We will tour this 200+ acre working organic farm which is nestled along the Cumberland River right across from Bells Bend Park. Featuring a mix of cedar forest, upland hardwoods, and large agricultural fields, it forms a habitat mosaic that should attract a wide variety of birds. We plan to hike around the entire property along a set of gravel and grass roads that visit these different habitats, and the total distance traveled should be approx. 3 miles. We have timed this trip to coincide with the peak of fall sparrow migration and plan to spend the bulk of our time exploring the open fields along the river. The farm also features restrooms and organic farm shop where we will conclude the trip. We will meet at 7:30am. PLEASE ENTER THROUGH THE GATE MARKED FARM TRUCK ENTRANCE which is off River Road – not the main parking lot.
