Bugtussle Biodynamic Organic Farm

530 26th Avenue North

Bugtussle Biodynamic Organic Farm
Bugtussle Farm is a 120 acre farm (2 of which are in cultivation) located in beautiful south-central Kentucky. We supply a 75 family CSA in Nashville, TN every Saturday morning throughout our growing season. We are committed to sustainable, organic agriculture. This approach provides you with chemical-free food and also directly links you to the natural cycles of the earth. The farm is managed in a holistic manner with all life forms and processes being respected. This approach has numerous benefits that differentiate our practices from conventional farming practices. A few examples: resources are conserved and recycled by working with, rather than against, nature; weeds and pests are seen as indicators of soil conditions rather than enemies to wage war on; and food can be consumed directly out of the garden in all of its goodness and glory without fear of chemical residues.

We deliver every Saturday morning throughout the growing season to the West Nashville Farmers Market. There you will receive your basket of goodies from the farm. We often have extras (eggs, fruit, mushrooms, etc.) for sale, too. This is the day for celebrating the week's harvest!!!Basket Sizes:Small Share - 1/4 bushel or a "peck".
