Sevier County Food Ministries began in 1992 as a voluntary ministry in downtown Sevierville, Tennessee. Our goal is to serve our community by providing food to those in need. Our Neighbors do not have to meet any qualifications to receive food. We conduct a brief interview to obtain basic information and to gain a better understanding of our Neighbor’s situation. Anyone who is experiencing a food shortage is welcome at our ministry! Our Neighbors may come once a week for as long as they need to.
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
