The Barn at Allenbrooke Farms is a local Nashville Wedding Venue as well.
"Community-Supported or Shared Agriculture" (CSA) is known as
"subscription farming." You buy a subscription from a local farmer the same way one would buy a subscription to Green Chef etc. Instead of receiving pre- washed/cut & farmed from how/who knows where, you receive a "share"
of fresh, local & organically grown fruit/vegetables. No supply chain shortages!
CSA's are a effective alternative to grocery stores & they allow you to support a local farmer in the process.
Some of the many benefits:
- You'll receive a weekly basket of fresh, local, organically grown produce.
- Many weeks we will have bouquets of fresh cut flowers.
- You will be buying food from a family that you know & trust, at a fraction of the cost of the grocery store chains....& NO recalls!
-You will have a great opportunity to introduce your family to the idea of knowing where & whom your food comes from, how it grows & you'll learn to eat with the current season.
- You will be helping not only your local economy, but a local family farm.
*Many of the varieties we grow are unique heirloom varieties that cannot be found in stores & you will have a say in what we grow!
Let us know what you like & want in your baskets & we will do what we can to make it happen.
