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. Nashville
Raw Foods Meetup Group -

support and encouragement from other raw fooders in
the area and share meals, recipes, books, ideas and
friendship together on a monthly basis. This group
is for everyone interested or just learning about
raw foods as well as for those that are stuggling
or have already "gone raw." You don't need to be
100% raw, all eating paths and lifestyles are
respected.
