Built along a rail line that is now a road

Harvest grew around a railroad that ran south from Fayetteville, Tennessee. When the line was abandoned in 1929, the right-of-way became what locals still call Old Railroad Bed Road1.

No city government

Because Harvest is unincorporated, county government handles roads and zoning1. Ask about utility providers for each parcel.

Schools

Most Harvest addresses are served by Madison County Schools2; confirm the exact address.

What to check

Acreage, septic and utilities

Lots in Harvest range from subdivision homes to rural acreage. On rural parcels ask whether the home uses septic or sewer and which water system serves it, then pull the FEMA flood panel3.
