About
What is Tennessee Farm Fresh?
Tennessee Farm Fresh is a specialized program in cooperation with the Tennessee Farm Bureau and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture that offers both producers and consumers the chance to support their local economy. Buying products straight from the farm or farmers market is a growing trend nation wide and this program's goal is to give the local producer the ability to market their farm fresh products directly to their neighbors.
What is the Purpose of this Program?
The program offers producer identification and consumer communication. Tennessee has a variety of locally produced specialty crops and other agricultural products. It is very important to maintain a strong agricultural community in Tennessee. Assisting producers with promotion of their farm products, and providing consumers with a connection to these local products, are just a few ways we can contribute to keeping agriculture viable in Tennessee.
Why Should People Buy Locally?
Buying locally is beneficial in many ways. Buying locally benefits local farmers, local economy, and agriculture; not to mention that when you buy locally you are purchasing a much fresher product. People enjoy the experience of communicating and being educated about the products they are buying and the food they are eating.
In order to be eligible for the program, a producer must read, sign and agree to the Tennessee Farm Fresh Guidelines, pay a $100 annual fee, fill out and sign the application and send all of those to the program coordinator, Tiffany Mullins. Producers will be notified of approval into the program by the Tennessee Farm Fresh coordinator and review committee.
