While traveling across the country from New York to California, Melissa Rebholz made a stop in Tennessee and knew that one day she would be back. Now, she is settled in at River House Farm in Greeneville, TN growing organic fruits and vegetables. Melissa, who is a trained chef, also hosts monthly farm to table dinners on the farm. East Tennessee PBS takes us with them to Greeneville, TN for a visit at River House Farm.

My sister in law and her husband lived in Greeneville most of their life ....they mostly grew tobacco and lived a frugal life but was very happy with their life style. My wife and I live in West Virginia but Greeneville is one of the few places we would live other then here.

We just sold our home in MT. and are in the process of purchasing land in Greeneville. Hopefully our paths will cross as my wife and I are very much into gardening, and a self sustaining life style.

Just tilled up my garden today. I'm in Hawkins county TN. I moved here from Florida. The soil (clay) is very different than the soil in Florida. I look forward to spring every year because I love gardening and harvesting food I grew myself.

On my way to Greeneville seeking a better quality of life. If you know of a room mate or small cabin rental please let me know. Looking forward to the countryside which I was looking for in my big box transfer at Hixson. Hixson is the polar opposite and just left after someone recommended Greeneville. Sitting at a rest stop and came upon your video. It gives me some hope for TN after what I experienced. Thanks for posting. Oddly, if I couldn't find a place to live I was going to drive as far north as possible back to my home State NY.

I’m a little late here but hope things are going well. I just shake my head at people nowadays that look down their noses at living this way. All those people with all their ‘ things’ they’ve accumulated and they still are miserable.

Really enjoyed this video and glad you settled on Greene County. Gonna find out more about the supper club and hope my wife Bren and I can soon enjoy one of your dinners. We were on the board of The Depot Street Farmers market up till 2018 and took a break. We love the interaction with the community and the people. If you are not familiar with the market please check it out. All local vendors and must be within a 50 mile radius of Greeneville. Best of luck. Bill Jones, Nolichucky Treasures, Chuckey, Tn.

This place is awesome! You've done a wonderful job! but how about winter? How do you protect your vegetables from cold,snow and long lasting rainfalls ? ...a friend from Greece.

@denwerOkk 4 жыл бұрын

Winter is not a season for vegetables and fruits. You plant everything in spring, then wait for it to grow until summer and autumn. After that you make preservations for winter. You need to make enough preservations to live through winter. Potatoes, onions, apples preserve well in cold. Some other food like tomatoes and cucumbers has to be rolled up in sealed cans. Sometimes when the harvest is bad there can be not enough preservations. This is the biggest risk so there should always be some preservations made for longer term from previous harvests.

The way the farmers here make money on what they grow is to prepare it for sale , for instance, an apple and peach orchard near me sale here fruit at a high price so that it does not all sale and then they make cider , preserves, jelly’s, pies, and dried fruit , now that is when they began to get some extra money for there work.
