Harvesting Community: Vuck Farm Steps into the Spotlight at Food Hub & Pumpkin Town

Where They’re Located & Farm Details

What They Do & What You’ll Find

Vuck Farm operates as an educational, regenerative farm and agritourism site.

• They grow herbs, vegetables, specialty crops, cut flowers, and medicinal herbs using biodynamic, organic, low-spray, and regenerative practices.

• The farm also hosts internships, workshops, and volunteer days to teach sustainable living, soil health, composting, regenerative farming, and on-farm operations.

• As part of their outreach, they have a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, selling seasonally to members.

• The farm is also branded in connection with “Spring Creek Nursery and Preserve at Vuck Farm” — emphasizing a vision of land stewardship, native plants, wetland preservation, and regenerative farming.

Third Friday Food Hub Farmers Market
Vuck Farm is a regular vendor at the Food Hub Farmers Market, held on the third Friday of each month. They bring fresh harvest, specialty produce, herbs, and flowers to the market, connecting with local consumers.

Pumpkin Town 2025
This year, the market will also be present during Pumpkin Town, integrating local food vendors into the fall festival. Vuck Farm’s participation gives them exposure to festival attendees who may not normally shop farmers markets, expanding their reach and strengthening community ties.

Why The Location & Context Matter

The farm’s location is strategic and symbolic:

• Being between Knoxville and Chattanooga means it’s accessible to two larger urban markets, which helps them serve multiple regional customers. 

• The setting in Riceville, McMinn County situates Vuck Farm in rural Southeast Tennessee — but close enough to cities to make market participation feasible.

• The land is layered with ecological purpose (wetland preservation, native plant nursery, regenerative methods) as well as hands-on production. They’re not just growing food; they are stewarding land.

• Their physical presence (farm address, contact phone, leadership) allows them to host farm visits, tours, intern stays, and agritourism experiences with legitimacy and transparency.
