Great seasonal farm store with fresh produce, the best eggs I've ever tasted, and other great items. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I also love that they host a seasonal farmer's market on Wednesday afternoons. Delvin Farms is an absolute treat! read more

Delvin Farms - Farmers Market Near Me - College Grove, Tennessee

See all

If it's late Spring in Middle Tennessee, that means it's strawberry season. I have frequented many of the u-pick farms in Middle Tennessee but I had never been to Delvin. What makes Delvin a key farm to patronize is that the strawberries are organic. Yes, please. So, I took advantage of a Saturday on which I was in town and made the pretty drive to College Grove. I arrived and saw a small building and a lot of cars so I knew I was in the right place. I went inside the building and said that I was here to pick some berries. The nice lady gave me two rectangular cartons, explained how the picking worked, pointed me in the right direction, and sent me on my way. It was a beautiful, clear day so the weather was perfect for picking. I must have picked (hyuck) the right time as the fields were pretty bare. Nice. It was late(r) in the season so the rows closest to the building were pretty bare but I am not new to the game. I know that people tend to be lazy so if you're willing to walk, you can score some good fruit. Sure enough, my walk was rewarded. I found row after row of succulent, deep red, fresh fruit. I was just getting started with filling my second carton when I noticed a gentleman running after a child (no biggie) with a LOOSE gun (like, jiggling) on his hip. Nope. No sir. One carton was going to have to do.* The idea of being on my own with a guy sporting an improperly holstered firearm took the magic of the day away. I made my way back to the building, paid for my ONE carton (very reasonable price), talked myself out of buying assorted jams and sweets, paid, smiled, and got in my car to drive back to Nashville. And, yes: the berries tasted as good as they looked. *This has nothing to do with the farm but it happened on the farm... which is located in Nashville... so, take that for what it is. read more

Excellent produce homegrown vegetables an fruit. The farmer's market is great! Super helpful and friendly!

After having driven by this place many times, we finally stopped today in search of a few tomatoes and peaches. What a treasure! Cindy explained to us the concept (organic and local). We readily found what we were looking for... and more: a jar of peach preserves that looked like canned sunshine, cucumber pickles, potatoes, peppers, Hatcher Dairy chocolate milk... and so on. I wondered how we had missed it and what others were saying about it, and was shocked to see only 6 reviews here (and some dating back years). I feel like this is the kind of place that everyone should know about and frequent. So I'm spreading the word. read more

We bought a bag of silver queen corn are favorite ingredient for Tennessee Fried Corn. Started the shucking process and found that only one of the ears was Silver Queen. Disappointed. I would not have bought peaches and cream at such a steep price . read more

I LOVE this farm! This is our first year to be a part of their CSA program and we're LOVING it! It's actually forced us to eat more veggies since I don't want to waste anything! Their strawberries are delish as well as everything else they grow! Plus, the owners and staff are wonderful! read more

Delvin Farms offers something I've been hearing about for a while: CSA. I always heard it stood for something like Community Sharing Association, but I was completely wrong: It's Community Supported Agriculture. However, it is kind of like having a share in a farm. You can purchase a share, which entitles you to a big box of varied produce from their farm every week from May to October. You don't have any control over what goes in there, but they try to provide as much variety as possible. What you receive depends entirely on the season, so as their website explains, you will probably receive spinach and strawberries in the spring, corn and tomatoes and melon in the summer and butternut squash and sweet potatoes in the fall. There's a movement lately not just to eat organic, but to become a Locavore, or someone who eats mostly local produce. We have become accustomed to getting whatever produce we want when we want it (I know I'm very guilty of this), but having a share in a CSA encourages you to get back to seasonal eating and planning recipes accordingly. The shares at first seemed expensive, and perhaps they are, but for about $20 a week, you could share a whole share with someone else and still have enough vegetables to last a whole week. I don't know if you've noticed lately, but buying vegetables at the grocery store is expensive. Delvin Farms are also certified organic, so you're getting a large amount of organic vegetables for a much cheaper price. You don't have to buy a share from them either: you can just go to their Nashville or Franklin pick-up locations and for $35, buy a whole box of assorted veggies. At the Franklin Farmers' Market, they were the only stall selling the whole boxes, and they sold like crazy. I was drawn to the idea because I have such a hard time picking when there's too much to choose from, and my friend and I decided it would just be much easier to pick up a box and see what we got. When we got home and divvied it out, we were surprised by how much they crammed in the box and what a variety there was. There were red peppers, green peppers, two different kinds of eggplant, potatoes, mustard greens, okra, three kinds of squash, chili peppers, and tomatoes (cherry and heirloom) and I've probably forgotten what else. I'm seriously thinking about investing in a share next year because I think it will make my culinary life more interesting and help me eat more healthy organic, in season food, plus I will be helping local farmers and the environment. Everyone wins. Some useful information: Delvin Farms is at the Franklin Farmers' Market every Saturday morning, at the Turnip Truck East Nashville Farmers' Market on Wednesday Evenings. There are a couple of other places to pick up on Wednesdays, including at their farm in College Grove (see website for details as these may change as the winter season approaches). read more

