The Grateful Belly Collective

Mission: Our mission here at the farm is to get off grid and be self-sustainable. We are looking for driven individuals who wish to improve their quality of life by joining with others who share the common desire for community and autonomy. We believe that this can be achieved by working together as a community rather than individuals. Many hands make light work. We want our children and ourselves to live free and experience life as it should be lived...without constraints. We have a 7-acre property with very fertile soil where we can grow our own food and stay out of the grocery store. We know that whoever controls the food, controls the people. Let's take that control back and live free! Let's work hard and celebrate with potlucks and a bonfire. Let's breathe and not be stressed out by poverty and isolation! If this sounds like you, please contact us.

We are a family-friendly farm located on 7 acres in Western TN. Our mission is to become self-sustainable by growing our own food, relying on alternative energy sources, and working together as a community to ensure the well being and prosperity of all of our members. We are planning on selling our produce at farmer's markets and at our store at our farm. Our goal is to have our farm-based business supporting the farm so that we can stay here and work on what matters. We currently have 10 adults and 10 children here. We currently do not have a community cabin built and therefore, you must have something to live/sleep in while visiting. There is a rather large open barn that you could pitch a tent in as to not get rained on. We do not have extra tents. We require anyone who wants to visit contact either Jen or Chris so that we can plan for your arrival. We have a strict no-violence policy here. It is not tolerated and you will be told to leave. We look forward to meeting you!
