Meet the Farmers
Hey there, farm friends!
We’re Jules and Lane Morris, and we’re excited to introduce ourselves to you. Admittedly, we are new, passionate farmers who are learning and growing each day on our East Tennessee farm on Norris Lake but we have been working in our first professional careers for decades.
As we have delved into this farming journey, we have seen a real opportunity for our combined skills and knowledge to give back and help support and uplift other farm and agricultural-maker businesses. We believe in the power of creativity and collaboration where we all bring our skills and expertise to cultivate a thriving farming community. The future of agriculture needs all of us to step up and be heard!
Ask questions, share an idea, or just say hello!
