moore family century farm

Click the photo above for a video welcome to the historic award-winning Moore Family Century Farm (est. 1870) in Benton County, Tennessee. We are the oldest known continuously operating African-American owned farm in Tennessee.

​

Our farm tells an important Reconstruction era story: how African Americans started and continue to grow their own farms. A rare jewel, African American Family Farms represent 1.3% of total family farms in the United States. Come feel the tranquility and serenity of this special place.

 

Call or text us to schedule a tour or special event (wedding, retreat, reunion, communion, ancestor tribute, meditation, baptism, funeral) at our peaceful 150+ year old, 200-acre interpretive working farm complete with indoor outdoor museum, historical trail, cemetery, church, school, forest, row crops, and farm building remnants.
