The Amazing Organic Farm of Tennessee

B*ROCK here!

All right everyone grab a cold brew, kick back and prepare yourself for one of the greatest part of our journey yet. I present to you "Kayce and Brock visit Signal Mountain Farm, Tennessee". http://www.signalmountainfarm.com

After departing from Bristol, VA we took the side roads till we reached Chattanooga, TN (once again). My good friend Allie Eady gave us directions and mentioned we'd be hanging and spending the night on an organic farm. Kayce and I didn't really think much of it until we pulled into the driveway. The following pictures don't do justice to just how amazing this place is. We arrived during their weekly pickup for the CSA. Honestly, the best we have ever seen.

Kayce showing off the organic tomatoes. Little Paul Dewey?
Allie giving us a tour and giving us the down low on everything that grows here.
The farm sits on 100 acres and is Tennessee's second largest organic farm. This is just a small portion of the farm.
Allie and myself. Walking through all sorts of goodness.
Tom here, the owner dropped out of school at 14 and started the farm with help from a handful of friends. Sit down and have a conversation with this guy and you'll learn the many wild tales of his adventures riding motorcycles through South America. Tom is an absolute intelligent and amazing dude. Thanks for letting us stay Tom!
Swiss Chard Close up!
Sawyer. One of the many dogs on the farm. He decided to hang with us due to the approaching thunderstorms.
Kayce and Allie at one of the many ponds on the farm.
Allie headed towards one of the cabins.
Tom's cabin. One of the greatest features was his custom made floating deck on top two catamarans with a bass trolling motor.
Storm rolling in. The power got knocked out for over two hours.
We had plenty of old school lamps to give us some light.
Eat organic! Be a hippie!
This one's for Paul Dewey.
We stayed in Tom's mom's cabin. It was filled with amazing antique items and old school livin'.
What?
The next morning we were able to watch Tom and his staff plant organic cucumbers.

My good friend Allie and myself before departing. Thanks again for letting us stay Allie! Wish we could have stayed longer...

  1. ...stop the weed growth?. We use "weed kill" and bleach constantly. I think there should be a filler (Putty-like substance) that I could put there to stop the weeds once and for all. Help!!!. interlocking decking
