Meet Steven Stedillie of Treehouse Family Farm
Steven has a degree in Botany. He said his journey here all started with a love of plants. His father raised cattle while he was growing up so his interest in farming started young. He grows a variety of cherry and heirloom tomatoes in a greenhouse. He grows them using a technique that will allow the vines to grow up to almost 80 feet long allowing them to get the most of the vine as he can. Steven's parents also help them on the farm, as well as his wife Lauren.
Steven has grown the summer squash medley that has been in many of your bags the past few weeks. He tries to focus on crops that he can flip over quickly. Tomatoes are his favorite thing to grow because they are the most challenging. He also loves growing cilantro because it is incredibly hard to grow in this area without it bolting. He sells to TRACTOR in addition to some restaurants in Asheville. When asked why he loved farming Steven said “For me it’s kind of a daily meditation, I just like that this is my job… this is fun for me, it makes me feel fulfilled.”
