There are lots of ways to buy fresh and to get to know your local grower. One concept, which has grown in popularity for 20 years, is Community Supported Agriculture. Originating in Japan and Europe, CSA's allow consumers to buy a seasonal “share” of a local grower’s farm and, in return, get a "share" of the resulting harvest.
Live Green Tennessee recently visited Bountiful Blessings Farm in Williamsport, Tennessee. Not only have the Dysinger brothers’ families found success in Community Supported Agriculture, but they’ve specialized in a time of year when most people wouldn't dream of receiving fresh local vegetables... In the middle of winter!

We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money...
But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
