DIRT POOR FARM
About Dirt Poor Farm
Dirt Poor Farm is a small-scale 20-acre organically-grown produce farm located in Sweetwater, Tennessee, which was established in 2016. We offer both direct sales through our onsite farm store and farmers markets as well as our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Each crop is nurtured with love to produce clean, high quality, locally-grown products to satisfy our customers. Products offered include seasonal varieties of organically-grown produce, including customer favorites such as strawberries, mixed greens, tomatoes, okra, green beans, potatoes, sweet corn, and melons. Our CSA program offers vegetable options in both half and full shares with mushroom and baked good add-ons available through our co-op partnerships with River's Ridge Farm and Curtis & Watkins Farms. CSA pick up options include farm pick-up and delivery. Dirt Poor Farm services the East Tennessee area, with delivery available in the following counties: Greene, Cocke, Sevier, Blount, Loudon, Roane, Rhea, Meigs, McMinn, Hamilton, Bradley, Knox, Jefferson, Grainger, Anderson, Union, Hamblen, Campbell, and Claiborne.
