EAT WITH

CONFIDENCE The healthiest foods come from the healthiest animals. That’s why all Grass Roots cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens and turkeys are raised outdoors on pastures that mimic their natural habitats. They have space to roam, graze, scratch and root the way nature intended.

Grass Roots Farmers’ Cooperative, which is supported by Heifer International, is owned by small-scale Arkansas farmers who care for their animals. So our meats are essentially delivered straight from our farms to your front door.

And all of our meats are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and hormoneand GMO-free, which means they are the natural choice for your family.

HOOP (HOUSE) DREAMS

I

Publisher Alan Leveritt discovers the benefits of summer hoop-house growing at India Blue Farm.

“I’VE BEEN GROWING HEIRLOOM TOMATOES FOR 25 YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER, EVER SEEN SUCH A CROP.”

t was the second week of June and the heirloom tomato plants in the field were just a few feet tall, sporting small green fruit and the first signs of leaf fungus. With the constant rain and humidity, my 19thand early 20th-century varieties were already showing their susceptibility to the onslaught of 21st-century disease.

Those 900 plants had gone into the field on April 15, but as an experiment I had also planted 100 of the same varieties on March 10 in an unheated hoop house adjacent to my field. It was early in the morning when I walked into the hoop house, basically an aluminum frame covered in plastic. Inside, many of the plants were over 7 feet high, not a yellow leaf in sight but covered in huge heirloom tomatoes. That morning I nearly panicked because one of the eight rows of tomatoes and their supports had collapsed under the weight of hundreds of pounds of fruit, falling onto the next row threatening a domino effect. My daughter and I tied ropes to the broken stakes, and with difficulty hauled them back vertical and stabilized them. I’ve been growing heirloom tomatoes for 25 years but have never, ever seen such a crop.

It has taken several seasons to learn how to grow under plastic, but it has practically turned me into a year-round grower. The USDA offers a program where they pay a significant portion of the cost of the hoop houses to help small farmers extend their season. Before this year’s experiment with tropical tomatoes, I had grown cool weather crops throughout the fall and winter in the houses, alternating between day neutral strawberries and butter head lettuces. Until now, the hoop houses had lain fallow during the heat of summer.

This year I had harvested all of the lettuces by the first of March. I rebuilt and fertilized the raised beds and laid new irrigation and black plastic. I planted the heirloom tomatoes a week later, gambling that the hoop house, along with floating row covers, would provide sufficient protection against our unpredictable but increasingly mild winters. We had a few freezing nights in March but the row covers and plastic did the job.

My original motivation was to get an early start on the tomatoes and get them to market before it was flooded, but the real payoff was the lack of fungus and disease. With no rain or overhead watering, the leaves remained pristine. Weekly sprays of copper fungicide were sufficient to protect the plants from the hoop house’s high humidity, and the plants thrived with the lack of rain. The plants put on so much foliage I began to worry I had too much nitrogen, but soon the fruit began to appear. It was then I realized we were nearly a month ahead of the insect and pest cycle, so I had heirlooms beginning to ripen in early-mid June with no insect pressure and no spraying.

A couple of weeks ago I planted another hundred heirlooms, this time Carbons, in my other hoop house for late fall production. The plastic provides obvious protection from temperatures, but I never appreciated the protection it offers from fungus. It has changed the way I farm and now I am looking forward to a good shot at fall and early winter tomatoes.

Growing an Urban Farm Community

W

hen you think “urban,” what comes to mind?

It’s probably not green spaces, poultry, lush gardens, or heaping baskets of fresh produce.

Yet that’s exactly what the urban farming movement is— urban spaces in which crops, usually produce, are grown.

Little Rock Urban Farming, owned and managed by Chris Hiryak, is just one of thousands of such farms scattered across the country.

Little Rock Urban Farming is located in a unique spot.

It backs up to Coleman Creek, which can flood when the weather is just right. Because of that, its value as a lot is minimal—unless you’re an urban farmer. Though they risk being washed out, it hasn’t happened yet. Luckily, Hiryak said, organic gardening is one of the most resilient ways to grow, so he’s not too worried.

