About The Farm

"A community's wealth is found in its people, not in its wallets."

Arete Farms is a small family-owned and operated farm located in Sweetwater, Tennessee. As owners, we could see the need for nutrient dense food, but also at an affordable price. Too often, government programs for single or low-income families barely supply basic nutritional needs. While organic, farm-fresh goods are usually priced too high to seem reasonable. At The Farm, we look to change that outlook. Healthy, fresh, local food is available, but also affordable.

 

We started in 2024, specializing in pasture-raised chicken and will soon add produce, herbs, fruits, and more along the journey. Our goal is to make nutrient-dense foods affordable for families, and believe a community's wealth is found in its people, not in its wallets.
