Family Farm Rooted in Ethics, Sustainability, and Community

Meet the Whited Family Cattle Farm

Cattle Farming and hard work ethics run deep at Whited Family Farm. After graduating from college Brad Whited went to work on a farm with his grandfather, Johnny Dickens. Years later when his own son shared that same passion, the family farm expanded into the sustainable farm it is today. 

“Family and community are a big part of what our farm is made of,” says Brad, “It’s not worth doing unless you do it with your family.”

As the landscape of farming and industry continue to evolve, the Whited's Family Farm motto is that there’s not a lot you can control in this world, but you can control the food you put in your body. 

“We believe in growing good food that’s healthy and sustainable because at the end of the day, we are what we eat,” says their bio, “I saw how manufactured food was affecting the earth and how it was the downturn in my communities’ health, so I committed myself to growing sustainable foods to feed my community and family ethically. We’re proud to serve our community, and look forward to serving you!”

Each year the Whited's Family Farm invites the community to enjoy the harvest with them at their annual Farm to Fork dinner. Enjoy the view of Watertown and the sunsets, celebrate the food, and learn about their practices at one, or both, of their two night dinner parties.

Each night’s event will be unique in their way, both including a meal with a variety of cuts of meat from the black Angus cattle raised right here on the farm, locally grown vegetables, homemade desserts, drinks from a local brewery and vineyard, as well as fruit tea from The Fruit Tea Chicks. 

Friday, October 21 dinner will have a laid-back date night atmosphere with a local band playing throughout the night while Saturday night, October 22, your experience will include a tutorial from our processor on where each cut of beef comes from and a chef's explanation on how to grill each cut of steak like the most recognized restaurants in and around Nashville

These unique experiences include two drink vouchers with the opportunity to make a donation to Ignite Missions Honduras for any other wine for the night. For more information visit whitedfamilyfarm.com
