Our plans are constantly evolving as we figure out how best to operate in this time of uncertainty. We have decided that for the present, Tubby Creek Farm will not be attending the Cooper Young Community Farmers Market. Instead, we will be offering our Certified Naturally Grown produce, honey, goat meat, plant starts, and other products through our online store for home delivery.
Why isn’t Tubby Creek attending the market?
We have decided not to sell at the market because we feel uncomfortable asking our employees to put themselves out in public and increase their chances of contracting and/or spreading COVID-19. Likewise, we do not feel comfortable encouraging people to come out to the market. We have been working on ramping up our online store. Since we can do home deliveries and online ordering, we have decided that we do not need to be at the market.
It is not a decision that was easy to make. We have been at the Cooper Young Community Farmers Market as long as Tubby Creek Farm has been in existence. Before Tubby Creek, Josephine attended the market with GrowMemphis and even participated in the steering committee that founded the CYCFM. It is hard to step away. But we believe in erring on the side of caution. Hopefully things will change, and we will be able to come back to the farmers market. Here on the farm, we are growing as we would for a typical year. In the meantime, we hope everyone is staying home and staying safe a much as possible.
Online Store
We are adapting to the changing situation and for the first time ever offering ONLINE shopping with HOME DELIVERY. The Tubby Creek Farm online store opens every week on Tuesday, and you can place an order until Friday morning at 6AM. This gives us enough time to harvest and pack the orders so that they can be delivered Saturday morning!
We are starting by offering home delivery to addresses in zip codes 38103, 38104, 38105, 38111, 38112, 38114 and 38126. Are you outside our delivery area? Email randy@tubbycreekfarm.com to see if home delivery may still be an option.

You can also pick up your order on the farm. Orders for farm pick up get a discount and there is no minimum purchase. When you place an order we will be contact you to schedule a pick-up.
