Blessed Creek Farm, Inc.

We bring 18 years of combined gardening and farm experience to our land and home in Surgoinsville, TN. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), market garden sales, pastured poultry and eggs, as well as pasture-raised pork will be our offerings to the local food scene. We will manage our farm using natural, chemical-free methods and possibly seek organic certification at some point. The CSA will be 12 weeks and include assorted fresh veggies from our garden for weekly pickup. Total costs for the 12 weeks is $336.00. Please join us on this adventure and consider buying a 'share' of our garden harvest through our CSA program. Pickups are currently scheduled for Saturdays at the Jonesborough Farmers Market from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and Wednesday?s at New Harvest Park in Knoxville from 4:00-4:30 p.m. This farming and homesteading adventure is the culmination of our shared years of dreaming and planning. I, Eric Gibian spent some wonderful years farming and operating CSA out of Washburn, TN before family obligations took me back to south Florida. There I met Bridgett, who learned to garden while living for eight years in Switzerland. Together we founded a non-profit community garden program in south Florida, providing produce to a local food bank along with CSA shares and educational opportunities to volunteer gardeners who also shared in the harvest. I've been a teacher, coach, and small business owner. Bridgett has personal assistant, aviation administration and sales experience. Oh, and she can fly an airplane too. We are so looking forward to getting our hands dirty to serve the local community with the freshest healthiest naturally grown food possible. Please reach out to join our email list and follow us on social media. At some point we will schedule a farm tour to meet and discuss further details. Since the bulk of our experience is in gardening we will initially offer the veggie CSA. This year the plan is to utilize our pasture land for intensive rotational grazing of pigs and chickens. The general strategy is to divide the pasture into many smaller 'paddocks' and graze cows, then a few days later to move chickens through the fields allowing them to add fertility while eating bugs, seeds, and other forage left behind. For the past two years our produce, meat birds, and eggs have been for sale to the public with first priority given to CSA members.
