That’s a wrap on another great canning season!

Our Bradley County Cannery is officially FULLY BOOKED for the season!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out, rolled up their sleeves, and spent part of their season with us. We are grateful for our wonderful community and all the hard work, dedication, and delicious produce that came through our doors this year!

Keep an eye on your mailbox for our annual newsletter! It will include important updates and information to help you get ready for the 2027 canning season.

Until then, enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of your labor. There’s nothing quite like opening a jar of something you worked hard to put up and enjoying a little taste of summer all year long!

Tennessee landowners interested in learning more about generating farm income on property they already own or live on are encouraged to attend any of the five upcoming educational webinars from CPA to be held via Zoom beginning in September. The Farming Where You Live webinars will cover a variety of educational topics relevant to Tennessee landowners. The program especially targets small-acreage landowners, beginning farmers, and timber or forest landowners in Tennessee. However, all interested individuals are encouraged to attend.

Detailed information on the Farming Where You Live webinar series, including a list of session topics and speakers, is available online at tiny.utk.edu/CPAEvents.

Knowing that many of our Tennessee landowners are seeking opportunities to generate farm income on property they already own, the purpose of this webinar series is to provide free educational sessions that will help generate new insight or ideas into utilizing existing farm or forest land to its fullest potential.

Sessions are free to attend, but preregistration is required. Interested individuals may register for the Farming Where You Live webinar series online at tiny.utk.edu/FWYL. Note that a valid email address is required to register for the program.
