Welcome to the Farm!

What is Stillwaters Farm?

As a growing agritourism enterprise, Stillwaters Farm is first and foremost an exhibition farm where animals of many different varieties reside for the primary purpose of our (and their) enjoyment!  Because these gentle creatures are approachable even by the youngest of us, they are wonderful teaching tools for our visitors.  It is unfortunate that a growing number of people in our country have never been up close and personal with a donkey or a cow or a sheep...especially one as friendly and BIG as Newman!  We, therefore, take great pleasure in introducing our guests to our livestock.  We raise our donkeys and Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs both for another purpose—to provide trained predator guards for flocks and herds of livestock.  They are bred, raised, and trained at our farm, and when sold, they perform their jobs above any expectation their new families may have.  Secondly, we are attempting to marry a “farm stay” at the Cottage with the exhibition nature of the farm.  We invite our guests to take a tour, get to know our residents, and jump right in to our daily activities, if they are so inclined.  Thirdly, we are a nature preserve.  You will not find any hunting on our premises—unless it’s with a camera.  As a result, we have plentiful deer, turkey, birds of all kinds, an occasional red fox, and coyote.  Our guests are encouraged to bring their cameras along for photo opportunities that happen each and every day.  Finally, we are a working hay farm.  Ours is a mixed grass hay—with a good percentage of Bermuda along with fescue, legumes, and clover.

Here at the Farm, we’ll do our best to keep you updated on the latest happenings .  Things  will change from time to time, like our cast and crew, so check back to see what...and WHO...is new.  We will also be continually updating our inventory of livestock and farm products and services areas to keep you current on what we offer here at the farm.  An online journal with articles that touch on many different subjects can be found in the Farm Chronicles—a link can be found on our “Related Links” page.

As for The Cottage, we will provide up-to-date information on rates, availability, and improvements made along the way.

A Note from the Barn

With the first cool nights of the season, Autumn is arriving on the farm.  Winter hair is beginning to grow, and the gardens have slowed down to a crawl.  It’s a time of harvest and a time of reflection on the year’s greatest hits and biggest misses. 
It’s also time for the fall festivals and holiday marts. 
Get ready!  There’s a farm experience around West Tennessee for just about everybody!

We are currently scheduling private tours for families and groups—but please be sure to call ahead for an appointment.  We are a private farm and want to be able to schedule the time needed to provide you with a quality experience.

We’ve also recently launched our own online store!  You can access it either through the handmade products page on this website, or you can go directly by CLICKING HERE!
