Conference - Activist Summit'! Visitor policy: "The
Farm is a community of 250 people living on
3-square miles of hilltop in Southern middle
Tennessee. Because the villagers at the Farm enjoy
the peace and quiet of their surroundings (and
don't see themselves as living in Disneyland) they
ask that visitors write or call in advance, or
attend one of the regularly scheduled conferences
and other special events hosted by The Farm." They
also present a 'Farm Experience Weekend' for those
interested in living at the community. Memphis
