Hyde Farms

Since 1978, that’s how long Mitchell Hyde has been in the farming business. He has been raising cattle and pigs, and growing and harvesting seasonal fruits and vegetables for over forty years. He is now farming over 1,500 acres! He is the owner and operator of the only facility in East Tennessee that handles every step of the process. There are others that raise them, some that do the processing, and still others who sell the meat, but here at Hyde Farms, we do it all! We started out with a farm stand in 2012 and in 2018, we began offering farm fresh and pork and beef. Since then, we have expanded our production, and in 2021, we completed construction of our 6,500 square foot, USDA processing plant, and retail store located on our farm in Greenback, TN. There are two teams that handle all the day-to-day responsibilities here at Hyde Farms. The Farm Team, and The Butchershop Team. The Farm Team is responsible for managing the several hundred animals that we raise on our farms. It consists of five employees that are tasked with animal health and handling, raising all our feed crops and building and maintaining structures, equipment, and miles upon miles of fencing. They take care of everything from planting to harvesting, and storage. The Butcher Shop Team has six team members and handle the daily butchering, processing, packing, and marketing both in Greenback, and in our satellite retail store in Athens, TN.
