Nashville sits in the middle of its own hour, and unlike Memphis that hour doesn’t cross a state line in any direction you’d actually drive. Every farm on this page is in Tennessee. What changes is the county — Robertson to the north, Wilson east, Rutherford southeast, Williamson south — and the counties don’t grow the same things.
South of the city, in Williamson and Rutherford, is where the milk is: a cow dairy bottling its own, a goat creamery, and a raw herd share. North, up in Robertson, it’s berries and pastured meat. East at Lebanon one family has been farming the same ground since 1839. Pick your direction before you pick your Saturday.
Call first, or check their own page. Most of these places run on the crop or the season, not the calendar — two of them open only a few weeks a year, and one won’t post hours at all because the berries decide. Where a farm publishes hours we list them. Where it doesn’t, we say so instead of guessing.

Three farms on this page run pick-your-own, and all three are berries rather than tree fruit. Busy Bee Blueberry Patch up at Greenbrier grows six varieties of blueberry that ripen late June into July, with blackberries and wineberries behind them. Circle S Farms at Lebanon starts with strawberries in late April and follows with blueberries and blackberries into early August. Bloomsbury Farm at Smyrna offers u-pick alongside its Friday market and its CSA. Busy Bee has no published hours at all — the patch opens on the ripening, so call before you drive out.
Three dairies, and they sell three different ways. Whispering Willows Farm & Dairy at Thompson’s Station is the raw one — raw cow’s milk and cream through a herd share, and that share runs by waitlist, so you message the farm to get on it. Hatcher Family Dairy at College Grove bottles its own non-homogenized whole milk on the farm and sells it out of a store open six days a week. Noble Springs Dairy outside Franklin is a Grade A goat dairy and creamery — artisan cheeses, bottled goat milk, fudge and soap.
For pumpkins, two farms. Walden Pumpkin Farm at Smyrna is fall-only and posts a 2026 season of September 26 through October 31, Thursdays through Sundays, with a corn maze, hayrides and an animal barn. Gentry Farm outside Franklin opens to the public only a few days each fall for the patch and the wagon rides, and puts that year’s dates on its own site. For trees, Country Cove Christmas Tree Farm north of Murfreesboro opens November 22 and runs until the trees are gone, choose-and-cut and pre-cut, with a wreath and ornament shop beside the field. Circle S Farms lists trees in its own site navigation but had posted no season when we checked, so ask first.
If you raise it, grow it, milk it or cut it within about an hour of Nashville and you’re not on this page, that’s our mistake and we’d like to fix it. Free listing, your links, your words, gone the day you ask.