His understanding of the property’s traits has developed over many years. “I’ve had a unique opportunity to live since I was 19 years old in the same home and transform the space here in the city over the course of about 15 years,” Hiryak said. His father originally owned the property, and Hiryak was able to lease it during college. He and his wife purchased it about a year ago.

Hiryak graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as a Donaghey Scholar. As a final project, he

did some research into Arkansas’s agricultural history.

“In Arkansas, almost everyone comes from some sort of agricultural background within just a few generations. That fascinated me.”

That fascination led to Hiryak applying and being accepted into LeadAR, a leadership program through the Division of Agriculture at the University of Arkansas.

During his year in the program, he lived in the Ozarks at a farm called Dripping Springs Garden, where he was immersed in growing, marketing and leadership training.

Hiryak soon realized that was the life he wanted, but in an urban space. “Urban because I love people. I’m very social. I love growing things, but I wanted to have a network of people I could interact with, and I like the convenience of living in a city.”

After returning to Little Rock and his home, Hiryak began Little Rock Urban Farming with hopes to educate as many people as possible about what it means to farm organically, without the issue becoming divisive. He perceived the farm as being a place to gather and exchange ideas as much as it would be a place to grow food.

Hiryak needed a place to market his produce to his immediate community, but there wasn’t yet a farmers market in the area. So, he and a group of other producers

(Left to right) The farm is carefully organized, allowing space for the simple beauty of cut flowers along with peppers, lettuce and other crops.

got together to begin the development of Hillcrest Farmers Market.

Instead of setting up a small display at several markets, Little Rock Urban Farming focuses on doing one large display in Hillcrest. “If you’ve got to get in a car and drive six hours to market after you’ve worked your tail off all week, it starts to break you down.”

The farm today is a lush, tightly organized space, and Hiryak himself says he is still amazed at how much food they’re able to produce. Of course, it’s taken nearly ten years for it to get to this point.

While he says it was pretty from the beginning, Hiryak is certain many people thought he was insane for the first few years. But, the timing worked out. There was national and even international interest that boomed right as the project was getting off the ground.

“We like to eat well, so we try to make friends with the people who make the best food.”

(Top to bottom) Microgreens are grown in a clean, weed-free substrate. Hiryak selects the best cucumbers for market.

Of course, interest doesn’t always equal acceptance. To facilitate good relationships with his neighbors, Hiryak acknowledges, “I’ve always made a point of reaching out to our neighbors, and thus far we’ve had really incredible feedback. We do go above and beyond to keep our farm very clean and tidy and neat. It’s stressful at times, but that’s why the neighborhood has allowed us to do what we’re doing, is because it does beautify it—and not all gardens do,” he said.

Hiryak is quick to point out that he likes being around people that get excited about food. That mutual excitement has allowed the farm to form strong relationships with the community, and that’s arguably what he’s most thrilled with. He hopes to leverage that goodwill they have in the community for intelligent political activism. He has friends planning to run for various offices and notes his plans to host a gathering during their campaign.

“I work hard all day, but I get to go out with friends at night or have them over and still be really engaged in the community. Food is the foundation, but there’s more to it than eating beets you grew in the backyard.”

Richard Tanner finds his niche for heirloom tomatoes and peppers at Tanner Farm

O

n a Tuesday morning in mid-July, Richard Tanner and his family are in the truck headed to Little Rock from Rison, where their farm is located. They’ve got 300 families and several restaurants expecting deliveries. In the next couple of weeks, Tanner Farm will take a break before gearing up for the fall tomato season. When I call, Tanner immediately launches into friendly conversation about the day’s plans, after first introducing me to the ladies in the vehicle: his wife, Mollie, who he calls the farm boss, and daughters, Julia and Reagan.

Tanner, like so many Arkansans, grew up in the garden. “I’ve been growing tomatoes all my life. I was my mom’s garden helper when I was a kid, but my family grew row crops.” His grandfather owned a plantation over in Mississippi, where Tanner remembers visiting and watching in amazement at the work they’d put into the several thousand acres. His uncle farmed down in Pine Bluff, right off the river.

