Zavels' Story
We are a family farm located in Corryton, TN.
Zavels Family Farms began in the early 1970's as a registered Angus Cattle Farm, with the original 95 acre farm in East Knox County. At that time it was known as Blaine Angus Farm. The farm was founded by Mose and Nell Zavels. The second generation to farm this pristine land is Mike Zavels and his wife Tammy. They began full time farming in 1982 and have added to the farm product mix ever since which now encompasses 300 acres. Tammy can usually be found at the Farmer's Markets each week during the summer season.
The 3rd generation Zavels' are Lindsey, Zack, and Charlie. Zack and Charlie both started full time farming with their father after getting their college degree. Lindsey and her husband Jason welcomed a beautiful little girl, Kinley, in June of 2017. Zack's wife and his wife Logan added to the farm hands this past February with our new family member, Boone! Logan, and sometimes Boone, can be found at Farmer's Markets during the summer months. Charlie recently graduated from UT with a degree in plant science and married his wife, Stevie. Mike, Zack, and Charlie can all be found on the farm during the week either planting, picking, or packing. Catch them on Saturdays during the summer months at market!
Our produce is picked the day of for every market. We pride ourselves in having fresh and local products so produce is never stored in an industrial cooler before market. Beyond market, you can find our produce at multiple restaurants around Knox and Blount County.
We are not certified organic. However, we strive to use organic crop production methods whenever possible. We farm with a hands on approach and with Zavels' hands only touching your products.
