Summer and springtime offer a myriad of outdoor activities for families, from afternoons spent at the splash pad to early mornings wandering local farmers' markets. Nashville also has a series of locally owned farms in its greater vicinity, and Head's Farm in Cedar Hill, Tennessee boasts locally grown produce and a pick-your-own-strawberries experience on-site. If you have little ones excited to forage for their own afternoon snack, this Robertson County gem is worth a visit during the sunny seasons.
Head's Farm can be found just a spare five miles from the downtown square of historic Springfield, Tennessee. The Nashville-adjacent town is tight-knit and tidy, a small enclave that boasts one of the best local gems around. Head's Farm is owned by the Head family, and in 2009 the entire establishment began by selling pumpkins in their front yard.
Now, a full ten years later, Head's Farm sells everything from sweet corn to tomatoes! There is also a country store on-site that sells local meats, freshly gathered eggs, flowers, jams, jellies, and sauces. You will also find wrought iron and locally made products from the surrounding area.
Head's Farm operates a quality establishment, and the family loves selling produce both at community events and markets. Visitors are welcome as well, and you can enjoy homemade ice cream and lemonade when you come by. That’s true local hospitality!
In the springtime you can come by and pick your own strawberries! The fields are open for U-Pick mornings with your little ones, or you can visit and snag a basket of pre-picked berries. You can call ahead of time to verify time and availability, or you can check the Head's Farm Facebook page.
The farm does provide picking buckets, but you will want to bring a container to take your berries home with you. You don’t want your delicious haul to go rolling around on the floor! These berries are bright, perfectly sweet, and a gorgeous addition to any salads or meal. Or even just as a snack, too!
