The Harris-Jones Greasy Branch Farm was honored as the Century Farm of the Year in Maury County by Maury County Chamber & Economic Alliance at its annual early morning Farm City Breakfast April 28, drawing almost 200 farmers and business professionals. Harris-Jones Greasy Branch Farm, established in 1915, has been in continual operation for over 100 years by the Harris and Jones families, today run by owners, husband and wife team, Melissa and Randy Jones in Culleoka, Tennessee. The farm's namesake, Greasy Branch Farm on Greasy Branch Road, dates back to the 1800s when, according to legend, German settlers once cooled slaughtered pork in the nearby creek that runs along the property when the weather suddenly turned warm.
