Lost Weekend Farms

Lost Weekend Farms, what began as a snarky reference to how we typically spend our spare time, is a collection of fields and a small orchard and vineyard nestled in Neely's Bend, just north east of Nashville. As we've always enjoyed being connected to tradition and heritage by growing, picking and preserving, our semi-urban farm has become our outlet for exploring seasonal eating, biodiversity, politics, and environmental health. We each grew up around backyard orchards and gardens and have been producing for ourselves and friends for 15 years before our ambition outpaced our growing space (yard). Now we are reviving some of the area's best growing land that has been farmed by family on and off for the better part of a century. We are committed to natural growing methods and reintroducing older open-pollinated crops that have roots in Tennessee or adjacent regions. Look for us at Nashville area farmers markets. We are bringing many types of fresh produce and farm products to market as well as cornmeal and dried beans. Certified organic means a farm meets a minimum standard for sustainable "green" growing operations. We do grow all of our products to meet that standard of operation. At this time we have not obtained our certification, but we are pursuing the endeavor. We grow the way we do because it is the right way to manage the land and the crops - not just for marketing purposes. We are the stewards of this land and we eat from this land too - we don't sell anything that we wouldn't feed our own families. Just plain good food grown the "old fashioned" way.
