Alpacas, Greenhouse Vibes & Local Finds: A Leiper’s Fork Farm Crawl Near Franklin, TN
Fiber, Feather and Fur Farm — Franklin, TN
Leiper’s Fork is the version of Tennessee everyone hopes Nashville still has — rolling pastures, white-fence horse farms, a one-stoplight downtown that feels like a movie set, and just enough working farms left to make a real farm crawl worth the drive. It’s an easy day trip from any of our Nashville rentals (30–40 minutes south through Franklin), and if you’re staying at our sister-host property Lyric at Leiper’s Fork, you’re already in the neighborhood — the farm is barely a mile down the road. We send Music City Magnolia and Southbound Stays guests out here all the time. This is the local-favorite route: one anchor stop with alpacas and an event, a cluster of farm stands on Hargrove Road, and a slow drive home through one of the prettiest stretches of Williamson County.
The anchor stop: Fiber, Feather and Fur Farm
Fiber, Feather and Fur Farm sits on Quest Ridge Road in Franklin and operates as a working farm with a curated store experience, regular farm tours, and seasonal events — including bouquet-making in their open-air greenhouse and animal-focused tours that include alpacas, geese, bees, and Great Pyrenees. Either booking is a strong anchor for a half-day in the country.
The Gilded Greenhouse: A Floral Bouquet Soirée
The Gilded Greenhouse event is a Mother’s Day weekend floral brunch in the farm’s open-air greenhouse with bouquet-making, charcuterie, libations, live music, and time among the alpacas and farm animals. It’s the most photogenic seat on the property and an easy “yes” for a girls’ weekend, a milestone birthday, or a Mother’s Day surprise.

Alpacas, Geese, Bees & Great Pyrenees: Farm Tour Adventure
The animal tour is the better fit if you’re traveling with kids, hosting visiting family, or just want a calmer outing. The hosts walk you through the farm to meet alpacas, llamas, chickens, geese, ducks, and the resident Great Pyrenees, with the farm store as the natural last stop. We’ve sent grandparents, bachelorette groups, and homeschool families on this one and they all come back smiling.
The Hargrove Road farm stand cluster
From Quest Ridge, you’re a short drive to Hargrove Road, where three farm stands sit within minutes of each other. This is where the day gets fun — cash boxes on the honor system, hand-lettered signs, and the kind of pantry finds you cannot order online.

The anchor stop. Animals, events, the open-air greenhouse, and the curated farm store. 5729 Quest Ridge Rd, Franklin.
Mangrum’s Farmstand
Lavender bundles, herb-infused oils, potpourri, natural bug sprays, and small-batch bath goods. Worth the stop just for the lavender.

Baked goods on the honor system, seasonal produce, and one of the prettiest little stand setups on the road.

The pantry finale: canned goods, jams, sweet treats, and baked things you’ll snack on all the way home.
Downtown Leiper’s Fork
End the day at Puckett’s Grocery for lunch, then browse the antique shops and galleries on the main strip.
Leiper’s Fork Distillery
If anyone in the group wants a flight, the distillery sits right on the main strip and pairs with lunch at Puckett’s.
Stay nearby: Lyric at Leiper’s Fork (1 mile from the farm)
If you want to slow the whole weekend down — do the farm crawl Saturday, breakfast in the country Sunday morning, and skip the drive back to Nashville at the end of the day — book our sister-host property out here. Lyric sits about a mile from Fiber, Feather and Fur Farm and minutes from the Hargrove Road stands, so you can wake up, walk the property, and roll into the greenhouse event without ever leaving the country.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Leiper’s Fork and how far is it from Nashville?
Leiper’s Fork is an unincorporated village in Williamson County, Tennessee, about 30 minutes south of downtown Nashville and 15 minutes west of downtown Franklin. From any Music City Magnolia Nashville rental, plan 30–40 minutes door-to-door — an easy day trip. If you’re staying at our sister-host property Lyric at Leiper’s Fork, you’re already there: the farm is about a mile down the road.
How long does the farm crawl take?
Plan 3–4 hours if you’re booking the farm tour or greenhouse event plus the Hargrove Road farm stands. Add another 1–2 hours if you’re including lunch at Puckett’s in downtown Leiper’s Fork or stopping at Leiper’s Fork Distillery.
Can you visit Fiber, Feather and Fur Farm without an event ticket?
The farm runs ticketed experiences — the bouquet-making greenhouse event and the animal-focused farm tour — rather than walk-in visits. Book through Eventbrite ahead of your trip. Both events sell out, especially around Mother’s Day, holidays, and weekends.
What can you buy at the Hargrove Road farm stands?
Mangrum’s Farmstand sells lavender bundles, herb-infused oils, potpourri, natural bug sprays, and bath goods. Murphy’s Farmstand carries baked goods and seasonal produce. Honeysuckle Farmstand has canned goods, jams, baked treats, and pantry items. Most stands operate on the honor system — bring small bills.
Is Leiper’s Fork worth it for families with young kids?
Yes — especially the animal-focused farm tour at Fiber, Feather and Fur Farm, which is built around meeting alpacas, llamas, chickens, geese, ducks, and Great Pyrenees. Combine it with baked-goods stops and lunch at Puckett’s for a relaxed family day in the country.
Where should we stay near Leiper’s Fork?
Lyric at Leiper’s Fork (managed by Southbound Stays, our sister-host property) is the closest match for guests planning a slow Franklin and Leiper’s Fork weekend — 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, sleeps up to 12, with a fire pit, BBQ grill, and 12 private acres. Most Music City Magnolia properties sit 30–40 minutes north in Nashville’s Crieve Hall and Brentwood-adjacent neighborhoods.
What else is worth doing in the area?
Pair the crawl with lunch at Puckett’s Grocery in downtown Leiper’s Fork, a tasting at Leiper’s Fork Distillery for their Old Natchez Trace Tennessee Whiskey, and an afternoon stroll through the village’s antique shops and galleries. The historic district is small, walkable, and a perfect cooldown after a farm-stand day.