Delvin Farms - a man and a woman standing in front of a table full of vegetables - Farmers Market Near Me - College Grove, Tennessee

Great fresh and organic produce, kind and friendly staff, loved our CSA box we've received every other week this summer!

My wife and I did the Delvin CSA this past season (2011). Just having the two of us, we elected to go with the half-share. This was more than enough produce for our needs. The selection varies from season to season; if you patronize the Nashville Farmers Market (as we do), pick up one of the free food magazines lying around. There's a seasonality calendar that tells you when you'll find particular fruits and veggies at the market that comes in handy. Also, the Delvins usually get an email out on Thursday or Friday letting you know what's coming in your box on the weekend; chock full of recipes and also a farm newsletter, it comes in handy when meal-planning. I subtract a star for two reasons, as I am truly a fan of Delvin. One: I hope you LOVE greens. I am a huge fan of turnip greens, but the amount of Russian kale, collard greens, mustard greens, Swiss chard, and turnip greens we received throughout the season has led me to believe that Delvin specializes in greens. After awhile, they do start to wear on you. I learned nearly 50 new greens recipes over the course of the season, but you can only do so much with greens. Two: They told me they're probably not doing the Nashville Farmer's Market in the 2012 season. I understand the economics of their decision and don't fault them for it, but it does mean that I will no longer be able to be a member of their CSA, unless I drive a pretty good distance out of my way. Some pluses: One: Eggplant. I didn't know this many varieties of eggplant existed, let alone could be grown in Tennessee! They have several old-world eggplant varieties that are as delicious as they are beautiful. Two: Peppers. Delvin has an amazing variety of peppers. I recieved 4 different types of bell peppers, jalapenos, serranos, hungarian wax peppers and more. They don't come in quite the same quantity as the greens, but it borders on almost being too many. Thankfully I love to cook Cajun, Italian, and Mexican recipes that require a liberal amount of peppers. Three: Service. The Delvins are true Tennesseans; welcoming, friendly, dependable and generous, every interaction I've had with them has only served to reinforce my love for their farm, their produce and their family. The personal touches, like including extra shittake mushrooms in our box one week because my wife mentioned she loves mushrooms at a pickup once, really set them apart from most people. read more

(Disclosure: This first part is all about me. Be patient, the review part is coming) So.. after reading so many kind things people have said about our business - I have decided that I am seriously a "taker." Logging one whopping review in several years is kindda crazy. I mean, how can I not give back to the amazing Yelp community? Therefore, from this day on I have decided to share my thoughts about some of my favorite local businesses in Nashville. (who knows.. maybe I can become an Elite Yelper and have a cool Elite '13 by my name!! ::yay me!:: ) Spoiler alert: All of my reviews are going to be 5 stars (my thought is that if I don't like it - I won't share it at all... deal? ok. good) Therefore, without further ado... my very first Yelp Nashville 5 Star goes to ..... Delvin Farms. There are people that own businesses that have a really great product.. and that is it. I might buy it once or twice but I don't feel a sense of loyalty or connection. What sets the Delvins apart? First, their produce is such hugh quality. It is so beautiful, so fresh. I feel healthier just hanging around their farmer's market booth. Second, they are seriously nice people. Call me old-fashioned, but it inspires me to see multiple generations of a family working together to grow their business. Overall, excellent. Thanks Delvin Family! read more
