When you go to a restaurant its a very easy thing to review. I mean it's pretty simple, The food was good, the service sucked, etc..... Now when I sat down to write this review I had to think long and hard about everything I wanted say to make sure that I covered every aspect of the farm and what they do there. So here goes....
This is a locally owned and operated farm run by Jonathan and Judith, which are two of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to come across. They offer a wide range of goods depending on the season. They sell chickens which are borderline small turkeys a couple of times of year that have been fed with certified organic grain. You can buy fresh farm eggs and they offer all natural grass fed beef with no hormones. Also they are in the process of offering honey.
The great thing about this place is number one the products are top notch and if you try live a healthy lifestyle their meat and eggs can't be beat. Number two is the way they go about running their business. Jonathan was just awarded "Conservation Farmer of the year" for the mid state. Everything they do is very "Green" from the use of solar panels to run their irrigation pumps to using natural springs to water the animals.
They are also very involved with local farm coalitions which try to promote success and continuation of family owned farms. Their dedication and efforts toward this cause is very commendable. I have actually had a chance to go and take a tour of the farm and see some of day to day operations. The work that goes into running a small farm is overwhelming. Talking to Jonathan about all his efforts was impressive though just because of the joy he gets from this. You can just tell when someone actually loves what they do.
So if you are looking for some chicken, beef or even some eggs, I highly recommend this farm. The whole point of Yelp is spreading the word about great places and the majority of it's members do their best to support locally owned bussinesses and I can't think of a better one to get behind.
Take the short drive from Nashville to Joelton even if it's just to visit the farm. I know from first hand experience your kids will love getting to see the animals, you will enjoy getting a tour and learning about farm life and the process behind rasing organic beef.
Trust me on this, you will not find better tasting meat or meat thats better for you around anywhere! Tell them you are from Yelp for a special discount and tell them I sent you. Better yet you might want to forget that I sent you. They might charge you double! read more
