Everett Heritage Farm

Everett Heritage Farm Everett Heritage Farm is a family farm located in Chickamauga, GA. We no longer sell to the public. We have chosen heirloom and organic seed varieties.

Everett Heritage Farm is the collaborative effort Craig Savoie and Stephanie Everett. Sustainability is a driving tenet of our farming philosophy which is based on natural bio-intensive and heritage farming methods. The land we cultivate has been a part of the Everett family farm for more than 100 years in McLemore Cove at the base of Lookout Mountain. We believe that crop diversity and cultivatio

n of multiple varieties of each of the fruit and vegetable type we plant make for a more nutritious and balanced diet for our table, community and the garden soil as well. Our garden is designed around three seasonal bio-intensive plots and soon will include a fourth plot for year round production. Like many farming families, cultivation has skipped one generation and we are beginning a new - embracing natural farming practices and organic methods, such as cover crops, composting, mulching, companion planting along with organic pest management and crop rotation. The majority of our materials are gathered from the 72 acre farm and surrounding Cedar Grove community. We are excited to revive a family tradition of providing quality farm products to Chattanooga and the surrounding communities.

It affects you too…

If you think what’s going on in the southeast as a result of hurricane Helene doesn’t affect you, think again.

It’s been the beginning harvest season in these states. The southeastern states are big agricultural producers who have just lost homes, crops, livestock, friends, and more.

Cotton bolls were open across Georgia and South Carolina. When cotton is blown from the boll, is wet, or touches the ground, it is a loss due to degradation of the fibers. When a cotton crop is lost, this means the price of cotton related goods will go up in the coming months. Your t-shirts, blue jeans, table cloths, q-tips, hats, and more will all be more expensive.

Peanuts weren’t all dug. Peanuts are a legume with the fruit of the plant being beneath the surface of the earth. Excessive water will cause them to rot and this will be a crop loss as well. This will affect the cost of your peanut butter, Reese’s cups, peanut brittle, Chick-fil-A (peanut oil), trail mix, and more.

Pecan orchards are at a loss as many trees have been blown over. After replanting, it takes years before these trees produce nuts. Pecan prices are already high as they are tough to come by, and are a luxury import for other countries such as China. Pecans are used in lots of baked goods, especially around Christmas and other holidays. The dessert tables at the coming holidays will be priced higher.

Peach trees have been blown over and lost in some areas as well. Peaches are a delicate crop that had finally recouped after a previous season loss due to frost and freeze. Peaches will also be in lower supply next season, and we all know Georgia and South Carolina have the best peaches.

Livestock producers have experienced loss, but will continue to face even more loss over time. Many producers rely on wells to water their livestock as they are in rural areas. Wells require power to generate a water source. Generators are great, but many areas are also out of fuel as well. Stress from these difficult conditions on animals will also reduce their productivity over time.

While we worry for all farmers and our food supply, our hearts are with dairy producers. Approximately 20% of dairy farms in Georgia are still without power, and some without generator options. No power means no good way to milk cows. Milking by hand isn’t realistic for many family operations as their milking herds are larger than what can be hand milked in a day. These animals can’t just stop producing milk. Many are uncomfortable, stressed, and will be subject to related health problems of not being milked. Watching the animals you love and rely on suffer due to no fault of your own is extremely difficult. Milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, and other dairy products may be in limited supply over the coming months.

With farmers losing their crops and livestock, they’re also at a loss for an income source. They are not paid by the hour, but by the weight of their product.

They will spend months in clean up. Extra manual labor will be required to try to preserve family farming operations. They will be tired and weary.

Remember the farmers and their passion to produce quality products as you feed your families. When prices for goods increase in the coming months, please don’t complain. Farmers are losing their livelihoods and still earn only pennies on the dollar. They need your grace, prayers, support, and compassion as their future is extremely uncertain. It affects you too.

Good morning friends & neighbors.🌻

I’m reaching out the community because we’ve had a terrible progression of destruction brought on by an inexperienced heavy machine operator occur to the wetlands, springs & the holler road here on South Cedar Lane.

TODAY we need help picking up hundreds of small limbs & debris as well as moderate level work with hand tools to clear the once flowing ditches to prevent the road from washing out and keeping our residents that live off the road safe.

The debris area is about 1/2 a mile long.

Feel free to give me a call.

My best,

We joking called last Sunday’s music show “The Ragweed Sessions”, but don’t blame the pretty yellow Golden Rod for all of those annoying symptoms…🌻🌈🌻

Sneezing a lot lately? Blame ragweed, not goldenrod.
