Ah Building a Farm
We manage a privately owned farm and forest that ranks in the top 5% nationwide for non-industrial landholdings—meaning we’re not a corporate giant like Kimberly-Clark, just a dedicated family working to steward our land the right way.
Located not far from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, we make it a point to attend their forestry seminars whenever possible, soaking up all the knowledge we can.
Our forest hasn’t had formal stewardship in decades, so we’ve got our work cut out for us. Our goals include:
🔥 Reducing wildfire risk
🌿 Removing invasive species
🦌 Promoting healthy wildlife habitat
🌲 Thinning overcrowded or non-viable vegetation
💧 Controlling erosion and protecting water quality
Follow along as we take on this journey of restoration, resilience, and responsible land management.
