Crossing Creeks Farm.

A family of ducks at Crossing Creeks.
We call this site at Crossing Creeks Farm, Shelbyville Tennessee, the Taj Mahal.

This is the third summer we have been here. We found it on Harvest Hosts but it is also on Airbnb. It is a third generation farm that has a farm store with wonderful meats.

Joe and Joy West longtime friends from Tifton, Georgia.

We visited with our friends Joe and Joy West. They have restored Joe’s childhood farm house and it is adorable! We ate lunch at Nathan’s Family creamery and brought home ice cream and cheese.

Our daughter, Lynn, brought our granddaughter, Ruby to spend some time with us. She had fun seeing all the animals, especially the chickens. She has her own chickens at home in Atlanta. Noah, the son in the third generation, took her to see the chickens, ducks, and baby turkeys.

We went to see John’s Uncle Jack Daniels in Lynchburg Tennessee, went to the Squire House and had lunch at Miss Mary Bobo’s.

We also spent some time in Blue Buckle, a unique little town not far from the farm. Good food and little shops.
