What is Delvin Farms?
Delvin Farms is a family farm in College Grove, Tennessee, that has been part of its local community for over 50 years. It grows more than 50 varieties of vegetables using organic methods, without pesticides or herbicides, and sells them through three main channels: a CSA membership program, a seasonal farm store on Cox Road, and stalls at Middle Tennessee farmers markets.
What it offers
- CSA memberships. A Full Share provides weekly pickup from May through October. A Half Share offers bi-weekly pickup and suits couples, small families or anyone who wants fresh produce without a weekly commitment. A Winter CSA runs from October to late December and shifts from summer vegetables to butternuts, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.
- Farm store. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., from May through December. Beyond its own produce, it carries locally sourced meats, artisan cheeses, pantry staples, refrigerated drinks and prepared meals.
- Farmers markets. East Nashville on Tuesdays, Arrington on Wednesdays at the farm store, and Franklin on Saturday mornings.
Who it suits
The CSA works best for households that cook regularly and are comfortable eating with the seasons, since box contents change with each week's harvest. The Half Share is the lower-commitment entry point. The farm store and markets suit shoppers who prefer to choose their own items rather than receive a set box.
A practical next step
Decide first whether you want a subscription or one-off shopping. If you're unsure about committing to a season, visit the farm store or a market stall to see the produce and ask how the shares are sized. If you're comparing CSA options more broadly, LocalHarvest maintains a national directory of farms and CSAs that can help you weigh alternatives in the area.
How do I choose between a full share, half share, and winter CSA membership?
Choose by how often you cook at home, how many people you feed, and whether you want a year-end season extension. On Delvin Farms, the Full Share is a weekly pickup from May through October, the Half Share is a bi-weekly pickup over the same season, and the Winter Veggie CSA runs from October into late December with a different mix of crops. The farm describes all three as boxes of organically grown vegetables, with over 50 varieties across the season and contents that change with what is harvested that week.
A practical comparison
| Option | Pickup rhythm | Season | Best fit | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Share | Weekly | May–October | Households that cook most nights and can use a large box every week | You need to plan meals around the box and keep up with peak-season volume |
| Half Share | Bi-weekly | May–October | Couples, small families, or anyone who wants fresh vegetables without a weekly commitment | Less variety per month and gaps between pickups |
| Winter Veggie CSA | Seasonal pickup | October–late December | People who want to keep cooking with local produce after the main season | Starts with summer vegetables and shifts toward butternuts, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts |
How to decide
Start with your weekly cooking reality rather than the label. If you already shop for vegetables once a week and cook five or more dinners at home, a weekly Full Share matches that routine. If you eat out often, travel, or share a household with one other person, the bi-weekly Half Share reduces waste and still gives you seasonal variety. The Winter share is less about volume and more about timing: it suits cooks who enjoy root vegetables and fall crops and want a bridge into December.
A concrete test: count how many meals you cooked at home last week and how many vegetables you threw away. Two or more wasted items point toward the Half Share or splitting a Full Share with a neighbor. If you routinely buy squash, greens, and sweet potatoes in late fall, the Winter CSA is the natural add-on.
Next step
Check the pickup days and locations before choosing. The farm lists weekly CSA pickup on Wednesdays or Saturdays and also attends the Arrington Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons at the farm store, so your schedule may decide between the Full and Half Share more than box size does.
When and where can I pick up my CSA box or visit the farm store?
CSA pickup is weekly on Wednesdays or Saturdays, and the farm store at 6361 Cox Road in College Grove, TN, is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sundays and Mondays. The store is seasonal, open May through December.
CSA pickup
The site lists Wednesday or Saturday pickup for CSA shares, but the arrangement depends on which share you choose:
| Share | Frequency | Season |
|---|---|---|
| Full Share | Weekly pickup | May through October |
| Half Share | Bi-weekly pickup | May through October |
| Winter Veggie CSA | Season extension | October to late December |
If you work standard weekday hours, the Saturday option is the practical choice; Wednesday pickup pairs well with the Arrington Farmers Market, which runs Wednesday afternoons at the farm store.
