I am Bob Due and believe that ones health has a lot to do with what we eat and don't eat. Good tasting vegetables are a joy to have in ones diet and I am doing what I can to provide high quality, clean and safe local food via several Farmers Markets in the Knoxville, TN area.
The name for my farm reflects my concern about soil conservation. On most of the cultivated slopes in Eastern Tennessee farm land, soil erosion can be severe. So I have terraced all the cultivated slopes with terraces. This gives me a level "field" on my hills and goes a long way to help keep the soil where it is.
The photo on the left shows the West terraces with most of them in winter rye cover crop. This was about 2005. Since then, I have built one high tunnel to the right and am now preparing a space for the second high tunnel. The tunnels enable me to bring fresh produce to the market in the early spring.
