Farmers Market / Farmers Harvest - Hartsville, Tennessee

We were here during a fairly busy lunch. My burger came out like a literal hockey puck. In all fairness the kitchen was probably a little overwhelmed, but even the seasoning was entirely missing too (it didn't even have any salt) so when the waitress offered to have it remade, I declined and just sent it back instead; It was that bad. What's even more interesting is that they apparently raise their own beef. I couldn't believe they let their own beef come out of the kitchen like that.
I would have left it at that, and we had a party of 5, so it was only one of the 5 meals that was a problem, but after paying and doing the mental math (they use handheld pay stations and I did not give me a receipt) I realized we were still charged for that burger! That's where this review comes in. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but this one was appropriate. That was pretty poor treatment of a customer in all reality.

The food is good, and the staff is friendly. However, what they do not make conspicuous is their fees. When I was brought the bill, I gave my card not thinking I would be assessed inconspicuous (hidden) fees for large party, card fee, and take-out fee. They consider a large party to be 5 or more people. When you have three kids, you already his their large party trigger and are assessed an additional 20% to the bill. If you use any take home boxes, they also charge you an additional $2.00. And, if you pay by card, they add an additional 3%. They do not say anything to you about these fees, I did not see any signs posted anywhere about it, and they are nice enough to return your receipt to you folded by quarters so unless you unfold it twice you do not see these extra charges. We thought the service was fantastic so we left the young lady a $40 tip and she took it with gratitude, but to be honest, if I knew I was going to have a mandatory ~$40 charge for a large party anyways, I would have not gave the extra cash tip. She just made $80 dollars off us...I guess that's why she was smiling. Even though the food was good, the atmosphere was ok for a small diner, I will not be back and do not recommend them because they tack on all these hidden charges and don't say anything to you about it. I know the swipe fee has become somewhat normal for small businesses, but as a former business owner myself that was small and grew large, the swipe fees are tax deductible on the business tax returns, so they are essentially gaining twice the amount. I am still debating to file a complaint against them to the county and state for the extra charges.

Great food, farm to table recipes. Burgers were so fresh and tasty. Loved the crispy fries. Dessert was homemade peach cobbler with a scoop of ice cream. They have several daily special. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked yummy. All the ladies were super nice and they have their own ice cream parlor!

The menus need a little refresh and update. They have stickers on them that say prices are 30% more than listed.

The burgers were tender and juicy. A little on the smaller side for a $10 burger. Everything is al a cart which increases the prices even more.

The fries are fried in vegetable oil which tastes like they have not changed in in years. It has a strong resemblance of the shrimp and fish fry. Very disappointing.

The ice cream is fairly basic. Made by a local creamery but nothing special. Note- the one scoop is not worth it. It’s a smaller size scoop then they use for the two scoop. Just use the same size scoop.

For our first time I'll say this: The double cheeseburger was good. No problem. Wife liked her chicken salad croissant. My main complaint was that the prices on the menu were a whole lot less than the actual price. I never saw the price change on the menu so clearly I was shocked at the real price at the end.
I think the owners need to take the time to update their menus. Would help I'm sure. Wasn't real happy about it. But again the food was good.

Just getting off work and didn't feel like cooking. On a cold winter day, there's nothing better than a good ole cup of HOT navy beans! Yessss, I got two containers full! One of my favorite places to go here!

It was very busy when we visited, and we could see why. The food is truly farm fresh and prepared exactly as asked for. The wait is a little long but understandable as everything is done as you wait. The atmosphere is informal, the waiters are friendly, and attentive. It's true country cuisine. The chicken sandwich was filled with shredded chicken, nuts, and berries with thick, rich mayo on a crescent roll. They are worth visiting just for their chunky fries. The steak for two was cooked to perfection. Farmers Harvest also boasts homemade desserts, and sugar cones topped with creamy ice cream. We will definitely be returning.

We had steak for 2. It was amazing. Cooked perfect and taste was great on everything.
