100 acre farm orchard. Come visit our property where you can experience life on a farm.

About the Farm:

We are located on 105 beautiful acres in Nashville, Tennessee. We operate with a relatively small group of people, all with big ideas. While we do stay relatively busy, our primary focus is our land. Our garden has everything from pears to beets to squash, all grown with no chemicals and with our own beehives nearby to help produce a bountiful harvest. Each seed planted and meal cooked inspires new spices to our product line to make our next meal, and yours, even better

We are currently in the process of remediating the farm. It is our hope, that through the sharing of knowledge and action, together we can co-create a more beautiful place.

We’ve come a long way, but we can still go FURTHER…
