We are excited to kick off another great year of programs. In September, we will be hitting the road. We gathered your feedback and are responding with a great Ag Tour opportunity.

In case you didn’t know, our very own John Bradley and his wife Debra operate a family farm – Spring Valley Farms (SVF) in Lutts, TN near Savannah. On the farms, John & Debra produce beef cattle, honey and hay, all sold direct to consumers. A true gate to plate operation.

Check out Spring Valley Farms on Facebook or visit their website!

We will be heading down the road for a great tour of their operation.

Tour agenda:

8:00 am - Depart from Showplace Arena next to AgriCenter on chartered bus
10:30 am - Arrive John & Debra’s house, enjoy refreshments on the front porch
11:00 am - Enjoy a truly homemade lunch complete with ½ pound burgers made from SVF beef and Debra’s homemade potato salad and dessert
12:30 pm - Load the bus for a tour of the farms where John & Debra will share the history of their farms and discuss their current operations. Highlights include:
- Cattle herds – How are they bred, raised, and sold direct to consumers
- Debra’s bee operation – How are they cared for and how the honey is produced
- General farm sites including old log barns
2:30 pm - Depart for Memphis
