We are a family farm located in Bellevue that is committed to providing our fellow Nashvillians with the produce their bodies crave. We combine the produce we grow in our "urban farm", with produce from other local growers to create our Half Bushels and Pecks, a weekly CSA program that is unlike anything in the area. Check back often for updates on t

his awesome opportunity! While we are at Nashville Farmers' Market Friday - Sunday each week, we are open daily at our onsite farmstand, located at the intersection of Highway 70 S and Highway 70/Charlotte Pike in Bellevue (8250 Highway 70 S, Nashville, TN 37221).

I had this memory pop up on my FB account tonight. 13 years ago at some random pop up event that I probably carried most of that produce from that little table home. Back then no farmers market really wanted me because I was so small and no one knew who I was. The only way I got a farmers market to take me as a vendor is because I saw that they didn’t have fresh juice there and I told them I’d start a juice company and sell it if they would let me sell my backyard produce. A$20 sign and a burlap table cloth and I was hustling everyday. Broke, but hustling. Over the years I’ve heard the comments about how big we have gotten and how much money we have supposedly made. It doesn’t bother me at all. I remember those early days that me and my wife literally worked all night 3 days per week just trying to put something on the table to sell. It was hard. And there was no reason for us to believe that we would make it, but we just never quit. She believed in me and I just didn’t think I could fail if I took it one day at a time. Sometimes being stubborn and naive is your greatest strength.

In a world of reels, videos and social media entertainment, one of the best things I have found for me is to wake up before the noise of my surroundings and the endless tasks of my work, and just read. I try to find inspiration, wisdom and insight from men and women far more intelligent than me. Turns out it’s not that hard to find. My job is to sell you guys my goods. But, my purpose in life is to be more than that. My hope is that everyone realizes their purpose should be more than their profession or title. Farmstand and flower fields open 9-5 today. Labor Day 8-6.

Here is a little something I found this morning.

If you can keep your head when all about you   
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;   
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;   
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

A really nice rain fell yesterday. About 300 yards on the other side of our farm… That’s how it goes sometimes. When I was younger I was “all gas and no brakes.” It worked. I’m still a gambler at heart, but I’ve learned to be patient. I’ve got 20,000 strawberry plants ready to be planted. But, the time is just not right. Too hot. Too dry. No rain in sight. I think it’s a good thing that as we age we start relying less on pure strength and determination and lean towards patience and the lessons we have learned over the years. I’m trying to convince myself I’m making the right decisions as I type. Sometimes the battles we have between our ears are tougher than the challenges of our fields.

Farmstand is looking good for the 3 day weekend. Hopefully cooler temps and rain will head our way soon. Open 8-6

They are calling for a heat index of about 109 today. I gotta admit I’m a little bit irritated with anything above triple digits. I’m gonna keep my head down and keep pushing us along, but I’m getting closer to bringing up the topic to my wife about me coming home and being a trophy husband. I got some valid bullet points prepared and can be a pretty persuasive guy. Never met a camera I didn’t like. Accomplished writer. Kinda got abs. Can handle a small garden. Willing to cook with or without a shirt on. Great credit score. Salt n pepper hair. Probably even selling myself short, but a humble man I try to be…maybe a couple hundred likes on this post can start the conversation with her.

In the meantime. We are still loaded with produce. Got first apples of the season rolling in this morning from Scott's Orchard. He’s also bringing pies, fritters and donuts. Last of our watermelons are out for one more round of summer. Don’t let a little heat slow down this economy. We got stuff that needs to be in your kitchen.

My Beloved Bride,
The Summer months have come and passed. Record temperatures are forecast and the drought continues to last. Fall plantings are put on hold till this devils heat starts to fold. Many on the crew have fallen ill, yet they continue to work day after day. Three more months of back breaking work lays in front of us. A couple more weeks away from relief is the best I can say. Crops have come in and they have been sold. Please save any of the profits I have sent you. Another long winter expected from what I have been told. These next couple months are of utmost importance and concern. We will find a way even if we lack the conditions for that we yearn. My back is not like my youth and the heat has affected even I, but my strength now lies in our family and the weight on my shoulders will be lifted as soon as their are clouds in the skies. I promise a holiday is in our future. Just be patient with me as I handle things I can’t control. The sweat from my brow is a small price to pay if it brings a better life for the children and for you my love, I do extol. We ride the challenges and bumpy roads together even as we are far apart. Cooler weather is on the horizon and with it comes time together. With this letter from a dusty field, I send you my heart.
Yours,
Smoke Daugherty

Good morning! Let’s talk wholesale/bulk pumpkin orders. We have been at capacity the last several years, but I think we can take on more clients this season. For those of you that want larger quantities of pumpkins/mums/cornstalks ($500 minimum) shoot us a message for pricing and delivery options. This is ideal for business owners and those wanting a huge spread without the ability to transport.

I’m more excited about pumpkin season than anyone, but the reality is that it is hot! Try to not put your pumpkins in direct sunlight right now. I’m all for starting to decorate, just make sure to put them in a location that they are not gonna melt.

I’m expecting our first load of mums to roll in today. If you buy them, keep them watered. Our staff can give you pointers.

Did I mention that it is hot?
