Garrison Valley Farms
http://www.garrisonvalleyfarms.com/cattle.html
Our Method
Our cattle are Garrison Valley cattle, meaning that they are all born and raised on the Curl and Lee farms. By keeping our herds local, we significantly reduce incidents of disease. Our calves are gently weaned and then, depending on time of year, placed in fields growing high quality seasonal forages such as oats, rye, and pearl millet.
We do not feed our cattle growth stimulants or therapeutic antibiotics. Our cattle are selected and raised to be wholesome, healthy and thrive on local forages, just as they have for thousands of years.
We believe that the best way to raise our cattle is to let them freely graze the grass we grow. That said, in times of stress (i.e. weaning, illness, drought, extreme cold/heat) we do hand-feed our cattle minimal amounts of wholesome, natural grains to supplement their diet. To get a better idea of our management practices, check out Whit's presentation to the 2014 Tri-State Beef Conference.
Our Cattle
We raise Angus cattle because of their well-established reputation for producing high quality meat. Because we are in daily contact with our cattle, we place a primary emphasis on temperament--calm cattle aren’t just safer to be around, they generally make for a bigger, better tasting end product.
We pride ourselves on selecting the very best breeding stock available. This means selecting cattle that will thrive in the Middle Tennessee climate on our native grasses. We routinely incorporate the latest technology available for genetic testing and software-based qualitative analysis in our management protocol, but fundamentally, those are just tools that help to focus our own experience-based decision making process—there is simply no substitute for a lifetime spent raising cattle.

Don’t Fear A Swarm!
More than likely if bees swarm, they have run out of room because they are growing and healthy.
DO NOT call exterminators, instead call me at (931)808-5654. I will come to the place of the swarm outside of your home and remove the bees free of charge in Coffee, Grundy, Franklin, Bedford and Rutherford counties.
Bees are extremely valuable pollinators and we do not want to kill them unnecessarily. Our handmade soaps, flavored and unflavored lip balms, scented and unscented hand lotion bars, and Beeswax candles are made in Martin’s Honey House from the Beeswax produced by our own honey bees. Our beeswax by-products are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A small beginning has led to a thriving business supplying family members, friends and many others like you with pure local honey and beeswax products. We look forward to providing you with local 100% pure raw strained honey, cut comb honey, Creamed Honey, Infused Honey and our handmade skin care products or pure beeswax candles.

Weaver Farms, Estill Springs
Owner Jamie Weaver 931-596-4647
Since 2002, the farm has grown to include a vineyard, pumpkins and our retail meat business. From 2002 to 2012, Weaver Farms had a contract to raise pigs. In 2012, when the contract expired we chose a new direction. In 2013, we began raising pigs for meat to sell at local farmers markets. Throughout the history of our farm, we have always raised pigs in one way or another. However, when we decided to begin our retail pork adventure, we became intertwined in the process from the very beginning to the very end?all the way to the customer's table. We?ve since have added beef and lamb to our retail meat business. We have been blessed with passion and responsibility to take care of the land around us. We believe in using good stewardship practices such as no-till, cover crops, and reducing inputs to conserve and enhance the resources we have been given for future generations. Our family farm passed down for generations started this leg of its journey with Ray and his wife Elaine, growing to include Jamie, his wife Ashley and their three children: Sarah, Elliott and Grady. Each person plays a vital part in operating of our family farm. Ray and Jamie take on the main load of daily farm tasks. Elaine runs errands and keeps the boys fed. In addition, Ray and Elaine work the farmers markets with the grandchildren helping. We all pitch in during sweet corn and pumpkin season. We sell mostly at farmers markets. Feel free to call us to schedule an appointment to pick up on farm.
