Old School Farm (OSF) is a nonprofit organization that uses therapeutic farming practices for the benefit of vulnerable populations. We currently employ five adults with developmental disabilities, known as “mission farmers,” who grow, harvest & deliver produce to food insecure communities in Nashville through partnerships with local food programs.

In addition to the farm, we operate a pottery studio in downtown Nashville that employs one director and two mission potters. The studio hosts classes and sells handmade products from local vendors as well as products processed and packaged by mission farmers at OSF as a social enterprise to support the farm.

OSF is committed to empowering our community by sharing our knowledge of sustainable, regenerative farming practices. We also host classes on preservation methods to help others learn techniques to preserve their summer bounty and explore natural crafting options. Additionally, we partner with local schools to host educational opportunities for students.
