Expectations for 2015, our 4th Season
Your farmers, Josh and Morgan Wright
We've been busy planting, excited to share more delicious bounty with you.
THIS YEAR EXPECT..
We so enjoy being a part of the TN valley food community. Thank you for your support as we grow as a farm and a family!
Looking forward to seeing you at market!!
THIS YEAR EXPECT..
- To see us at the Madison City Market. This will be our only market this year and we plan on attending with our honey, chicken, garlic and other crops as they ripen and become available. Market opens in April!
- More amazing pasture-raised poultry. We have been blessed in past years with great success with our chickens and we plan to raise close to 1000 this year! Order yours on our Products page!
- Lots and lots of garlic! We've been called 'the garlic people' in the past and hope to again live up to our name with more of our great family heirloom garlic offered to you at market.
We will not be at market every week, don't worry about us, we're most likely working on the farm. Being a young farm we still have several outbuildings that we need to build (honey house, equipment shed, ect.) and of course we want to invest in our most valuable crop, our children! As we can we will continue to share unusual greens, lots of garlic and garlic scapes, delicious heirloom tomatoes, peppers and tasty melons with you our friends and customers. It's gonna be a great year!

Eat Wright Farm is a Family Business!
Josh, Morgan, Owen and Autumn Wright
Josh, Morgan, Owen, Autumn and Isaac Wright. We're the crazies of the bunch, always with big ideas and often times too much ambition. Josh and I (Morgan) run the farm and sell at the markets but in no way stand alone in the work.
Jerry and Susan Wright (Josh's parents) live down the road and around the corner. They contribute to market from their own amazing garden and hen house, are our wise counsel, equipment loaners, babysitters, market help and so much more.
Brad, Caitie, Olivia, Elizabeth and Isiah Leiter. Caitie is Josh's sister. She and Brad live just a mile away and are never far from the activity on the farm. Brad helps weekly with the sheep and they all pitch in on big planting days. Caitie and Susan make the wonderful goats milk soap we feature at our booth. A brand (Dandelion Soapworks) that shows up in several small Huntsville shops and is soon to be available online at their new online store!
It takes all of us to make it work, truly a family business!

The Farm
The new Eat Wright Farm January 2012
In January of 2012 we were blessed to purchase a 6 acre hay field within walking distance from our home. We have 2 acres of woods and 4 acres of open ground that we've been diligently developing into a useful farm. In 2014 we took our first steps into permaculture, planting the farm in fruit trees, berry bushes and beneficial perennials! We hope to continue learning and establishing a healthy ecosystem farm that will provide fruit, food, and medicine as well as a habitat for many creatures and bugs. It's been encouraging to see life and diversity come back to the soil as we pasture our chickens and sheep. As of Spring 2014 our bees are finally housed on the farm! It's great to work with such tireless partners and a joy to have them in the garden with us.

Roots of a farm, the people who care for it...
Josh was raised in Madison, AL, in a subdivision surrounded by cotton fields. Susan loves to tell me stories of Josh's childhood.. how he tilled up their shady backyard and was determined to grow a garden, of his squirrel hunting escapades and the flock of ducks he raised that took over the back yard and provided the best fertilizer the grass had ever known. When Josh was 17 his family made a drastic life change and moved onto a piece of property in Limestone Co. where they set out to conquer the land, build their own cabin and grow all their own food. It was during that time that Josh gleaned most of his gardening know how and also when they first started selling at the Madison City Farmers Market in the warehouse in downtown Madison.
Currently, Josh works for the City of Huntsville as a firefighter. While he enjoys his job, his passion and heart is to farm! Growing things is fun and rewarding but it's also financially risky. The firefighter job and schedule gives him the flexibility to pursue his passion and security of reliably providing for our family! We're so thankful for this opportunity! |
(Morgan) A love for digging in the dirt started at a young age for me as well. My grandfather grew a beautiful vegetable garden every summer in Colorado, where I'm from. I have many fond memories of playing and eating, learning and helping in his garden. When I was in high school I longed for those sweet times and planted my first Alabama garden. My 'growing' hobby became a business at my father's prompting after I graduated high school and needed to 'find a job'. Thus, 'Glory Gardens!' came into being and I enjoyed two wonderful years cultivating the soil and selling the glorious bounty at the Madison City Farmers Market.
Josh and I were married in April 2010 (in a garden of course) and since have been blessed with three children! It's often a challenge growing the business and raising a family at the same time but also a joy knowing our little ones are close by and will be able to work alongside us as they grow. |
More than anything we have a passion to help YOU enjoy great health! We still have a LOT to learn and consider it an honor to be trusted with the growing of your food. If we can help you in any way, don't hesitate to contact us, we look forward to serving and getting to know you!
