When I think of Blackberry Farm I think of my Dad and Billy Reid of all things. It's a place I've longing to go to for what seems like forever (but in reality has probably been about 5 years or so). Given the state of the world right now, I have a feeling I'll be traveling the US a lot more and my dream trip is Blackberry Farm. My Dad and I have been talking about going for years and when we dropped my brother off at school, I thought we'd be making a weekend stop to the farm, but it didn't work out. I didn't think I would love Tennessee, but I felt at home in Nashville, fell in love with the mountains near my brother's school, and have a pretty good feeling Blackberry Farm will knock it out of the park. How can I not love a place with so many fabulous activities, a full roster of events, a beautiful setting, and award-winning food?
One of the biggest draws to the farm is the world renowned food! With three different restaurants for guests to choose from, there is something for everyone. I love that they focus on local cuisine and even have their own brewery. I bought my Dad the Blackberry Farm cookbooks one year, to give us a taste until we can go visit the farm ourselves.
Although most famous for their food (at least in my friend group) I can't help but be most tempted by all of the different retreats and activities they offer. From yoga, to hikes, to horseback riding there is something for everyone to do. There are even daily cooking demonstrations, photography lessons, and a "Spring Tour de Smokies". Looking at all of the different events they have planned this year has me longing for my own Blackberry Farm adventure.
While I still have yet to book a trip (will take awhile to save up!) it doesn't stop me from browsing their well curated store. I am so eager to try a few different products out, I may just need to order a few products from their shower collection to tide me over until I get to visit the farm itself. I love the idea of creating a spa experience at home, but they even have gourmet goodies you can order to your home!
It's always hard to plan outfits until I get to the destination (or know the season) but I know I'd want to go with a pretty casual attire overall. Think: jeans, button downs, clothing for hiking and yoga, and boots in case of bad weather. If I'm being honest, casual is not a look that is natural to me but if this year has taught me anything it's the importance of comfort and I'd probably want all of my bases covered here.
Where's your mind wandering this week?
