Murfreesboro

Murfreesboro

Batey's Berries is the pick-your-own arm of Batey Farms, a long-running family operation on Wilkinson Pike in Murfreesboro.

It's one of Rutherford County's better-known produce stops, close in to Murfreesboro rather than a long rural drive. Confirm the strawberry opening each spring, since it shifts with the weather.
