Welcome to The Clean Food Network

The Clean Food Network is a group of sustainable,certified naturally grown and transitional farmers from northern Alabama and southern Tennessee who are dedicated to providing clean unadulterated food fresh from their fields to your dinner table.They have come together to create markets at which they can collectively sell their produce, meats, eggs, and value added products to a larger market almost year round thru area farmers markets,restaurants,and this locally grown on-line market.

Our goal is to help small farmers to make a living and keep their farms. To help new farmers into the market without having to produce a wide variety of products when they may not necessarily have the knowledge to produce it. Hopefully this will help to create new and younger farms. New farmers will also have the access to more experienced farmers which can help them increase their knowledge base and increase their ability to produce more things as well as to keep quality high and develop sound and wise farming practices. Widening our market base and being able to offer the communities a wider selection of clean food through out the year exposes them to more opportunities to enhance their health, the ability to know and touch base with those who grow their food and participate in the process if they want to, whether it is taking their children to help pick at a farm or volunteer at the network itself, checking in and packing orders, delivering. This keeps money and energy in the communities. This also provides an opportunity for value added businesses to start up and market. We feel this enhances the farmers lives and the life of the community. It is a mutually supportive effort.

We have opened the market for business as of April 18th, 2008. All the information that you will need about ordering thru this market can be found on the Q&A page. If you have any questions you can call Dove at 256-891-9856
