Practices

Bells Bend Farms is rooted in regenerative farming, focusing on sustainable methods that exclude chemicals. They prioritize building fertile soil, employing techniques like cover cropping and applying home-made compost. While not USDA Certified Organic, their organic-like practices ensure the healthiest produce reaches their community.

Offerings

Bells Bend Farms operates a robust Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, providing subscribers with either full 28-week or half 14-week shares of fresh, seasonal produce from mid-May to late November. They also offer a Summer Flower CSA, where members can enjoy fresh, vase-ready blooms. In addition, the farm store supplies a variety of goods: organically grown produce, grass-fed yogurt, pasture-raised meats, and locally sourced artisan products.

Visiting and Events

Located at 5194 Old Hickory Blvd in Nashville, Bells Bend Farms doubles as an event venue amidst serene landscapes. They offer unique spaces for DIY weddings, corporate gatherings, and educational workshops. Regular events like yoga sessions, guided farm walks, and creative workshops foster a deeper connection with the land and community.

How to Buy

Subscribers of the CSA program pick up their shares at designated locations weekly. For those interested in trying other farm goodies, the farm store is a warm gathering spot for fresh local goods. Transparency is a cornerstone, as visitors are encouraged to see the farming practices firsthand.
