Tuesday, Oct. 12 happens to be National Farmer's Day, which is when we honor those responsible for growing a majority of our nation's produce. And since TikTok has such an extensive farmer community, we're celebrating the annual holiday by highlighting a few of our favorite farmer accounts. Not only do these creators' videos give viewers an inside look into the day-to-day lives of someone in the agricultural industry, but they also provide education on the ins and outs of sustainable farming.

And if you happen to be in or around the the Atlanta area, definitely keep a look out for his stand at local farmers markets — he seems to love nothing more than working there on the weekends.

@fuller_garden

Papa Fuller (@fuller_garden) is an organic vegetable gardener who lives in Texas. It's unclear if tending to his tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants is his full-time job or if it's just a hobby, but either way, his garden is incredibly impressive. Many of Fuller's vegetables are grown hydroponically, which means they're grown in water, sand, or gravel instead of soil, to conserve water, and sometimes, he takes videos of the pickling process, which is definitely cool if you're into that.
