Welcome to Fresh From The Farm TN, a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. We offer weekly deliveries of locally grown produce from the Tellico Mennonite Community located right here in the heart of East Tennessee.
Just like you would subscribe to your local grocery app, instead, get your produce from a local CSA and support a farming community near you. You will receive a weekly basket of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and occasionally, freshly baked goods from our farmers in the Tellico Community Market. Unlike what comes out of the store, this produce is grown and eaten by our Mennonite community.
From the farm to your table every Tuesday.

Benefits of a Membership
As a member, you receive produce that is picked at its peak and delivered to you fresh. You no longer have to purchase produce that is picked prematurely to allow the transit time to reach the consumer. We are talking about the difference in taste between a gas ripened, store-bought tomato and a fresh vine ripened tomato like mama use to put on the dinner table. You can rely on environmentally friendly farming methods, which are not conducive to mass farming.
Benefits to the Mennonite Farmers
They can spend time focusing on growing the best possible local produce so we can deliver it to you. The mix of spring, summer, and fall crops with a developed market will allow them to utilize the growing season that is available.
Everything on the farm is grown and harvested by horse or hand. Our Farmers do not use any type of tractors or modern farming equipment. You can feel comfortable knowing you're getting some of the best local produce available, the same produce they feed their own families. Thanks to your support, they are able to maintain their thriving community.
