Ted here! I’ll be leading a Beginner Gardening workshop at the Memphis Mushroom Festival on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 from 10:30 – 12:30. The web is full of resources for gardeners–so much so that it can be overwhelming. Here are a few that I find really useful: What to plant (based on your area): USDA …
This coming Monday we are taking five of our hogs to Yoder Brothers Meat Processing in Paris, Tennessee for processing for our current Hog Share members. Yoder Bros. is a USDA inspected processing facility, family owned, and has so far been great to work with. Hog share members have mostly paid for these pigs already, …
Starting on February 1, we’ll be accepting 20 shareholders for our spring CSA. Once a week for six weeks, you’ll receive a 1/2 bushel box full of fresh produce from the farm. In at least three of those boxes, you’ll also get a surprise free gift from us — farm-fresh eggs, a hand-crocheted vegetable bag, or a jar …
Clockwise from top left: onions, arugula, garlic, radishes, beets,lettuce, pac choi. So you’ve waited all spring for the first mystery box of vegetables to arrive–and now it is time!

From Oak Hill Farms Last fall, Tim Ammons of Oleo Acres brought out his ladders, scrapers, and paint gear to give Oak Hill a fresh coat of paint.

At the Collierville Farmers’s Market today, we were talking to a patron about our shared love of spicy food. The hot peppers aren’t in yet, but in preparation for the season here is the official recipe for Manhattan Project Hot Sauce. Like its namesake, the effects of this sauce are difficult to predict, and the …
Our garlic is grown with love (not pesticides and inorganic fertilizers). You can eat this garlic fresh (uncured) but once you cut open a head it won’t last long—so use it soon!
