Celebrate 25 years with Crabtree Farms

Nestled in the Clifton Hills neighborhood lies Crabtree Farms, a community-focused urban farm that has been serving the greater Chattanooga area since 1998.

Over the years, the farm has evolved and expanded, but its mission has remained the same — “to help grow a healthier, stronger, and more equitable Chattanooga.”

Today, the farm serves as a multifaceted organization that provides fresh produce and plants, offers educational programs, conducts community outreach, and holds a commitment to environmental stewardship. All of which are pretty great, if we do say so ourselves.

The community mosaic that has been in the works over the past year will be unveiled at the celebration.

In honor of its 25-year anniversary, the community is invited to come out to Crabtree Farms on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 3 to 8 p.m. for afternoon festivities. Note: The celebration is family-friendly, free to attend, and open to all.

Here’s what you can expect from the celebration:
  • Tree planting
  • Yard games + kids activities
  • Tractor rides
  • The unveiling of the community mosaic (created by Jessie Bean of Bean and Bailey Ceramics)
  • Live music + a performance by the Pop-Up Project’s Youth Program
In true community spirit, the evening will round out with a potluck and a bonfire. Crabtree Farms will be serving cider, chili, and birthday cake (a carrot cake from Poppyton’s Patisserie, btw) — you just bring the sides.

Bonus: Looking to give Crabtree Farms a birthday gift? The folks at the farm have made a 25th birthday list that includes items that support their field trips, cooking classes, the Urban Farm & Greenhouse, the community garden beds, and other outreach opportunities.

From the editor
Pop Punk’s not dead. As a lover of this genre, I’m a little obsessed with the Pop Punk fall menu over at Goodman Coffee Roasters. Get these seasonal drinks while you still can. I highly recommend the “Miz Biz” cold brew latte named after the Paramore hit.