After several years in construction and crop dusting, Tanner wanted work that would let him be close to home and his growing children. “I said, let’s just do what we know to do—start farming and sell it on the side of the road,” Tanner recalls. Soon, they met Steven Burrow, who quickly introduced them to Peter Brave. He credits both with helping guide them during their first years in business. “Peter Brave has taught us everything we know about heirloom tomatoes, just to tell you straight up. We owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude.”

18

ARKANSASFOODANDFARM.COM | SUMMER HARVEST 2017

Growing exclusively heirloom varieties on any kind of scale is rare enough, but, due to a grant from the USDA that pays for farmers to become certified organic, Tanner is also in the final phases of seeking organic certification for the north half of the farm. The rest of the land is in transition and will be converted over the next several years. “Between farmers that have helped us, the National Resources Conservation Service writing the conservation activity plan for us, and Peter teaching us what chefs are looking for in an heirloom tomato, that’s what’s guided us in this direction,” he said.

And Tanner is working to encourage other farmers to move to heirloom varieties as well, but notes they’re often wary due to disease that’s built up in the soil, as heirlooms are generally considered less disease tolerant.

This year for the first time, they were able to convince a farm they coordinate with for FarmBox2Family to plant ten thousand extra heirloom tomatoes. “He called me and said, ‘Richard, I’m absolutely amazed. We looked out in our field and half our market tomatoes were wiped out, but our Cherokee Purples are right there in the middle and they’re absolutely beautiful.’” Because of that success, Tanner believes there will be a stronger resurgence of heirlooms over the next few years.

As we talk, tomato varieties roll off Tanner’s tongue like they were his native language. “Black Krim, my favorite, Green Tiger, Bradley…” Occasionally, he pauses to ask his wife which tomato he’s thinking of. Though Mollie has only been involved since they married three years ago,

(Left to right) Tomatoes ripen on the vine. Tanner Farms grows a number of varieties rarely found in a store.

(Left to right) Tanner is excited to have added peppers to the lineup. He still finds time to grow other crops.

“WE’RE CHEF INSPIRED.” she already plays a key role in managing and working the farm. If a trial farmhand can’t keep up with her by the end of the first row, they’re asked to leave.

While tomatoes have been their main crop since the beginning, they’ve recently moved into peppers. Tanner says he enjoys eating them even more than tomatoes.

The next thing I know, he’s describing his favorite ways to cook them. Gouda stuffed, wrapped in bacon, and smoked on the grill? Yes, please.

As for what makes his peppers a cut above? Unlike peppers from the store, which Tanner calls either too bland or too hot, “The colors, flavor, they’re just better all the way around. We’ve got a lot of old Italian varieties like the Cortes, Marconis, a lot of poblano types of varying colors. We were really looking for a lot of thick walled frying-quality peppers.”

20

ARKANSASFOODANDFARM.COM | SUMMER HARVEST 2017

This spring, the family went to Missouri to pick up a couple of new greenhouses. Before leaving, they asked a family that works for them if they’d mind starting pepper seeds. Mollie, ever organized, left everything they’d need, including labels. When the Tanners returned home, they found all ten thousand trays planted—and every single one labeled “Peppers.”

Unfortunately, there are only subtle differences between many of these peppers; many of them are even shaped the same way. Telling them apart as they grow is nearly impossible.

The solution? Make lemonade. They’ve created what they call “Mollie’s Sweet & Heat,” a mystery mix of peppers that’s a surprise every time. It’s been so popular with chefs that they’re thinking of doing it again next year.

FARMERS MARKET FOOD SAFETY Summer is here, and Arkansas’ farmers markets are bursting with a plethora of delicious local produce, meat, dairy and prepared products. This smorgasbord is a delight to the senses, but care must be taken when transporting your goodies home from the market. Follow these food safety tips to ensure that your farmers market finds stay fresh and good— good practices makes for happy tummies: Before and after preparing fresh produce, wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water and soap.

Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water just before eating, cutting or cooking.

Refrigerate cut or peeled fruits and vegetables within two hours after preparation.

Bring an insulated bag or cooler with you to the market to keep meat cool on the way home.

Be sure to keep meat separate from your other purchases, so that the juices from raw meat (which may contain harmful bacteria) do not come in contact with produce and other foods.
