Join us for a free family festival at The Community Farm at Mill Ridge in Antioch THIS SATURDAY! The Community Farm is stewarded by The Nashville Food Project and is the site of around 80 families from the Antioch community accessing public land and growing food organically in both individual and communal plots. The Community Farm is part of Metro's Mill Ridge Park. The Community Farm is best found by utilizing the following address and looking for a blue welcome flag: 12944 Old Hickory Blvd, Antioch, 37013.
On September 9th (from 11 AM-2 PM), we are coming together to celebrate Welcoming Week and the rich community fostered through shared spaces.
