Grandaddy’s Farm: Estill Springs, TN
Dates: Sept. 23 - Oct. 28
Grandaddy’s Farm has been run by the Dixon family since early 1951. From Charles Dixon in 1951 to current operators Andrew and Philip Dixon, the family tradition at Grandaddy’s is strong. Charles Dixon & his wife worked the land around their home and raised four children, all while Charles worked full time in hardware store in Decherd, Tennessee. Fast forward a few years and the Dixon brothers’ grandfather followed in his father’s footsteps: farming the land and working a full time job. Eventually, their grandfather decided that farming full time was the path he should take. Tradition held true and Andrew and Philip’s father eventually joined in on farming full time. The Dixon brothers, fourth generation farmers, have now taken their place as the farmers of Grandaddy’s land. The Dixon family has a vision to share the joys of farming, agriculture, and agritourism with their community. For the Dixon brothers, the memories made on the farm were too precious not to share with the community and their love of agriculture makes it easy to continue the tradition started by Charles 70 years prior. >>>more on the site!
Walden Pumpkin Farm: Smyrna, TN
Dates: September 21 - October 31
Walden Farm was purchased in 1986. It is nestled between the rolling hills of Rutherford and Williamson County. This 265 acre farm became the perfect place for the family to establish a homestead, and a place of serenity and harmony for the family to live and grow. Three generations of Walden’s live on the farm.
In 1999, the next chapter unfolded. A few rows of pumpkins were planted in the garden just for fun. We had no idea we’d be picking close to 500 pumpkins at harvest time. What were we going to do with all those pumpkins? Not knowing the answer, we picked them all and piled them up against the barn. The answer soon came as people pulled into the farm to inquire about buying a pumpkin. The idea was planted, and we knew the interest was definitely there. After much thought and planning, the family decided to grow more pumpkins and open the farm for the community to enjoy. >>>more on the site!
Breeden’s Orchard: Mt. Juliet, TN
Open: Wednesday to Saturday from September - October
Breeden’s Orchard is located about 30 minutes east of Nashville atop a hill in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Marynell and Tommy Breeden owned and operated the orchard for the first 45 years. They grew peaches and apples, held school trips, pressed cider and Miss Marynell fried and baked her pies. In the 2010 decade the orchard got to be a bit much for a man and wife in their 70’s to handle and keep up with. In December of 2017, the orchard ownership changed hands when the Dorfman family bought it. >>>more on the site!
