Shady Grove Farm and Sawmill

Shady Grove Farm is located in rural east TN at the edge of the Cumberland Plateau west of Knoxville. We are a small family farm with 80 acres of pasture and woods. We also manage two adjacent parcels for grazing. We offer grass-fed beef, grass-fed lamb, pastured poultry, and free-range eggs.

We began farming with the intent to raise our own foods products to know first hand the origin and health of our meats. We enjoyed the food and farming so much that we began offering our meats to family and then friends. Since then our customer base has continued to grow by word of mouth until this year when we expanded through advertising. We only sell what we ourselves would eat.

Our animals are moved twice daily to new pasture using management intensive grazing techniques.These techniques allow more evenly distributed fertilization, long rest times before re-grazing, and help in the healing of the land. Healthy land produces healthy food which in turns produces healthy people.

Feeds for our animals consist of grasses, hay, and minerals for the cattle and sheep. The poultry receive only natural grain based feeds along with what nature provides in the way of grasses/greens, seeds, and bugs.

"Local" is the key to knowing where your food comes from and how it is raised. The majority of our customers are within a 200 mile radius ranging from Knoxville to Cookville and as far south as Chattanooga.

We welcome visitors to our farm to observe first hand how a healthy farm is managed. Come for a visit.
