Something is Wrong

With Our Food

We feel that. We've felt it for a while now. Our kids can't sit still, our food labels are undecipherable, and our party-sized bag of ultra-addictive Doritos gets inhaled in 5 minutes.

What did we do then? We tried a different store.

Didn't work.

That's because there IS no different store. Kroger and Walmart and Food City all buy from the same people. The "natural" grocery two towns over? Same people. Ten companies own almost every brand on every shelf in America. Same with the restaurants. Sysco, US Foods and Gordon supplies the same cheesecake to Applebees as it does to Outback and Chili's. Our kid's school cafeteria? The hospital mama stayed last Fall? Same monopolies. Same food. Different logos.

We can't fix that by switching lanes on the Interstate.

The only way out is a different road entirely.

That's what we are building at 1000 Hills Farm Store.

1000 Hills is the off-ramp. The alt-grocery where guilt-ridden parents will finally be able to find healthy single-ingredient OG-food for their families. To do that, we are building a network of real producers. Farm families who've have decided they aren't going to wait for the system to fix itself. Food whose supply chain is shorter than an hour and is raised the way our grandmothers would recognize: on pasture, in open air, fed what it was born to eat, without shortcuts.

We are building this because the food our families deserve is disappearing. The farms that grow it are disappearing. And if we don't make a different choice soon, that food is going to be gone.

Not rare. Gone.

This is the Homefood Movement. It isn't complicated. It's a return. Come join us as we grow this from the grassroots.

Frequently asked questions

Where are you located?

We are located in Kingston, TN, the county seat of Roane County. We are a second-tier suburb in the Knoxville Metro Area, where farm acres still out number concrete.

What experience do you have?

1000 Hills Farm Store is founded by small-scale livestock producers who also have extensive meat packing experience. Our diverse backgrounds also include careers in the military, IT and engineering fields.

What products do you sell?

Our product line will include meat and produce raised by local producers, ranchers, hobby farmers and even backyard gardeners. Items will include meat, eggs, honey, jams, salsa, candles, soaps, almost anything that can be grown within an hour of the store. But our primary product will be meat.

Why you? Can't I just go to another farm store?

Where? The closest ones are over 40 minutes away. And those don't sell local food. Just the anonymous type trucked in from one of the Big 4 processors.

When is your store open?

We are currently online only. The plan is to start selling and delivering beef and pork herd shares first, followed by retail cuts before opening up a storefront in Kingston.

Where did you get the name "1000 Hills?"

Three reasons: to glory in the rugged hill country of East Tennessee, to advertise our desire to reclaim local food sovereignty by franchising 1000 other stores throughout the Appalachian region, and, finally, to declare God's Lordship as reflected in Ps. 50:10: "God owns the cattle on a thousand hills."
