Nash Family Creamery

The Farm Tour

The tour starts at the creamery with a trailer ride onto the farm. You meet the baby calves and look down on the milking parlor from a viewing room, and the creamery says the tour also takes in the housing barn and the cheese production facility. There are about 14 stairs up to the parlor viewing room and two into the trailer. All ages are welcome.

Tours are seasonal and sold by date on the creamery's ticket site. Arrive 15 minutes early: the guides wait only five minutes, and you cannot drive out to catch up because the farm is a biosecure area. Refunds are given up to 72 hours ahead unless you buy the optional insurance.

The Creamery

The eatery sells the farm's cheeses with local meats, gourmet sandwiches made with its cheese, baked goods and 20 ice cream flavours, served as sundaes and shakes. There is a playground outside. From late August to 1 November the farm runs an 18-acre corn maze, billed as the largest in Tennessee, open until sunset on creamery days.

The Family

The Nash family began milking cows in central California in 1929 and moved the whole herd to Chapel Hill in 2014, building new barns and a 48-cow milking parlor. Cody Nash, the fourth generation, started the creamery to sell directly to visitors.

Getting There

Drive south from Nashville on Highway 41A. The creamery is on Central time. Flowers Creamery in Ethridge, listed on the Tennessee page, is the next cheese stop to the southwest.
