Rural Resources is all about LOCAL FOOD! Based in the agricultural heart-land of rural, Appalachian, East Tennessee we are connecting local farms and food with families! Our region has traditionally been one of small scale subsitance farms where nearly every family milked a cow, kept some chickens, and grew a garden. But, in recent generations, we've seen a growing disconnect between our families and the food we eat. The results are an aging farming popluation and a new culture of diet related health illness that includes obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more.
We want to change all that! Using our community farm as home base and our Mobile Farmers' Market to connect local farms with YOU we want to help you experience where your food comes from: growing it, cooking it, and/or eating it! We are involving youth in the experience and working with local growers to promote and distribute real, nutritious, food to families all around our hometown of Greeneville, TN and beyond! Do you want to be a part of teaching or learning? Growing produce for the community? Or, do you just want to sink your teeth into a juicy tomato with real taste? If your answer is yes, we want to connect with you! Contact us or check out all the ways you can purchase local food!
We are excited about this food adventure! We invite you to join the fun...GROW IT, COOK IT, EAT IT! Know Farms! Know Food!