Farm store and market visits
The farm store stocks freshly harvested produce, locally sourced meats and artisan cheeses, refrigerated drinks, pantry staples and ready-to-heat meals. Beyond the store, you can find Delvin Farms at these Middle Tennessee markets:
- East Nashville Farmers Market, Tuesdays 3:30–6:30 p.m., 511 Woodland Street, Nashville
- Arrington Farmers Market, Wednesdays 3:30–6 p.m., at the farm store, 6311 Cox Road, College Grove
- Franklin Farmers Market, Saturday mornings 8 a.m. to noon, 120 Aldersgate Way, Franklin
Next step
Before committing to a share, confirm your pickup day and location directly with the farm, since the site doesn't spell out whether every share type offers both Wednesday and Saturday pickup. If you're unsure between full and half shares, the half share suits couples or smaller households that can't manage a weekly trip; the full share makes sense for families cooking most nights. For broader context on Community Supported Agriculture, see LocalHarvest.
What can I buy at the Delvin Farms farm store beyond vegetables?
At the Delvin Farms farm store you can buy more than vegetables: the page also lists fresh-picked fruits, locally sourced, hand-selected meats and artisan cheeses, refrigerated drinks and pantry staples, and fully prepared meals ready to heat and serve. The store is on Cox Road in College Grove, Tennessee, and the listed hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday. The page notes the store is seasonal, open May through December.
For a practical decision, think about what you'd otherwise buy elsewhere: the meats and cheeses make it plausible to cover part of a meal or a picnic in one stop, and the prepared meals suit a day when you don't want to cook. If you're planning a specific dinner around the meat or cheese counter, it's worth confirming availability before making the trip, since the page doesn't detail selection or stock.
Which farmers markets in Middle Tennessee does Delvin Farms attend, and on what days?
Delvin Farms lists three Middle Tennessee farmers markets on its site, each on a different day:
| Market | Day and time | Location |
|---|---|---|
| East Nashville Farmers Market | Tuesdays, 3:30–6:30 p.m. | 511 Woodland Street, Nashville |
| Arrington Farmers Market | Wednesdays, 3:30–6:00 p.m. | At the Delvin Farms farm store, 6311 Cox Road, College Grove |
| Franklin Farmers Market | Saturday mornings, 8 a.m.–noon | 120 Aldersgate Way, Franklin |
The page also begins to mention Richland Park but gives no day or time for it, so treat that as unconfirmed until you check with the farm.
For planning: if you want the widest choice and a market-day atmosphere (the Arrington listing mentions 40-plus vendors, food trucks and a food courtyard), Wednesday afternoon works, and it doubles as a stop at the farm store. Saturday morning in Franklin suits a early errand run, while Tuesday afternoon in East Nashville is the only Nashville-city option listed. Because the farm store is seasonal (May through December per the site), market attendance outside that window is worth confirming directly, for example through the contact section of Delvin Farms.
How do I sign up for a CSA membership or contact the farm with questions?
Sign up through the CSA section of Delvin Farms, where each share type has its own signup link: Full Share (weekly pickup, May–October), Half Share (bi-weekly pickup), and Winter Veggie CSA (October to late December). Pick the share that matches how often you cook and whether you can commit to a weekly pickup; the half share is aimed at couples, small families, or anyone who wants fresh vegetables without a weekly obligation.
For questions about the CSA, farm store offerings, or farmers markets, use the contact section on the same site ("Let's Stay in Touch"). The farm store on Cox Road in College Grove is open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., seasonal May through December, if you prefer to ask in person; CSA pickup is Wednesdays or Saturdays.
Next step: decide between weekly and bi-weekly pickup first, since that choice determines which signup link you need. If you're unsure, a reasonable approach is to start with the half share for one season and switch to the full share once you know you'll use a box every week.
