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.
Take a look around. Feel at home. |

A Note from the Barn Spring is springing up everywhere around the farm! From hardy daffodils to crabapple buds, the signs are unmistakable. Of course, on a farm, another sure sign of spring is mud! Thankfully, with a good pair of rubber boots, there isn’t a place we can’t get into. Golf carts and trucks are a different story, though, as care must be taken not to bury one up to its axles! Farmer’s market season is just around the corner—Saturdays from April 6 through the end of October, and a veggie garden renovation is long, LONG overdue. So, get ready, folks! Can’t get to the farm in person? Well, 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! Looking for details on our 3rd Annual Open House at The Cottage? Look no further than our Upcoming Events page. You’ll find details on other great things to do in West Tennessee |
