Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Blackberry Farm in
Tennessee for a regular client, We spent a week there photographing a brochure
set to come out in Fall, I will feature it here on Fluff N Stuff when it come
out, stay posted!
On Blackberry Farm, Studio Marcus Hay rolled up the sleeves, hitched up the overalls and got to work! Styling work not Farm work that is! ; )
Blackberry Farm is situated on a pastoral 4,200-acre estate in the Great Smoky Mountains, According to legend, in 1939; Mrs. Florida Lasier of Chicago snagged
her silk stockings on a wild blackberry bramble while exploring the idyllic
Smoky Mountain foothills, and the name Blackberry Farm was born. Now owned by
the Beall Family, Blackberry Farm is More than 30 years ago, Blackberry Farm
was founded on the idea of creating a home with good friends, family and good
food. Today, Blackberry continues to share its southern hospitality with Sam
and Mary Celeste Beall and an amazing collection of staff that were a delight
to work with and they all went out of their way to help us out.
The grounds are
just simply amazing and really took my breath away, sure beat working in an indoor
studio. While we did long days at work and while I could not take advantage of
all the amenities, we were treated to an amazing dinner and catering each day
with produce fresh from the Farm. While it is a full functioning farm, Blackberry Farm also boasts Fly Fishing, A Pool, A Wellness Spa, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Kayaking and much more.
Being a city boy,
I was just so awe struck by the produce and selection of different fruits and
vegetables constantly being harvested. I can’t wait to return one day to the
Farm.
I hope you enjoy
the pictures, I certainly enjoyed taking them.
