Off-Grid Farm Store in Pikeville, TN Now Open with Solar-Powered Fridge ☀️🥬

As more residents across the Sequatchie Valley seek locally sourced food and sustainable shopping options, Switchgrass Farm‘s newly operational off-grid store is filling a growing appetite for farm-fresh produce and artisan goods right here in Van Buren County. The addition of solar power infrastructure marks a significant step forward for the farm’s retail operation.

Switchgrass Farm has launched its weekend hours at 418 Alexander Road in Pikeville, with a solar-powered refrigeration system now keeping fresh produce, herbs, and eggs available throughout the week. 🌱 The farm operates entirely off the grid—from lighting to cooling—making it a rare example of sustainable retail on the Cumberland Plateau.

This week’s inventory includes pasture-raised eggs, summer squash, zucchini, cucumbers, eggplant, baby and full-sized beets, Swiss chard, kale, and fresh herbs like dill, mint, and cilantro. 🥒 The store also stocks fresh-baked sourdough loaves and organic chocolate chip cookies made on-site.

Beyond produce, shoppers will find a curated selection of apothecary items and local maker goods. 🧴 Shelves are stocked with fire cider, tallow lotion, bug spray, lip balm, soaps, jams, hot sauces, and tinctures from regional producers.

Hours: 📍 Friday 3 p.m.–dusk, Saturday 9 a.m.–dusk, Sunday 9 a.m.–dusk. The farm is located at 418 Alexander Road, Pikeville, TN.
