Green Travel Itinerary

Farms, Markets, Gardens & Orchards, and Hayrides in Southeast Tennessee
Southeast Tennessee farmers pride themselves on the value of tradition. While the tractor has replaced the wagon, farmers in our region devote themselves to traditional ingenuity when harvesting their crops. That hard work and dedication shows in every fruit and vegetable they produce. Culture in another aspect Tennesseans believe in and show. The culture of our region can be seen in all of the many festivals offered here. And, any visit to Southeast Tennessee would not be complete without a scenic hayride through Southeast Tennessee's beautiful country side. Green is only something that can be experienced first hand while visiting a farm, garden, festival, or enjoying a fun hayride.
