On Saturday's, for only $12 a person, the farm is open to anyone who would like a guided tour (starts at 11am) or who just wants to come pet baby goats! We spent 3 hours here! Dustin took us all over the farm to see the cows, pigs, chickens, and of course the goats! We learned all about the process of making goat dairy and goat dairy products. After you park, you check in under the big pavilion. It's nice and shady up there with plenty of tables and seating. This is a family business. Even the kids are involved! It really made us feel welcomed. The goat cheese itself was delish! You can purchase cheese to take home and it was the best on-the-road snack I could have chosen! Support local. Support families. Play with goats!

I ended up buying three spices here including Franklin Five Points Spice, Smoky Mountain Sprinkle, and Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Seasoning. I sampled each at the store and they really tasted delightful. I can't wait to try them at home. Time for some cookin'!! I highly recommend this business when in Franklin.

This spice store is absolutely lovely and you could spend forever in here, perusing the offerings. I appreciate that they have containers out for you to sniff the spices. Staff was friendly.

I highly recommend stopping in to see what you can find.

This shoulda-coulda-woulda been a 5-star review, but you can see that my rating is only 3. Let's…read morebreak it down using the following criteria: Location. Product. Convenience. Service. Backstory of sorts: We've enjoyed Olivia Olive Oil products for the past several years...but have never ordered or purchased in person. We've been fortunate in having been gifted many bottles over time, and we have enjoyed all of them. Location: Currently on Cool Springs Blvd...BUT as I found out yesterday, they are in the process of moving to downtown Franklin. That should bode well for walk-ins and increased visibility. Product: As mentioned above, they have an excellent - if not superior - selection of EVOO, Flavored Olive Oils, Vinegars, Dip bases, Mixes, and more. (Check their website.) Convenience: Walk-ins are welcome. Stop by and taste before you buy. You can also order online...BUT this is where the stars begin to fall. I ordered online over a week ago and my Credit Card was promptly charged. I received an acknowledgment that my order had been placed and then...silence. I called a day later, assuming that I could stop by the store to pick up my order. (I chose "pick up" rather than "local delivery" to avoid the $10 delivery fee (just under 6 miles - so easy trip). When I called, I spoke to a clerk who said she did not have access to the computer so she could not check my order. I said I'd check back in a day or so. And, still no email acknowledgment or other message that my order was ready for pick up...so maybe my fault? After two more unsuccessful phone calls and nearly a week later I decided to drive to the store. Walked in (with my mask on...after all, that is the local modus operandi for businesses following the "Tennessee Pledge" for business re-openings in this current health "atmosphere.") BUT I did not see a TN Pledge poster on the door...went in anyway. No one in sight so I called out a greeting and was greeted in-turn by a person who...once again, could not access my order, was confused by my request...and then I showed her the confirmation on my phone...the order detail. She promptly called the owner since my order was not available at the store...and they had already moved all the size bottles I had ordered to the new location. After some verbal back and forth it was finally decided that they would deliver my order to my home. And, indeed, it was delivered early evening ... with a brief verbal "thank you for your order"...(no mask ..., well, I wore one). I want to support local businesses; and I will do that whenever I can. The issue here is no follow up on an order that was placed according to their website instructions, no access to information over the phone or in person regarding my order; yes, they are changing locations, but there was no indication of that on their website or posted that I could see. And the cavalier attitude about otherwise generally-followed by local businesses Covid guidelines. #disappointing A brief and polite thank you note plus a small packet of Mediterranean dip mix...was included but no..."I'm sorry about the mix up or delay or..." And no charge for the delivery...this time. In this difficult time for everyone, especially business that are struggling and individuals who are more susceptible or vulnerable, it would be nice to see that common courtesy is still alive and well. Yes, I do recommend this business...and I likely will be back. But they need to do just a little bit more to earn all five stars.

I chose your shop first because I read your store had the upscale selections of infused olive oil and vinegar that I love. Last Saturday (8/3) morning, I entered your shop eager to start my day. As I entered the shop with my husband, there was a woman behind the counter. She looked up at me and I told her it was my first time in Franklin and I had chose this shop to start my day. (I was wearing black capris and a black shirt that had "celebrating My birthday shirt in Franklin", with a round button pin "it's my birthday ". She was looking at me like I needed a bath or smelled bad. Her only response in a condescending tone was "Is it really your birthday or you just wearing the shirt?". I said it was my birthday and I was celebrating it in Franklin. She did not respond. I approached the counter and saw a paper with my options. I told her I was looking for garlic or basil infused olive oil. Without changing the look on her face or her tone she asked what size? I told her the smaller size. She reached from behind the counter and placed a bottle of basil and bottle of garlic olive oil on the counter looking impatient. Since I was out of garlic EVOO that I had bought in Helen Ga. I purchased only that bottle. I asked her name as she bagged my oil. Her name was Jennifer. I told her my name was sherryl and I was happy you had my olive oil. ...... silence as we left the store. I was not welcomed, wished a good day, or even given basic store etiquette, instead I was made to feel I was a bother, and definitely not a welcomed patron. I have enjoyed the olive oil and your product is delicious. But the experience with Jennifer attempted to spoil my day and birthday. However it did not. Our next stop was the Coffee shop and ended up at Cork and Cow. Every encounter after we left your shop was positive and welcoming. We had a fabulous day in spite of how it started. I am a CVICU charge nurse in a local hospital and I counsel employees on appropriate communications with our clients and their families. I recommend Jennifer understand every person is of worth and you communicate more by what you don't say than what you do. A disappointed patron, Sherryl Isley Hooks RN

As a milk purist, it's a perversion of the simplicity and purity of fresh, delicious milk. All that changed when someone convinced me to try the chocolate milk at the Hatcher Dairy. WOW!!!!!!!!!! They said it would be amazing, they said it would be perfection, they said I would get addicted. They were right!!!! I don't even really like chocolate itself (I know, I'm the only human being who has ever said this). Unless it's white chocolate, or mixed with a lot of other ingredients, it's too strong and bitter for my taste. But despite my distaste for chocolate, this chocolate milk is so amazing that I think about it daily!!! I don't know what they put in it, but this is certainly the best chocolate milk in the world!!!

I have popped into this location many times over the years, sometimes for full shopping experiences, other times for a quick lunch and on occasion, for an Amazon return. Each visit is fairly effortless and stress-free. The only part that can be slightly painful is parking, and getting in and out of the place...this complex is very busy! Service is always stellar whether on the floor, behind a counter or at the registers. Overall, while I am a Kroger loyalist, I make it point to swing by this Whole Foods anytime I need...or want!

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.
