KNOXVILLE – Along Crooked Gap Road, just outside Knoxville, a young family is operating a unique livestock farm.
Eight years ago, health concerns and a need for change led Ethan Book, his wife, and five children to abandon city life for a 40-acre farm outside Knoxville.
The family runs Crooked Gap Farm – a specialty, pasture-based farm – where they raise heritage and rare breed meats. Among their free-range livestock, you can find cattle, sheep, chickens, and pigs.
The pigs are a prized Iowa breed. Book said, “We love our livestock to have a story, and it’s cool having Iowa pigs; being that we’re Iowa people through and through.”
