The founders of the Three Hoes Farm, Robin, Nancy and Dave have always had an enthusiastic love of the outdoors. Robin, Dave’s mom raised her son in wholesome surroundings, either at home or at the beautiful Canadian lake property where they spent many summers. Dave, with his “creative imagination” was instrumental in the development of the Three Hoes Farm name during a brainstorming session for the Gatlinburg Farmers Market in which ideas were tossed about for possible bumper stickers. Nancy worked for the National Park Service “where she learned about the environment and natural processes of plants and animals and the importance of creating a balanced ecosystem (and life).”
Nancy believes that “eating the right foods is so important in creating a healthy lifestyle” and homegrown produce figures prominently in that belief. Robin, Nancy and Dave believe strongly that the fruits and vegetables we grow ourselves are far superior to the produce found in grocery stores as far as nutrition is concerned (and we couldn’t agree more). Therefore it seems natural that the Three Hoes Farm would not only want to grow and nurture their own gardens but also to share the bounty with their community.
The Three Hoes Farm, located in Newport, TN is blessed with amazing views of the Great Smoky Mountains and six and a half acres of rock free soil that was former pasture land. The trio has continued to restore and improve the property by planting trees and vegetation while also increasing their garden sites. They have shared their pesticide free produce at the Gatlinburg Farmers Market for many years not only because it is “a fun place to be every Saturday” but also because “it is a great social outlet” and “sharing recipes and tips on how to grow food the healthiest way are an added benefit” according to Robin, keeper of many “tried and true” recipes.
Robin, Nancy and Dave invite you to come to the Gatlinburg Farmers Market to sample their marvelous preserves, plants, and produce every Saturday. We are all grateful for their participation and enthusiasm for local, healthy produce.
