Nashville hotel ready to get its hands dirty
Everyone’s heard of the growing movement towards home-grown hotel restaurant food. But the historic Hermitage Hotel in Nashville is farming vegetables just outside its check-in counter.
The century-old hotel has announced a partnership with the Land Trust of Tennessee allowing them to farm land only five miles from their site to raise heirloom vegetables.
The Hermitage will cultivate the one-acre garden on historic Glen Leven farm.
The hotel has taken great care to research seed records and plant heirloom vegetables that reflect the heritage of the 19th Century property. The use of strictly natural cultivation techniques like biodynamic farming and homeopathic pest control remedies will ensure the health of the land and enhance the production of crops,” the hotel says in a news release.
The hermitage says it is the state’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel.
