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!

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!
