My dear friend Stephen Felts first introduced me to the concept of farm friendly food a few years ago. Basically the idea is, the more you know who grows your food the more accountable they are to you. It’s making the food buying experience more relational instead of transactional.
Well, Stephen and his wife Danika have been working hard for a few years to start their own farm and they’re making progress! Now they are providing farm friendly food to others. And they just launched the Fresh Earth Farm and Orchards website this month.
I’ve personally tasted the fruits of their labors (zucchini and chicken among other things) and can tell you this is good stuff. I know they’ll have some whole chickens ready in the next few weeks, so if you’re in Middle Tennessee, be sure to call them up (or email them) and get some farm friendly goodness.
Oh and be sure to read all about the recent new additions to the farm.
