When it comes to Tennessee farmland, you may attribute our southern agricultural economy to cotton, but how often does our lush homeland conjure up images of apples and peaches? Well, thankfully, there are quite a few stunning orchards and lovely farms that do just that. If you’re located in Middle Tennessee, might we suggest taking the family out to Morning Glory Orchard? It’s a beautiful place straight from the past, and well worth a journey in real time.
Morning Glory Orchard is a second-generation family farm located in the heart of the mid-state. It's where you can visit for an experience that hearkens back to the past and view a working farm that provides local shops and businesses with fresh product.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Morning Glory Orchard is not a public u-pick experience. Nope, this sweet family has done all the work for you! You can experience the beauty of the landscape, which includes mature and baby trees, as well as all sorts of farm offerings.

Gala apples, for example, are incredibly popular amongst visitors. You can also stock up on freshly made jams and preserves, farm fresh brown eggs, honey and peaches.
