A rail line that became a community

Harvest is a census-designated place, not an incorporated town, with 5,893 residents in the 2020 Census. Development picked up after the railroad arrived from Tennessee, and the area covers about 12.4 square miles in northwestern Madison County.^[2]

Capshaw Mountain, at 1,250 feet, is the main geographic feature, and it is the watershed for the community's water supply. Homes here range from small lots to larger tracts, so a garage, workshop or barndominium may fit depending on the property.^[2]
