From the competition brief:

“The Nashville Food Project's mission is to grow, cook, and share nourishing food with the goal of cultivating community and alleviating hunger in our city. As a part of this work, TNFP established the Community Farm at Mill Ridge in 2019 with the hopes of providing access to land and resources for neighbors and community members to grow and share their own food. Located on a Metro Park that spans 600 acres of historic farmland in the Antioch neighborhood, this park will soon be the newest regional park to open in Davidson County as phase one of the build out is set to be completed within the next year.

As the Community Farm and Mill Ridge grows, TNFP is hosting a design competition for two (2) proposed structures to be located within this campus. TNFP intends to construct a new Community Farm Pavilion as well as a Wash and Pack Shed. The design of these structures should provide an overall design that reflects a sense of welcome, fun, hospitality and learning.”
