On the Farm

Obtained in Fall of 2022, Forest Forage Farm is nestled on 2-acres right at the NC/TN border. Here, we grow diversified vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, and flowers; host workshops and community potlucks; and work with the land to restore and preserve its beautiful native ecosystem. We acknowledge and honor that Cherokee, Yuchi, and other indigenous peoples were the original inhabitants of this land.
