Small Scale Vegetable Classes
Small Scale Agriculture is a program that was born and developed in Cocke County. Many people moving to Tennessee are looking for ways to be sustainable on small acreage, and this series aims to provide education to get producers started out right.
Small Scale Agriculture covers a variety of topics including home vegetable gardens, producing small fruits, fruit tree grafting, garden construction, and more!

Home Garden Management Calendar
Each year our horticulture specialists produce this management calendar with important dates for fruit and vegetable production. Things like seeding dates, transplant dates, frost dates, and insect and disease scouting dates are just a few of the topics included.
The Home Garden Calendar can be accessed digitally by clicking on the image to the right.
You can also pick up a hard copy at the Extension Office in Newport.
