Mother Earth Meats

Reconnecting the consumers, farmers, and the land is the mission set forth at Mother Earth Meats. I am both proud and excited that I get to help with that reconnecting process. These fine folks are committed to raising and supplying food that has been treated with respect throughout the entire process. From the pasture the Bison is grazing on, to the amount of fuel it takes to deliver the steak, no detail is too small when providing the tastiest, most nutritious, cleanest food possible.

We have been using Mother Earth Meats here at Evins Mill for the past year. I have fallen in love with their variety of handmade sausages from chorizo to andouille; twelve in all I believe. We have experimented with some of their less common items as well, like the bison rib loin and rabbit saddle which is now a staff favorite if nothing else. They have also been supplying our whole chickens, chicken breast, pork loin, pork tenderloin, and even our free range turkeys we served for Thanksgiving. The variety and consistency is what really sets them apart from other farms. I have been nothing short of impressed with every delivery.

Mother Earth Meats is located in Maryville, Tennessee and makes a tour across the state about every month or so with deliveries. This requires us to be a little more organized and order in bulk, but is well worth the effort. Their website is full of information on how you might be able to enjoy some of their offerings at home, but you can count on having something from their farm on our table at the Mill every weekend. Hope to see you soon.
