Persephone's Garden (fka Opossum Bottom) is a small urban farm nestled against the mountains in Johnson City TN. Way back in the 70s, Chris started gardening with his great aunt. While helping her in her garden, she taught him how to grow things without the assistance of synthetic products, which now, fast forward 40 years, is a more familiar term, organic. While many of the methods have changed since then, the base fundamentals of growing sustainably, improving the land on which you grow, and providing synthetic free food are still the same. Opossum Bottom strives to incorporate those fundamentals in their practices so that their produce is free of all synthetic products. No pesticides, no fungicides, no herbicides, nothing, just good practices, natural fertilizers, rainwater, and a love of growing.
