Daniel Allen’s 120 acres of paradise sits right on the Maury and Williamson county line. His parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents all farmed in the same area, so he naturally carried on the family tradition. He and his wife, Stephanie, started a community-supported agriculture (CSA) venture four years ago, but he has been a lifelong steward of the land. His many customers call him “Farmer Dan” when they encounter him at their farm, in Westhaven and at the Franklin farmers market during the growing season.
The list of produce Dan grows would stretch from here to the state line, but the first one that arrives each year is one of his favorites. Just as the temperatures begin to climb out of their gray, cold doldrums, he’ll find spears of asparagus poking out of the ground. It’s almost as if the spears have awakened from a winter’s nap and are anxious to check out the scenery. He has 80 crowns of an heirloom variety, Martha Washington, that seems to be in a race to see which crown can grow the fastest.
