This entire experience was just awesome. First thing to note - they open at 10AM which is one of…read morethe earliest I could find. I wanted to go before the church crowd let out. You pull up and there is ample parking right outside the farm. We were greeted by one of the Wilson's children (added that nice family feel) where we purchased admission. $10- they take cash, card and Venmo. From there you have fresh kettle corn being cooked and bagged, and a nice size area to purchase pumpkins and other goodies. You can hop on the tractor and take a ride around some of the property or they also had a little 'train' for the kids - super cute. The corn maze is straight back from the entrance - it's huge and you can get lost - take note of the aerial photo at the entrance . When you come out, if you start to head back where you came, you'll see a wildflower path up ahead, was a nice stroll up through there, and wraps you back around to another pumpkin patch. That's where the 'action' takes place... cannon and slingshot action! Here you can pay for a slingshot or cannon experience; we did both. Slingshot was fun, mini pumpkins - $1 for 2 shots and you totally get that 'pull back far far far sitting on the ground experience' - loved it! The cannon - well- I loved the power in between my hands!! That sucker shot a NICE distance. This was $2/shot or $5 for 3. Well worth it!!! We didn't carry cash on us, so after grabbing a wagon/cart up front (there a few to use - or bring your own!) we grabbed a variety of pumpkins in the field - ghost, green, orange, etc... then we ended up paying for the cannon experience when we purchased the pumpkins. Things to note: Bathrooms on site, cards accepted, pumpkin patch, kettle corn, tractor rides, cannon and slingshot, corn maze, 'train' for the kids. I spotted some fire pits, might be able to use those as well, just ask! We spoke with Lynn (Mrs. Wilson) and learned all about the farm. She and her family really put their heart into this and you can tell. This farm has been in Mr. Wilson's family since the 1800s!! Cannot say enough good things about this Farm and how kind the entire Wilson family is. Bring the family, go with friends, fly solo - whatever, just do it!

I love Duncan Farms!…read more I recently moved back to the area and was looking for a CSA or a place to get local eggs and produce. Searching around I found Duncan Farms and was also excited they offer a compost program, which I promptly signed up for in Huntsville (it's only $35/mo, they pick up your compost bucket once a week and they use it on the farm and give you store credits and freebies.) Why am I writing this review? Well, I decided to visit their little farm store recently and loved that I could get fresh veggies, farm made bacon (I'm vegetarian but felt good about buying locally from a place where they treat their livestock with respect), local honey, the most delicious small batch goat cheese that I've ever tasted, and more. Check out their website, sign up for a CSA and their compost program and you will feel good about giving back.

Buying a share from BBF was probably the best decision I made this past Spring. I was so excited to…read moredo it that I kept checking their website every day to find out when they were going to open the online payment option. My boyfriend and I went with the half-bushel for summer which we pick up every other week at the 12South Farmers Market. I love that they offer a payment plan, you commit to paying the whole price but they automatically deduct it from your bank account over a period of months to help split it up. We have not been disappointed with any delivery. The produce is ridiculously fresh and very clean. Another word that comes to mind is variety: kohlrabi, greens, beets, cauliflower, green beans, leaks, green onions, eggplants, kale, fresh herbs, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, rainbow chard, zucchini, hot peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, bok choy, lettuces, squash, garlic, and the best strawberries ever! We have friends who also get the 1/2 bushel on the opposite week to us and it's sooo much fun to compare and talk recipes. Our friends were able to go to the farm tour and said the farm itself is gorgeous. I guess they have a natural spring too which can make a big difference to how produce tastes, it's also all certified organic - Sweet! The family is very communicative via email about how things are going down on the farm, although this year has been a challenge for them since it's been so cool and wet, they let us know what's going on and they don't ever sound desperate or upset. That's what has been the most important thing to me, their honesty and communication. Some weeks our bushel is rather meek, but they make up for it the next week with extras. Their website is very descriptive and provides a lot of information about how CSAs work and how they run the farm. The older kids run the market table at 12South and they are sun kissed, beautiful and so friendly and welcoming. Seriously I feel like this families outlook, dedication, and warmth make the produce that much more wonderful! Can't wait to sign up for their Winter CSA soon!

