A good day of work doesn’t always finish the way you started it. That’s just the truth of it. You load up, you show up for the people around you, you put in the hours — and sometimes the machine has other plans.
Spring prep season is in full swing at Seven Deers Farm in East Tennessee and the work never really stops. Tilling, turning, getting the ground ready before the growing season takes over. The hoop houses don’t care about your schedule and neither does a broken exhaust. You just deal with what’s in front of you and come back tomorrow.
This is what it actually looks like to run a small farm in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Not the highlight reel. The whole thing. 🌱🚜

Winter doesn't last forever at Seven Deers Farm. When the ground starts to wake back up, Dustin does too. Out here before most people are out of bed, clearing and turning and getting ready for what's coming. A dead battery, a friend showing up, hands in the dirt. This is what the beginning of a season actually looks like. Spring is here and the peppers aren't far behind. 🌱

The last winter market is behind us. These are the mornings we show up for — familiar faces, food you can trust, a community that still believes in doing things the right way.

Thank you to everyone who came out this season. Thank you to the farmers who showed up every weekend and the neighbors who kept coming back.

The spring and summer market returns the third weekend of April. Until then, support your local farmers any way you can. It matters more than you know.

This is the kind of place where you're encouraged to linger. We'll see you in April. 🌱

Three sauces coming out of the Tennessee Red Man kitchen and Dustin's been busy. 🌶️
First up, a brand new serrano sauce that nobody's really heard about yet. It runs cumin heavy and Dustin's been describing it as a taco and chili geared sauce — the kind of thing you reach for when you want something bold but familiar. He's been trialing it at the house and passing bottles around. Early returns are good.
Then there's Thai Kai. 🔥 It's back, but not exactly the same. This time around Dustin folded chili crisp oil into the mix — sweet up front with the heat coming in on the back end. If you liked the original, this one's got a little more going on. Sits around a 6 out of 10 on heat but hits different than it used to.
And then the puma. ☕ This one's been fermenting with molasses and Katua coffee, and at 90 days in it's already showing that early fermentation bite — what Dustin calls the "wang" of a young sauce. Bold, complex, and still developing. People who've tried it keep coming back.
All three are in the works. None of them are rushed. That's just how Tennessee Red Man operates — from the pepper seeds all the way down to what ends up in the bottle. 🫙

We love to grow peppers!

Pepper season at Seven Deers Farm starts January 1st. Dustin plants his seeds on New Year's Day every year — earlier than most, and intentionally so. Peppers take time, and he's not willing to shortcut that. By March he's already got 600 plus seedlings coming up strong across multiple varieties, most of them grown from seeds saved right here on the farm. Heirlooms that have been in the garden for years. He grows them for the colors, the shapes, the sizes, the way each one develops differently. He calls himself a pepper addict. This is what that looks like.

The tedious work that goes into seeding and transplanting often goes overlooked. Its taken years to learn timing, depth, lights, and care but each year gets better!...... Lets get to Spring*
