-
- The Farm, 156 Drakes Lane, (615) 964-3574
- - An ex-vegetarian-hippie-commune located on 3 square miles of land
- just outside of Summertown. They call themselves a cooperative
- nondenominational religious community. Among the businesses located
- on The Farm is 'The Store' which is a small store that sells
- vegetarian food, tie-dyed t-shirts, and non-vegetarian marshmellows
- (the only non-vegetarian item I could find). Also located on The
- Farm is a soy dairy, but there are no restaurants or other places
- where one can get a meal. You can stay at their campground for $5 a
- night. The Farm is an interesting place for a quick visit, but it
- did not meet my expectations. To get there, take route 20 west just
- out of town to Drakes Lane, go a mile or so to a fork in the road,
- take the right side fork, it will take you to the gate into The
- Farm.
