Gentry's Farm is such a fun fall activity for the kids. We've visited a couple of times as a family…read moreand this year my daughter had a field trip here. All were great experiences. Parking is free in a grassy field. Depending on arrival time it may be a short walk to the entrance. They offer wagons to help get pumpkins to the car at the end. The field trip here exceeded my expectations. It was educational and fun for the kids. The kids arrived and had their sack lunches at the picnic tables. A farm guide led our group to the different areas. I loved that every area started as educational. It was the perfect amount of time to keep the interest of first graders. Then the kids would get to play and burn off energy for 10-15 minutes before the next section. We went on a wagon ride and the kids were able to pick pumpkins from a patch to take home. A highlight for my daughter was watching the cows eat pumpkins. I just loved how the farm structured the field trip. The farm is open to the public on weekends in September and October. Check their Instagram for the specific weekends and times. This is a family/kid centered fall activity. They have animals, mazes, playgrounds, and games spread out across the property. Come in walking shoes and spend a few hours playing with the kids. At the front of the property they have pumpkins of all sizes and colors. The pricing is reasonable on what they offer. A small concession stand offers water, soda, and packaged snacks. The only thing that would make the fall experience here more fun would be some fall foods. Maybe a collaboration or food trucks on site with donuts, coffee, or ciders. Admission is reasonably priced for all of the activities they offer. All activities offered are included in the admission fee. Seniors and kids under a certain age (I believe two years) are free. A trip to Gentry's Farm is a fall must do for our family.

Fun outdoor activities for the infant to maybe 7 year old age group. I had family in town and…read morewanted somewhere to tire out a 2 and 5 year old for at least half a day, and this fit the bill. Nashville has an incredibly low number of toddler friendly half and full day activities, and this is one of the rare ones that is incredibly toddler friendly, but not super far away. There's kind of a weirdly high amount of religious messaging everywhere, which made us kind of uncomfortable but the actual farm was awesome for the kids, so a bit of a double-edged sword. Free parking, free entry for seniors and under 2, and $13 per person for everyone else, so this is also one of the cheaper options in the area for an outing with kids. Located a 10 min drive outside of downtown Franklin, we were impressed by how well curated the 400-acre farm is for kids. There are a selection of caged farm animals (pigs, rabbits, cows, chickens, turkey, and pigeons) for kids to view and you can also see other animals like goats lounging in other fenced areas of the farm, and we even saw a turtle in the pond! There's a 4-acre corn maze for families, and older kids, and a hay bale maze for toddlers that were both quite fun. Theres some educational and fun troughs set up for wheat and corn (almost like a craft playpen of sorts) and some outdoor games scattered throughout the area (go fish, cornhole, tic tac toe boards, etc.). There's a tractor ride (free with your admission) that we really loved which takes you through some scenic spots on the farm where we got to see baby cows and a few historic buildings on the farm, dating back to even the late 1800s. There is a putt putt area we didn't check out, but it's an astounding amount of activities that could easily fill a day. They sell pumpkins for $8, but no options to pick your own here. (The pumpkins they have already picked are extremely picturesque. There are snacks (popcorn, drinks, etc) for purchase but you can also bring your own food (which we did) and there are picnic tables where you can have lunch. One drawback: no real restrooms. There are two areas of porta potties and hand sanitizer everywhere. They are some of the cleaner porta potties I have ever been to, but are still kinda gross to me. Overall, we really liked this spot if you can tolerate the bathroom situation and all the religious stuff everywhere. Open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (one of the only farms open on a Monday) primarily in September and October. Would do this again with my niece and nephew if they come next fall, but might get repetitive if you've been before recently.

The staff are the friendliest people and another reason I'm thankful to live in Spring Hill. I moved from Arkansas to middle Tennessee 10+ years ago. Putting down roots in Spring Hill has been the best thing for my family! It's clear that this family does this for community, not to make a buck. Whenever I went, you could go in, grab a small tub and head out to the field. I made sure to meticulously look for only what was ripe and ready. Then we came back to the barn and paid for our tubs. The place was clean, organized and they even gave my son a piece of candy for free! It definitely made us feel just like family!

So, a couple of late springs ago, I was eager to get out of the house. I thought that I knew what…read morestir crazy was (ha). The answer was soon (and so so much later) to come. When walking around the block was no longer sufficient to satisfy my 'getting out' needs, I... went online and bought my strawberries remotely. Fruit picking from April to October has always been something I've enjoyed about the area and knowing that that pastime was going to stay in the past, I pivoted -- as did the folks at Batey Farms. I've been north, south, west, and east in my search for fresh produce outside of Nashville. Surprising to me, I had yet to go to Batey Farms. I think I'd planned on going with a friend who lived in the area but we put it off thinking we had plenty of time to do it later. Oh, box of plagues and troubles that was opened lo so many years ago (at this point)... you never fail to disappoint and stress. So, I wanted strawberries. I wanted fresh strawberries. I didn't want to buy overpriced strawberries from the supermarket that were coated in pesticides. I didn't have a lot of choices. Many u-pick farms were shut down and discombobulated. Thankful that someone in the Batey family is a crafty zoomer (millennials are old/40s now; youth is new), they had a system in play. Go online. Pick the amount of berries you want. Pay. Arrange a pick-up time. Drive to the farm. Sit in queue. Verify your order with a number. Pop the trunk. Deliver berries. Leave. Granted, a lot of the fun of local produce is spending time outside and picking the best berries but some things can't be helped. I was just grateful that someone thought up a workable system. One caveat, though: the ordering system was/is a bit Mad Maxish. Berries sold out. Fast. Think of it as a berry version of trying to snag seats at the Bluebird. Don't wait until the last minute or think the first time out will satisfy your itch. Patience is definitely a virtue.; that and expert internet-fu. I ordered. I hit the road on a Sunday afternoon. I enjoyed a leisurely drive. I drove through a neighborhood. I arrived to orderly chaos. I gave my number. I popped the trunk. I got my berries. I left. Super efficient process. No (reasonable) complaints. I drove home and studied my berries. I had a fair amount of 'I would have picked these' berries so no (fair) complaints. There's nothing like the real thing but as we've learned -- and, are still learning -- to get through life one must pivot. Strawberries makes doing so all the sweeter. And, to be all the way truthful, if I could remotely pick my berries I think I might prefer this system. This year, we'll see if I can resume the hunt. If not, at least I know how to scratch my itch. Locally.

He was able to answer every question I had, and even offered me samples of a few different varieties (all of which I ended up purchasing). My top find from this visit was the Clothbound Cabot. This was already one of my favorite cheesemakers, but I loved being introduced to something a little different that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. Big thanks to the team at Grey's - I can't wait to come back and stock up on some more cheese soon!

If heaven had alpacas and yoga, it would look exactly like Coleman Valley Alpaca Farm…read more From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by sweeping views, warm-hearted humans, and the softest, sassiest alpacas to ever grace a yoga class. The owner and the entire crew were incredibly kind like "adopt-you-into-the-family" level kind. The alpacas were adorable and surprisingly social, but one stood out: Sadie. Sadie wasn't just an alpaca--she was a vibe. A fashion icon. A spiritual leader. A little too aware of how fabulous she was. Sadie was clearly operating on a higher frequency than the rest of us mere mortals. Also, let's talk about the supporting cast: The horse? Majestic. The two tiny donkeys? Cutest things on four hooves. I nearly left with one in my trunk (kidding... mostly). Everything--from the setting to the animals to the people--was above and beyond. Whether you're into yoga, animals, nature, or just want to meet an alpaca diva named Sadie, go. Just go. Your soul (and your Instagram) will thank you
