At Hines Valley Farm I grow vegetables of superb taste; sell locally to keep our produce fresh; and farm according to USDA organic rules in order to minimize environmental harm.
Please visit and shop the Market Square Farmers Market May-December at Market Square in downtown Knoxville.
Market Square Farmers Market
Produce for October:
Lettuces-red, romaine, iceberg, butterhead or greenleaf; arugula; hard squashes-spaghetti or butternurt; green beans; bok choi; broccoli; cabbage; carrots; cauliflower; collards; kales-curly, lacinato, red Russian; mustard, sweet potatoes-orange, purple, or white flesh; "Asian" broccoli; turnips; eggplant; garlic; potatoes-red or white; okra; peppers-purple bells, Anaheims, Hungarian hot; cilantro.
You may also find Hines Valley Farm produce at Three Rivers Market as well as on the menu of The Plaid Apron in Sequoyah Hills and Northshore Brasserie in west Knoxville.
I have learned that many assume that all market farmers sell organic produce. This assumption is false. The majority of growers in the Knoxville markets are conventional. My USDA organic status is verified by independent inspection. Some farmers operate under the "certified naturally grown" standard similar to USDA organic: this regime is policed by member growers. Please see organic farming for details.
