We'll be back at the JonesboroughFarmersMarket tomorrow from 8-noon.

Okra has finally arrived just in time for the tail end of summer. And we'll have peppers galore, cherry toms, and maybe just maybe the return of some eggplant. The Utopian Seed Project Promiscuous Peas have really given them a run for their money, sharing the same general area of the garden, but speaking of peas, dried pantry goods will be making their reappearance again soon!

Re: Scotch Bonnets. If you're in the hot sauce making mood, we will have these aplenty tomorrow and we're happy to work out a deal for a bunch of em and get you a really nice recipe from one Zane's cookbooks.

TLDR: We hope to see you back at market TOMORROW! 🎉

A little moment for this not so little yellow spider spotted in the basil patch today. If it's giving crustacean, that's because it's called a Goldenrod Crab Spider. If that's the first you've ever heard of it, samesies. And if it terrifies you, also, samesies.

But harvesting basil has never felt so adventurous and we're excited for a new garden pet that sounds like an unreleased Neutral Milk Hotel album that's been sitting on a shelf collecting dust, or in this case, spiderwebs.

Hey y'all! Hank's 4th Annual Tomato Party is right around the corner and we couldn't be more honored to co-host this year.

Do you need tomatoes, or other fun produce, for the potluck? We'll be offering pickup on the farm throughout this week.

Pictured above is our cherry tomato mix. 5 types, all unique and equally delicious, the list of names is too much to go into, so we won't. Rain has not been kind to our mater patch, so we will only have a limited number of these pints available.

That said, we have lots of pals growing excellent veggies near you. So we shamelessly recommend the following....

For Heirlooms:
📍 (JBO)
Message for pickup, or visit them Sat. JonesboroughFarmersMarket

📍Motte and Bailey Farm (JC)
Stop by their farm stand, or visit them Sat. Johnson City Farmers' Market

For the Best Dang Sungolds:
📍Golden Roots Farm (JC)
Stop by and see them Tues. Elizabethton Farmers Market

If you'd like to place an order for anything here before next weekend, just send a message to see what we've got. Look forward to seeing everyone next Sunday!

Hi there! It's been a while, aka never, since we introduced ourselves. With 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚏𝚕𝚢 𝚟𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚜 annual Tomato Party right around the corner happening here this year, we thought we'd say hello to some new faces! 

We're Zane and Amy, a couple of transplants from the Pennsylvania wilds who put down roots to start growing food and community here in Northeast TN. 

Growing up in another pocket of Appalachia made us pretty savvy in creating our own fun. Now as adults, we get to keep doing that ALL the time on our own little urban farm and backyard bakery, Slowbird Bread Co.. 

To be fair, it's not all fun. It's a lot of work, but it's really rewarding work, and we're always looking forward to the next season while we're busy in the current one. It makes it all feel meaningful when we get to share this space with others.

Whether you join us for this year's Tomato Party, come see us at the JonesboroughFarmersMarket, or just stop by to say hi and walk around the farm with us, we can't wait to see you!

📸 Our friend Eric Stevens took these nice pictures of us looking like real farmers last summer.  Check out his work and buy a collage, a print, or 10.

Hi friends! We're excited to be back at the JonesboroughFarmersMarket tomorrow from 8-noon.

Our peppers have arrived in full force. That means, we'll have a nice variety of sweet peppers, hot peppers, heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, mini eggplant, pickling cukes, summer squash, herbs, and pickles. Oh, AND, some tasty whole-grain pastries from Slowbird Bread Co..

For the first time in a long time, there's a chance it might not rain like crazy at market. Bratfolk will be playing some tunes and we're stoked. And you can still get FREE MONEY to spend at the market by taking a walk with Appalachian RC&D Council (ARCD)'s Farmacy Fit. Come hang out, and be sure to bring your dancing, or walking shoes. Whatever suits you best.

Hope to see ya then!
