About Batey Farms
Batey Farms is a multi-generation family farm and seasonal farm market at 5331 Baker Road in the Blackman community of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, serving Rutherford County shoppers with farm-raised pork, seasonal strawberries, and local food staples. Established in 1807 through a Revolutionary War bounty land grant awarded to James Bass, the Rutherford County Century Farm is operated by John L. Batey, his daughter Katherine Batey Whitt, and her husband Brandon Whitt. The farm runs an on-site retail store housed inside a restored 200-year-old cedar log cabin on Baker Road. Inside the cabin store, Batey Farms sells its own USDA-certified farrow-to-finish pork cuts, including bacon, pork chops, ribs, sausage, stuffed brats, and andouille. On open market days, the cabin also stocks regional farm goods such as local honey, jams, preserves, cheeses, dairy items, and free-range eggs. During peak berry season in May and June, Batey Farms opens its strawberry fields for pick-your-own and pre-picked strawberries as crop conditions allow, alongside growing row crops, beef, and malted barley for local breweries. Because retail cabin and strawberry hours change by season, visitors should check Batey Farms online or call ahead.
