It's the Great Pumpkin!

ALLARDT — A massive pumpkin grown by a Hawkins County native has drawn accolades at two different festivals this harvest season. Michael Fields, who grew up in the Beech Creek community and currently resides in Fall Branch while still maintaining his family farm here, embarked on a special project this spring, to grow a champion pumpkin for the for the 100th anniversary of the Appalachian Fair, held this past August in Gray. He succeeded, creating what was named “Bubba The Giant Pumpkin.” He harvested a massive pumpkin that would have made Charlie Brown proud, taking it off the vine on Aug. 19 at a weight of 1,494 pounds according to a scale at Thompson Metal in Kingsport. Brown and his wife Tami displayed the pumpkin at the fair, and then preserved it by placing it in a cool basement until Saturday, Oct. 3, when it was taken to the Allardt Great Pumpkin Festival in Allardt, Tenn. This festival, which has been held in the Middle Tennessee town on the Cumberland Plateau since 1989, is a popular showdown for growers of champion pumpkins from across the nation. Anyone from any state is eligible to enter, and 13 entries were recorded in

These WNC farms survived Helene. Their next challenge is bigger

ASHEVILLE - Anna Littman remembers the mud first. Two to three feet of it filled the wash-and-pack shed at Littman's Ivy Creek Family Farm after Tropical Storm Helene tore through Barnardsville. Trees had fallen across hoop houses. Storage and irrigation sheds were flattened. Her bridge was broken. In some fields, holes carved by floodwaters were deep enough to reach her chest. At one point, Littman looked around the shed and saw a doctor, a physics professor and an electrical engineer holding shovels. No, it’s not the beginning of some pithy joke — it was the reality of a community digging a farm out from beneath the wreckage Helene left behind. “I was like, ‘Whoa, this is by far the most skilled volunteering I’ll ever have,’” she said. Two years later, the mud is gone , but the harder work remains. Across Western North Carolina, farmers who survived Helene are confronting a second phase of recovery that is less visible than washed-out fields and collapsed barns. Rebuilding a farm does not necessarily mean rebuilding a viable farm business. Producers are repairing soil, changing what they grow, searching for reliable buyers and confronting rising costs and shrinking access to agricultural land. Littman
