Farm Markets, U-Picks & Orchards

“From Our Land to Your Hands” is the motto at 7M Family Farms, a family-owned small farm in Blairsville with farming roots that stretch back 100 years. Fourth generation grower Dick Mills combines organic open field farming with an impressive greenhouse and hydroponics operation. The result is a year-round bounty of flavorful, locally grown fruits and vegetables. The farm is making a name for itself with its impossibly plump-and juicy hydroponic strawberries — but don’t miss the hydroponic tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, kale and peppers, too. Mills also works a variety of traditional row crops, such as okra, cucumbers, sweet corn, cabbage and pumpkin, all of which are grown pesticide-free using organic supplies and non-GMO seeds. 7M Family Farms rolls out the farm-fresh goodness Tuesdays and Saturdays at the Union County Farmers Market, as well as through a CSA program. But there’s no beating a drive out to the farm, where you’ll find a farm market, seasonal u-pick opportunities, farm tours and an assortment of arts & crafts. Visit the website or call for hours & days of operation.

Animals are raised in a pasture and in the woods in a stress-free environment and they are & handled humanely throughout all stages of life. The cattle are grass-fed and grass-finished. Pigs are a Heritage Berkshire Hamp/York Cross. Mountain Valley Farms processes only a small number of animals; there are no assembly lines. Beef is available in a variety of cuts, on a limited basis, including filets, New York strips, rib eyes, prime rib, ground beef, London broil and more. The beef is also dry aged. Dry aging involves hanging the beef in a cooler for several weeks near freezing temperature to allow moisture to evaporate from the muscle. This concentrates and saturates the beef flavor and allows the natural beef enzymes to help break down the connective tissue making the beef more tender. Only high grades of beef can be dry aged as the process requires an evenly distributed fat content – something that is inherent in grass-fed beef. You rarely find aged beef […]
