You can find learning opportunities on farms across Tennessee. Such candid talks with consumers help dispel myths, and may encourage them to opt for more farm-fresh foods in the future. There are a lot of misconceptions, McSpadden says. He always tells the curious minds, “I’m vigilant and careful about what we spray, because I probably eat more apples than anybody!”

“I get a lot of questions about spraying on our farm we are very open about what we spray and how we spray,” McSpadden says. In addition, the orchard offers public tours during weekends in September and October, educating consumers about growing apples. We do a trailer ride through the orchard and talk about insects, how we control them and why we have to protect our apples,” he adds. In September and October, Monday through Friday, we are booked every day with 100 to 150 kids. “We also get a lot of elementary school field trips. “We love talking to customers on the retail floor and helping them make decisions on apples,” owner Chuck McSpadden says. About 98 percent of the orchard’s produce is sold at a store located right on the farm – making visitor interaction and education essential. Starting with just two apple trees in the 1960s, Apple Valley Orchard now boasts approximately 15,000 trees off the back roads of Cleveland. We hope to inspire a new generation to carry on the tradition.” It is such a joy to see children learning about life on a farm. “We really enjoy sharing our farm with the public. “We have been adding a new event or attraction to the farm each year since,” owner Ray Gilmer says.

The Gilmers of Falcon Ridge Farm in Toone have always been blessed with fresh fruits and vegetables. Both are successfully addressing consumer concerns and teaching the next generation what it’s like to be a modern-day farmer. For Tennessee operators looking for examples, look to the models set by Falcon Ridge Farm and Apple Valley Orchard.


One way farmers are educating the public is by opening their doors to visitors. The farmer’s role as educator has become increasingly important in recent years, as consumers are returning to farmlands asking where, and how, their food is produced. After all, they wear many hats – producer, planner, laborer, caretaker and even teacher. When asked about their work, most farmers will tell you there’s never a dull moment.
