Jody & Mary Britton Cummings
Owners

​

Jody and Mary Britton are rare Nashville natives who have spent the past 20 years working in construction and education, respectively, and raising their four children. Both had grandparents who lived on small family farms and, over the past few years, have felt a call to return to the land, not only as a way to do something good for our planet but also to grow beautiful, healthy food for their family, friends, and the community. West Glow was the name of Mary Britton’s family’s farm in nearby Ashland City and Dunvegan (of Clan MacLeod in Scotland fame) was Jody’s family’s farm in Versailles, KY. By reclaiming the names of the old family farms, they hope to honor their heritage and create a beautiful place that brings people, plants, and animals together.

Max Page
Farmer

​

Max has grown up around agriculture on his family's beef cattle farm. Being a Nashville native, Max has always had an interest in making farming part of the Middle Tennessee culture. Max graduated from the University of Tennessee's Herbert College of Agriculture in 2022 with a degree in Agricultural Education. He hopes to use this knowledge to help educate and integrate the residents of middle Tennessee with local food producers.

Margo Wilson
Events Coordinator

​

Margo Wilson is a Nashville native but was fortunate to spend most of her youth at her grandparents’ 200-acre cattle farm in Petersburg, TN. Her time spent there cooking with her large family, working in their expansive vegetable garden, fishing, and learning about wildlife would shape her future in numerous ways. After studying at O’more College of Art & Design, and MTSU, she obtained a Culinary Arts Degree at The French Culinary Institute. Over the years, she ventured into Event planning and has worked for some of Nashville’s beloved companies such as The Mad Platter & The Bound’ry. Margo is thrilled to bring her expertise to The Barn at West Glow Farm as the Barn Manager. She’s eager to help clients execute the vision they have for their special Event, along with assisting with numerous exciting cooking classes!

Bill Lovell
Property Manager

 

Bill and his wife Jamie are Nashville natives who moved to rural Kingston Springs, TN 30 years ago to raise their two daughters, Tiffany and Tasha. After retiring from the Nashville Convention Center, Bill managed a 250-acre farm in Dickson, TN taking care of commercial cattle. He recently completed the Master Beef Producer Program at the UT Institute of Agriculture. Bill and Jamie enjoy being outdoors, gardening, and wildlife. They created a backyard habitat recognized by the NWF, and more importantly a sanctuary for their family. So, they were pleased to learn their new neighbors shared their love and appreciation for the land. Bill joined West Glow Farm at Dunvegan as the Property Manager in 2017.
