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!

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.

3rd Grade Champs! This crew from came to the farm and ripped out the very last of our tomato plants. They even went after the T-posts… like the champs they are!

Not only did these kiddos do some hard work at the farm, but they also continued working on how to work together as a team, how to persevere in doing a difficult task, how to respect boundaries (like pull out the tomato plants, but not the pepper plants, which are right next to the tomatoes), and how to communicate respectfully. All of this while being outside in nature, which is so good for us! And exploring and observing creatures (like spiders and ants) at the farm.

Okay, so what is Tot Morning? - It’s a time when the farm is open to families to bring their little to come and explore the farm… for FREE! We have a mud kitchen for kiddos to play in, and other activities for kiddos to do, if they so choose. Also, you are encouraged to walk your kiddos around the farm and explore what’s new and different from the previous months.

Homeschooling? - You are welcome to use this open farm time to come explore the farm with your homeschool kiddos too!

Please note that this is a time for parent/guardian to help their kiddos explore and they are responsible for their kiddo(s). 😊

Excited to see y’all on Wednesday!

Green Tomatoes & 1st Grade

First grade came to the farm today and did a wonderful job gleaning green tomatoes! First grade parents… have fun making fried green tomatoes this week! Goodlettsville Farmers Market customers… your green tomatoes tomorrow are courtesy of 1st grade! They did a wonderful job!!!

Okay, so you may ask, what was the learning experience?
1) we learned about seed germination and observed different stages of growth at the farm
2) we tasted arugula! And touched on plant classifications, like those stinky brassicas that smell like farts when cooked (or rotting)
3) we learned how to persevere through dealing with uncomfortable things, like touching dirty plants to harvest the green tomatoes. This may seem like an easy task, but sometimes those tactile experiences are difficult if we’re not exposed to them on a regular basis.
4) we learned about sharing, cooperation, and problem solving
5) we got our hands DIRTY! It was glorious!!!

This classroom (the garden) is an unorthodox classroom, but it was our original classroom. Our hands and bodies were made to work. Our hands are the perfect tool for the garden and can do sooooo much work that needs to be done in the garden. AND WE GET TO BE A PART OF THAT WORK!

2nd Grade Fun at the Farm

Loved having these curious and adventurous kiddos at the farm today. 🙌 They picked green beans like nobody’s business! We wandered around the farm too, observing what’s changed since their last visit. Man are they observant! They even braved the mean ants at the farm, which was quite the adventure. 🤣 Lots of bean snacks occurred while we marked around the farm, which goes to prove that kiddos will eat veggies, especially those they’re invested in, like these that they picked!

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.
