The Farm House, located in the SoBro neighborhood at 210 Almond Street, is a Southern-inspired, farm-to-fork restaurant. From the architecture to the plate, you’ll feel like you’re dining at your best friend’s country home. Whether you want a low-key, afterwork brew or a slightly upscale, full-course dinner, The Farm House offers something for everyone. This call to action is the purpose of the Nashville Diaspora Missions Collective (DMC).
Nashville churches step up to care for nations in their backyards
The residents of the house were Egyptians who trace their Christian roots to the first century. When you walk in The Farm House, you’ll notice the welcoming bar and vaulted, barn-like ceiling overhead. Low lighting, barn doors, and hand-crafted woodwork accent the rustic atmosphere. The black and white photos in the hallway remind you of the families and farmers that make the food possible.

When he first heard about this specific household, Brett sprang into action, calling on the growing network of churches who are part of the Nashville Diaspora Missions Collective, to help. As he shared the story of the Egyptians with other pastors and leaders in his network, donations began to roll in. He was able to give a short Bible study for the men at the farmhouse and Brett prayed over them. Brett, a church leader in Tennessee, pulled up to the unassuming farmhouse situated in the rolling hills of Tennessee with a box of winter supplies and clothes donated by local churches.

Texas church donates to IMB in honor of pastor’s retirement
They’re far from the only people group in need of a welcoming face and basic resources in the backyards of numerous churches. In Davidson County alone, over 90 people groups are represented. They come as refugees, asylum seekers, international students and immigrants. Of those people groups, 40 would be considered unreached. She’s eager to see it replicated in other key cities throughout the country.
They hear from local refugee ministry and nonprofit leaders, as well as leaders across the convention involved in ministry to internationals. At meetings, the cohort learns about refugee response, sharing faith with ethnic neighbors and other topics. The meetings, typically hosted at the Nashville Baptist Association, end with prayer for the nations that God has brought to Nashville. The Coptic Christians Brett met are the latest wave of asylum seekers in the Nashville area who have very few resources available to them.
Typically staffed by career servers, the service is precise and discreet. If you are looking for a restaurant that captures the feel, flavors, and friendliness of Nashville, we highly recommend checking out The Farm House. Take a quick glance at the beers on tap, and you’ll see they aren’t pouring Bud or Miller. In the wine cooler, there’s a special blend specifically for The Farm House created by a winemaker in Manchester, TN.

And after your tasty Tennessee-fresh supper, get the dessert with Olive & Sinclair’s chocolatey touch.
Still, though, his congregation desires to reach out and reach the nations, despite their own needs. The collaboration to reach the nations in their backyards was born out of that realization. Each month, church leaders across the Nashville area meet.
The goal is a renewed commitment to assist churches in reaching the nations next door. In most downtown districts you’ll find an overabundance of chain restaurants, but more and more Nashville restauranteurs are bringing one-of-a-kind tastes and experiences to Music City’s downtown area. The Farm House is a result of one of these restauranteur’s passions, and is possibly the most locally-focused restaurant in Nashville. Tell us about your first impressions when you arrived.As the name implies, the Farm House has a distinct country vibe—sliding barn doors and reclaimed wooden tables fill the bright, open space.
The vision of seeing the nations reached in the Nashville area is something that diaspora congregations themselves are catching. Ziero Esteban Solano, pastor of Primera Iglesia Bautista Nashville, shared that his congregation has many felt needs. With Hispanic and Latino refugees and asylum seekers finding community and support in their congregation, each week, the food pantry diminishes.
What he didn’t expect to see was a rat scurry across the carport as he talked to the second resident who came to the door – one who could speak some English and accept the donation. He also didn’t expect to see more than 20 men come out of the same house. As he spoke with the men in the middle of December, he noticed they all wore sandals. While this is traditional dress for the climate in Egypt, sandals wouldn’t begin to keep them warm during their first middle Tennessee winter.
Over the next month, other pastors and leaders rallied to meet the physical needs of these families. There's an excellent selection of local and regional beers, as well as potent cocktails using only American-made distilled liquors. THE FARM HOUSE is always available for large parties, private dining events, and full restaurant buyouts. Please contact us for more detailed information on how we can help with your next event. Solano said, “I think that love God talks about is the agape love. And you can only have that type of love by surrendering to Him and serving people.
