This entire experience was just awesome. First thing to note - they open at 10AM which is one of…read morethe earliest I could find. I wanted to go before the church crowd let out. You pull up and there is ample parking right outside the farm. We were greeted by one of the Wilson's children (added that nice family feel) where we purchased admission. $10- they take cash, card and Venmo. From there you have fresh kettle corn being cooked and bagged, and a nice size area to purchase pumpkins and other goodies. You can hop on the tractor and take a ride around some of the property or they also had a little 'train' for the kids - super cute. The corn maze is straight back from the entrance - it's huge and you can get lost - take note of the aerial photo at the entrance . When you come out, if you start to head back where you came, you'll see a wildflower path up ahead, was a nice stroll up through there, and wraps you back around to another pumpkin patch. That's where the 'action' takes place... cannon and slingshot action! Here you can pay for a slingshot or cannon experience; we did both. Slingshot was fun, mini pumpkins - $1 for 2 shots and you totally get that 'pull back far far far sitting on the ground experience' - loved it! The cannon - well- I loved the power in between my hands!! That sucker shot a NICE distance. This was $2/shot or $5 for 3. Well worth it!!! We didn't carry cash on us, so after grabbing a wagon/cart up front (there a few to use - or bring your own!) we grabbed a variety of pumpkins in the field - ghost, green, orange, etc... then we ended up paying for the cannon experience when we purchased the pumpkins. Things to note: Bathrooms on site, cards accepted, pumpkin patch, kettle corn, tractor rides, cannon and slingshot, corn maze, 'train' for the kids. I spotted some fire pits, might be able to use those as well, just ask! We spoke with Lynn (Mrs. Wilson) and learned all about the farm. She and her family really put their heart into this and you can tell. This farm has been in Mr. Wilson's family since the 1800s!! Cannot say enough good things about this Farm and how kind the entire Wilson family is. Bring the family, go with friends, fly solo - whatever, just do it!

Located in a beautiful valley between Wartrace and the Beech Grove exit on I-24, it's great for a day trip or even a half-day trip if time is limited. We visited during blueberry season. They have 3 container sizes depending on how many blueberries you think you will harvest. Then it's off to the 20+ rows of blueberry bushes to pick, eat, pick, and eat some more until you are full and ready to leave! You pay by the pound for what you have in your basket. Mrs. Potts was nice and easy to talk with. Oh, they have some homemade fruit and honey popsicles that are perfect for a summer day!

4.5 So, before…read morecoming to Valley Home Farm, I always thought early summer was peak strawberry season. Perhaps in other places it is. In Tennessee, if you want strawberries, you'd better come with your mom because those suckers are ready to be picked around early to mid-May. This is just one of the things I learned during my time at Valley Home Farm. Despite getting to the Farm about a week too late for strawberries, I was just in time for blackberries and blueberries. AND if I wanted strawberries that had been turned into such wonderful things as pies, cakes and jams, I was in luck as well. Let me back up. Wartrace is a not close to Nashville. You have to come here with intention. I'd been plotting to check out the farm as soon as I heard it was a berry-tropolis. So, one Sunday late morning, I finally got my act together, headed east on 24 and made my way into the country. I pulled up to a big white house, a country store and fields of berries so ripe/fresh, it was all I could smell once I exited the car. Yes. I was at the right place. I walked inside and proudly bellowed my plan to eat all the strawberries. I quickly exposed myself as a know-nothing city slicker. The owners politely disabused me of my notion and let me know what I was going to do: I was going to take some baskets, I was going to look for black and/or blueberries, I was to know which ones to pick by the following elements, and I would like it. If I had to have strawberries, i could plan better for next year or buy a cake. It all sounded reasonable. I headed out to the fields and ran into some other pickers. They gave me some great tips about where to go for the best berries and I set on my way. I hadn't been berry picking since I was a kid. My memories of doing so were of my parents picking berries and me sitting on the grass eating as many as I could stuff in my mouth. These were good memories and, now, being in the 'parent' role, it made me think about having kids of my own to watch gorge themselves on berries as I did the picking. One day. But, back to the business at hand: berry picking. Not only is it fun, it's mildly therapeutic. AND it's incredibly cheap. Two baskets of fresh-picked berries (of both kinds) amounted to an extremely fair price. I had the added satisfaction of knowing that I picked them and they were all berries I found attractive enough to want to put in my belly. To the surprise of everyone (including me), I passed on buying any strawberry ice cream, pies, cakes, or popsicles. I know! A.) I didn't think the frozen items would make it back to Nashville in one piece and B.) I was satisfied getting the healthy, fresh stuff. I didn't want to compromise my clean living that quickly. Being able to 'farm' like this is one of the reasons you live here. You should probably do it more often. I know I plan on doing so. P.S. Wild (fresh) blackberries are really bitter. Like, just thinking about them makes my mouth pucker. Who was the evil genius who made them part of the delicious berry pantheon of straw, blue and rasp? If you pick buckets of the things, have some recipes in mind to polish them off. Or, gift them to some know-nothing city slickers.

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.

A few things that is important to have a great day at the patch: 1. Bring Cash! There is no option to use a card. I didn't have cash when I arrived however another patron gladly offered to give me $20. The owner also offered to let me send a check. Very sweet! 2. Check Facebook for the times the patch is open. The owner opens the patch during specific intervals but it isn't always the same time each year because the owner wants to ensure the berries are ripe and delicious. Try the berries on each plant before you start picking a lot. She has different kinds of berries...some are sour and some are sweet. My daughter prefers the sour berries. The place was clean and wonderful and we left with stories the owner shared about her grandson and with messages of hope. I would absolutely recommend the Blueberry Patch to anyone!

She is the sweetest lady! I've been coming to pick berries for about 8 years now, and they open the farm about 4th of July, depending upon the rain received and if they are nice and plump yet. I've NEVER been disappointed! Make sure you either wear long sleeves and pants or bring your bug spray because this IS an outside farm, and bugs are plentiful this time of year. She sells them by the pound, it came out today to be about $4.85/lb. (which beats what you'd pay in the store for those brought in from Chili!) They are delicious and she encourages you to eat while you pick (they are pesticide-free grown) [how can you know if they are sweet if you don't pop a couple in your mouth??!!] Please support your local farms and I urge you to pick as fast as you can -- when these babies are gone (usually in 2-3 weeks), you'll have to wait until next year!

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.
