A beautiful day that’s giving us whispers of spring! Blackberry pruning is on this week’s agenda while the fields are too saturated from all the rainfall. Maybe this will be our blackberry year since we won’t be consumed by the strawberries that don’t exist on our farm this year. 🤞trimming, weeding, finding the “daughters” to propagate. This crew has been working hard for the future! 🙌💪👏👏👏

The seedling babies are growing! Flowers, leafy greens, tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers.

As y’all can see, we don’t use plastic cells for seeding, which makes transplanting a whole@lot easier and keeps the plants’ roots from getting root bound. We use OM2 as our soil medium and then a soil blocker from in our shallow seeding trays from Deerfield in KY.

Another farm fresh delivery to we should have more carrots, sweet potatoes, and garlic, but this is the last of the head lettuce for a while. Enjoy!

Stats class from at the farm measuring germination rate of our seedlings. 🌱 Then they conducted an experiment of their own using different soil types to measure the effectiveness of germination on marigolds. I know, y’all are on the edge of your seats now! You’ll just have to keep your eyeballs 👀 open for the update… in a week or so. 🤣

Love it when teachers get creative with their learning!!! Go Miss Briley!!! 🙌

Did you know that we stock our veggies at a local store? Visit for some locally grown veggies along with other goodies like bulk seeds and nuts, unique dry beverage options, alternative dairy options, healthy body care, and more! It looks like a bookstore when you walk in, but keep making your way to the back to stock your kitchens.

Girl Power! These ladies showed up for work today ready to work! Clearing out debris from old crops and harvesting carrots for your tables. It’s a little chilly out, but as you can see it’s pretty warm in the tunnel because all of the sunshine out! We can hear the snow melting and sliding off of other tunnels. A beautiful winter day here!

Frozen Soil

This is what happens every winter as the soil gets saturated with our “warm” winter rainfall, then the temps drop and freeze that water in the soil making these beautiful soil structures.

“What are we working on today, Farmer Jenni?!”

This is the beautiful question I get from one of the Kindergartners during each visit. Then as I say, “let’s go harvest some okra” (which is easily twice as tall as the kiddos) or “let’s go haul some sandbags” he and then a number of other kiddos are all in!

The beauty of having the kiddos at the farm is their willingness and desire to be part of the farm’s operation. They believe they can do anything! Of course there’s still mud kitchen play, which is incredibly important as the kiddos learn to work together and communicate with one another, however the farm gives the flexibility for the kiddos to go explore and learn in non-traditional ways.

Curiosity is a wonderful skill!

Just some of the veggies that we’ll have at market this afternoon.

Spot the difference!

While these two cut greens look very similar and both are from the brassicacea family, they are a bit different in flavor from one another. These will both be highlighted at our farm stand on Monday and at market on Tuesday.

Great additions to your fall salads. Absolutely delicious with some roasted winter squash or sweet potatoes, roasted garbanzo beans and seeds. Of course you can throw them into your cold salads too and boost up your salad’s nutritional value!

Greens in the Ironman Kale Mix: Lacinato, Red Russian, and Curly Kale varieties

Greens in the Hotshot Mix: mizuna, mustard greens, tatsoi varieties

Tot Morning at the farm is coming up! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 6th & December 4th from 8-11am.

We have the mud kitchen open along with some nature books, magnet tiles, and usually a surprise activity. This is a parent/guardian led time to explore, play, and find community in the garden.

When you’re in the middle of harvesting squash blossoms for market and realize that there’s someone else harvesting pollen too! 🐝 so… what else can you do but take a video… creation is so stinking cool!🤩

We hit the ground running! The inaugural BCS pass! We couldn’t be more stoked. @bcs_america

Having to hold hot water to feel my fingers again☺️, welcome to winter.

Love the look of these Schwarzer radishes. Such a vibe for the new year, all glam!

Some dried flower fun coming to @eastnashvillefarmersmarket today 3-6.

Washing radish lesson. 🤣

Sometimes we laugh so we don’t cry. Just a little humble brag on our grass growing abilities, no biggie. #farmerfail #weedingfail #stayhumble

Look at this heirloom beauty! 🤣 so wild!

Arugula coming at you! @eastnashvillefarmersmarket

Rooted in God, Growing for Good

The Madison Farm is tucked away in Neelys Bend of Madison, just north of Nashville. The Madison Farm is a reboot of the original that was founded in 1904 on 440 acres that was Madison College, and is today Madison Academy.

Shannon and Jenni are the Farm Managers of The Madison Farm; in collaboration with two students, Kendra and Patrick, are spearheading this agriculture revolution for our schools and community.

The purpose of The Madison Farm is to revolutionize holistic learning and service through year-round biointensive farming. We plan to do this by empowering people to live a life of intention by integrating education with agriculture. It is our goal to develop practical skills in students, while enhancing the Madison area by providing opportunities for healthy-living education, community outreach, and sustainable initiatives. We are Rooted in God and Growing for Good.
