Back by popular demand, Scott’s Farms strawberries are now available for sale at select Food City locations.  These ripe, ready-to-eat strawberries are locally grown by Scott Farms, located in Unicoi County, TN and delivered directly to surrounding Food City locations daily, while supplies last.

The banks of the beautiful Nolichucky River provide an ideal growing ground for Scott Farm’s famous strawberries.
