TOUR WITH THE BAREFOOT FARMER
The Tennessee Organic Growers Assoc.(TOGA) is organizing a tour of Long Hungry Creek Farms owned and operated by Jeff Poppen, known as the “Barefoot Farmer.” The tour will be this Sunday, September 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will be free except for the transportation to and from the farm starting at the Nashville Farmers Market. Depending upon response, we may combine rental vans and/or car pooling. So please register soon so we may coordinate the logistics. Free lunch will be provided by the Long Hungry Creek staff!

Long Hungry Creek Farm was created in the 1970s and is still operated by Jeff who practices an organic method of farming called biodynamic, and sometimes referred to as “beyond organic.” Simply stated, Jeff’s method of farming not only provides a prodigious supply of great produce for his CSA members and community, but it enhances his land and protects our watershed. I have often stated, that if all inputs stopped flowing into Middle Tennessee, Jeff’s farm would most likely keep producing because it is one of the most self-sufficient farms in the state. Jeff is a multi-faceted farmer and very generous with his time, expertise, and his produce.

See you there!

DAYSPRING FARM OFFERS
Pumpkins, butternut squash, and eggs.

We farm organically and almost all our seeds are heritage varieties obtained from seed saver exchanges. The ones that are not, are organic varieties. Our animals are all pasture raised with no antibiotics or hormones and our chickens have had only non-GMO feed in addition to their ranging. We are excited to be bringing these products to the market.
