My son and daughter-in-law just got married here last weekend. We were absolutely shocked at the…read morecondition of the facilities, especially the barn. They have been doing renovations which included sprayed white insulation on every interior wall and the ceiling of the barn. 2 weeks prior my daughter-in-law did a walk-through of the barn and the owner assured her that all of the walls and ceilings would be finished and that the venue would look beautiful. My poor daughter-in-law was i absolute tears when she walked in for the rehearsal the night before and noticed that the entire facility was still completely undone. The interior still had over sprayed chunky insulation on the interior. Nothing had been touched or been finished like she was promised. It looked absolutely terrible. She asked the owner if it would be finished that evening and the owner dismissed her by only replying NO and then rushed out without any other discussion. Her bridesmaids had to rush out to Michaels to find some fabric and bunting to cover an entire corner of the room because it was so unsightly. Also, the bridal suite was filthy dirty including a disgustingly dirty toilet. The room that had all of the decor and chairs and things were covered in an inch of dust and the chairs that we needed to use for the bride and grooms table were covered in black mold. The air conditioning was also not working due to the renovations. I would NEVER recommend this venue to anyone. They should be ashamed for tarnishing what should have been the happiest day of their lives. This was honestly a case of fraud. The venue that they saw in the day they contracted with them was NOT the venue that they had on the day of the wedding

I know that nature is in charge, but this was the day that the strawberries were at their peak. We could have bought pre picked berries but we chose to pick our own. What an excellent rest stop. They even had a portapotty. These are so sweet and ripe throughout. More types of berries are coming with the seasons. Families with young children were having a great time. Hope this enterprise continued success.

Can't recommend this farm enough! I've always grown up picking blackberries in Alabama, so I was…read morelooking for a new place to pick up here. I've definitely found my new go-to spot! The fields are well organized/maintained and easy to walk through. There was plenty of space to not run into anyone else while you were filling up your bucket. Also you don't have to pay to get in to pick the berries which is a huge perk! I'll definitely be back to pick more or get some blueberries next time.

Wifey, doggy and I wanted to get out of town so we decided to drive the back roads to Adams Tn. Shade Tree Farm had plenty of loose apples in addition to cider, donuts, fried pies, jams/jellies and small lunch menu. We purchased all the important things which were excellent, ice cold cider and very fresh donuts. We tried the vegi soup and white beans and corn bread and it makes a good light lunch. There are picnic tables outside and a play area for the kids. Prices were very reasonable and all the folks working here were helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend shady Tree for a nice weekend diversion!

Went here for a field trip with my daughter's school. Towards the end of the trip, the class was…read moreoffered a tractor ride by an older gentleman. He verbally berated parents. There appeared to be confusion as to how to get properly seated as directions from school and him were conflicting. For instance, he kept saying scoot to the front and parents and children kept moving closer but he actually wanted you to move to the middle of the trailer. Since we were asked to sit with our own children this was separating families. Again, minor confusion but his directives were aggressive. I personally have a hearing problem and turned towards him to listen to further directions and he asked if I "had a problem". This is a school field trip!!! I respect my elders and feel no need to be rude or cause a scene in front of of kindergarteners and their family. I've been to this farm during the blueberry festival and now this trip. Certainly will NEVER come again. I'm all for supporting local businesses and the educational benefit from this trip but I wI'll not spend my money to support this farm. My hope is this business reads this and reevaluates their interaction with the public. Certainly the older gentleman. It definitely put a damper on a otherwise fine day.

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.

It wasn't really giving festival vibes. It was really just the regular shop with honey themed products and honey sampling. I wish they had a few more vendors or live music or something of that nature available for the adults. I did try the donuts... when I say yum I mean delicious. I had a peach cider donut and a honey glazed donut. Out of the whole the honey glazed was the best. All in all a cut experience and a nice place to chill. I just expected quite a bit more
