In Town Organics is run by Jess, Nate, and Eli, and Stella Wilson. We are a small (3 acre)family farm located on 8th Street in Monteagle. The main goal of our farm is to provide year round food for our family and we sell what extra we have to supplement our income. We have all kinds of vegetables but we specialize in year round salad mixes, cool season crops, garlic, and herbs.

We practice sustainable agriculture and use many different techniques to grow our food. We do not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers and we try to use inputs that are not super dependent on petroleum (i.e. as local as we can find). We have a small flock of chickens and a few rabbits which we depend on for manure and we also use cover crops and mulches to add nutrients and organic matter to our soil. We try to keep our plants free from pests by planting at the right times, keeping our plants healthy, and by following a careful rotation. We do occasionally use products that are approved for use in organic crops if we have infestations. These are used as a last ditch effort and we will let our customers know if any of our products have been sprayed with anything other than water. We grow a number of heirloom crops and are constantly experimenting with new varieties as well as new techniques.
