Friends & Farmers, held every October, is our annual family-friendly appreciation event and a favorite way to give back and show gratitude for the dedication and support that makes our work possible. Whether you’ve donated, sponsored our programs, contributed to the East Tennessee Local Food Guide, volunteered, or participated as a vendor at a Nourish Knoxville market, you’re an essential part of our local food system, and we couldn’t do it without you!
Friends & Farmers 2026: Oct 18
Hosted at beautiful Strong Stock Farm in East Knox County, a working cattle farm established in 1791, Friends & Farmers offers a day of fun celebrating our local food system. This invitation-only event brings together donors, chefs, farmers, nonprofits, and other supporters of Nourish Knoxville and our local food community to mingle and enjoy a laid-back day together.
We’d love for you to join us – any one of these scores you an invite!
Join our community of supporters and enjoy an unforgettable day of celebrating local food and all the people who make it possible! To learn more, contact us at outreach@nourishknoxville.org.
