to support independence from a cross-continental food supply chain; to support small farmers and businesses; to encourage the use of sustainable growing practices over conventional methods; to improve the nutritional value of the food on our plates.โ
For further information on the local food system, farming, and gardening, please refer to the Appalachian Resource, Conservation and Development Council.
