History - William Nolen, along with his wife Sarah and five children, were traveling through middle Tennessee, in 1797, when his wagon broke down causing the family to delay traveling until the wagon was repaired.  After inspecting the local terrain, William Nolen noted the area had an abundance of game and clean creek water.  These resources convinced him and his family that they needed to travel no further.  He and his family built their log cabin home and farm in the area now called Nolensville, Tennessee.

The Nolensville “Feedmill” established in 1890 is loaded with tons of odds and ends. Everything from primitives to elegant china. Come find collectibles, hand made local goods, and much more. We have local Art, reupholstered Victorian Chairs and Couches, Original Farm Tables and tables made out of reclaimed lumber. The Mill has changed the Farmers Market hours, now opening at 9:00 AM and closing when all the food is gone.  As you know, Nolensville is growing, rapidly, and so is this Farmers Market, which includes veggies, steaks, fruit, soaps, lotions, and so much more. 

The Historic Mill, originally owned and operated by the Jordan family, the mill was bought and moved to Nolensville in 1890 by a group of stock holders.  Dr. David Rice Gooch, among the original stockholders, later purchased half of the stock in the mill company (a 50 barrel flour mill with a 48-inch grinding stone).  In 1916, S. C. Battle purchased the remaining stock to become partners with Dr. Gooch.  In 1920, Owen Allen Gooch, son of Dr. David Rice Gooch, bought S. C. Battle's share to become half owner. 

On October 2, 1932, Owen Allen Gooch bought the remaining shared from his father to become sole proprietor. The original mill burned in 1933 and was rebuilt with the intentions of producing flour, but with the demand for flour decreasing, the mill was primarily used for manufacturing feed.
