We grow outrageously delicious, unusually colored heirloom varieties of your favorite garden veggies.  We value the history and tradition that's preserved in heirloom seeds, many which are only still available because generations of farmers and gardeners have preserved and passed them along.  Many of these varieties are cherished for their delectable flavor and beautiful colors but are easily damaged and must be handled delicately, thus they have fallen out of the favor of conventional agriculture.

Our farm is located in Vandergriff Hollow, off Dry Creek in Dowelltown, Tennessee.  Butterflies, dragonflies, swallows, bats, and fireflies can all be found filling the air on a summer evening.  We value biodiversity on our farm.  We encourage an entourage of wild neighbors (hopefully not including the deer) to visit our farm.  We are not certified organic, but our devotion to protecting the environment and producing food using ecologically sound practices ensures that we never use harsh synthetic chemicals for either pest control or fertilization.  Instead we use insecticidal soaps and the ultimate organic pest control: hand picking.  Our chickens love Japanese beetles and potato beetle larvae.

We believe that food should not only be pleasing to the palate, but pleasing to the eyes.  We offer a very limited number of CSA shares, and we strive to fill each week's basket with a variety of produce so that our share members can create their own edible works of art.  We offer both full shares for families and half shares for couples.  Full shares are also perfect for splitting with a friend.  We are happy to offer drop offs in front of the Blue Tomato Market and Café in Watertown on Wednesday afternoons and at the DeKalb County Farmers' Market in Smithville on Saturday mornings.  Click here for detailed information about our CSA.

You can enjoy Purple Maize produce in fine dishes at the restaurant at The Inn at Evin's Mill in Smithville and at the Blue Tomato Market and Café (formerly Lulu's) in Watertown.

We are also at the DeKalb County Farmers' Market in the new pavilion behind Ace Hardware in Smithville every Saturday morning from [about] 6am-1pm.
