The Community Farm at Mill Ridge is The Nashville Food Project’s largest community garden site, located in Southeast Nashville at Mill Ridge Park, Metro Nashville’s newest regional park. Shaped by a year-long public planning process, this space reflects what neighbors asked for: a place to grow food and build community.

At this site, gardeners steward individual plots where they grow food for themselves, their families, and their communities. Plot holders have access to shared infrastructure, growing support, and a vibrant network of fellow growers.

Join us for Opening Day as we celebrate the start of a new growing season and welcome plot holders and their families back into the space. We will have activities, food, and opportunities to connect with community partners who help make this work possible.

Come celebrate another season of growing at Mill Ridge. Registration not required.

Our next Simmer Dinner invites us to come together around the table for an evening shaped by heritage, story, and shared work. This dinner offers a taste of Guyana, the only country in the world that produces all the food it needs through regenerative agriculture. Rich in natural resources and deeply rooted in environmental stewardship, Guyana is a place where abundance is cultivated with care and where warmth lives at the center of the table.

We are honored to welcome The Pepper Pott, a Caribbean culinary group led by a mother-and-son duo whose cooking carries generations of knowledge forward. Their food reflects tradition held with intention, and hospitality offered with deep care, reminding us that nourishment is as much about connection as it is about flavor.

Event Details

Simmer x The Pepper Pott
Friday, February 27th | 6:00 PM-9:00 PM
Hosted at The Nashville Food Project

When you join us for this dinner, you support more than an evening together. You help sustain the relationships and systems that allow us to keep growing, cooking, and sharing nourishing food across Nashville. Care does not end when the meal does. It continues because people choose to show up.

Care doesn’t stand alone.

Care is shaped by values, systems, and shared responsibility.

At the 2026 Food & Faith Conference, faith communities and local organizations will come together to better understand food insecurity in the greater Nashville area and explore the many ways we can be part of the solution. Through conversation and shared learning, we’ll break down silos and build a stronger, more connected network of hunger relief.

Join us for a time of learning, reflection, and collaboration around community gardening, orchards, hot meals, food pantries, and advocacy.