There are limited options in Middle TN when looking for a great way to go local with your food…read moreshopping. I have been a CSA Member with Avalon Acres for 2.5 years now, and we have been very impressed with the variety, selection and most importantly, the quality of the food and the service. The summer CSA program which runs for about 6 months, provides a weekly bevy of fresh produce as a standard share, with the options of adding meat, eggs, baked goods, pastas, canned items, honey as you like. The produce is seasonal, of course, and you will see a rainbow of vegetables each week and throughout the season. It is a weekly surprise which broadens the meal planning horizons in our house. Some notable new vegetables we had the opportunity to try last summer- garlic scapes, icicle radishes, zebra tomatoes, rainbow swiss chard and more unusual and delicious greens than I can name. The meat options are chicken, beef and pork of all cuts, and while more expensive than your neighborhood grocery store, the taste and nutrition quality is superb because of the free range, pasture fed practices. The Winter CSA program provides a twice monthly delivery of winter produce- sweet potatoes, winter squashes, pumpkins- as well as canned, frozen produce from the previous season. Handmade pastas, jams, pickles and other goods round out the harvest package. You can also still get meat and eggs in the same variety as the summer program. Having the opportunity to meet Tim and Jennifer Bodnar, the proprietors of the Avalon Acres family of farmers was a great experience as well. They are passionate about healthy, quality food practices and really helping to support the farmers of middle TN by getting their goods to eager consumers. The farm blog and recipe blog offer ways to prepare the goods each week, and participants can offer their new creations as well. They host a day on the farm, near the end of the season, for a chance to meet farmers, see the animals, and learn and appreciate where your food is really coming from. We will continue to sign up every season.

The reason I like it is because it allows me to get a variety of fresh produce, eggs and meats on a weekly basis for a great price without having to schlep all the way to the Farmer's Market. As I like to cook, it also provides a challenge as you never know what you are going to get in your box. I always get excited when I get the box home and open it up - waiting to see what cool fruits and veggies I get and what I should do with them. Of course, it can be a drawback too, as you may get some produce that you may have a challenge in using before the next week. One awesome piece of advice a friend gave me was to process the contents as soon as it is opened, freeze or can whatever you aren't going to use immediately in that week's recipes - making freezer space or getting a standalone freezer is a must. I also found using a CSA was very helpful when it came to making fresh baby food for our son when he was a peanut. They grow their veggies using sustainable practices and there is no middle-man, it comes straight from the farm to your house. They actually supply produce, meats and eggs to local high-end restaurants all over town. The eggs come from free-range chickens, they actually faced a big hit when the floods hit back in May 2010. Their meats primarily come from Amish producers, they are free of antibiotics, hormones and artificial ingredients in the production of their meat products. By supporting this CSA, you're helping to support 40 small family farms around TN. The people that run it are very nice and friendly; I strongly encourage you to make friends with the delivery driver. They will let you know the 'inside scoop' on what is new that week. Far too many people at my dropoff in Belle Meade are a bunch of rude, affluent yuppies who can't be bothered to speak to 'the help' when they make their pickups - stay on the cell phone the whole time and throw the drivers their money without even making eye contact... Every Friday they send out an email blast that lets you choose additional items that are seasonal specials, like canned goods, honey, preserves, meats and sausages. They also let you customize your package if you eschew certain foods like eggs or specific meat products. Also during the fall, you can opt in to get some amazing turkeys - some of the best turkeys I've ever made. The pricing is excellent and varied, for example, we get 1/4 bushel of assorted produce, dozen eggs, and a meat portion (could be ground beef, chicken thighs/legs, short ribs, whole chickens, steaks) for $34.50. Not bad! You also get a deal up front if you pay for the year in advance; but despite the way you pay, you are signing up to pick up every week, regardless of whether or not you will be in town. I once went to a tasting dinner where Alan Benton, the greatest producer of quality bacon, once told everyone that all of the pigs that he sourced roamed free and ate great-quality feed; not because he gave a damn about the pigs, but treating livestock well resulted in a higher-quality product. That sums up my feelings on Avalon Acres.
