What is The Farm?
Nestled on 200 acres of tranquil countryside just 45 minutes from Nashville, we are a rustic wellness escape designed to help you reset, recharge, and achieve your healthiest, happiest, and best life now. Our mission is to equip our guests with the tools, mindset, and supportive community to reach their personal wellness goals.
What is a Wellness Escape?
Imagine a place where your wellness is the top priority. A wellness escape offers you a chance to focus on your personal goals in a supportive, safe and guided environment. It's about reconnecting with yourself. It's movement that feels good. It's slowing down to speed up.
What sets The Farm apart from other Wellness Travel?
Wellness travel (or as we refer to it at The Farm, wellness escape) comes in all shapes, sizes, philosophies, locations and prices. What sets The Farm apart is our Place, our People and our Program.

What does a typical day look like at The Farm?
Full of possibility and entirely yours to shape. Most days feature structured wellness programming from 7am to 5:30 p.m., including fitness classes, educational talks, recreational activities, and guided relaxation and recovery. You pick and choose what to plug into, and the full range of amenities is always available when you want something outside of what's scheduled.
Meals are served at 8am, 12pm, and 5:30pm, with an afternoon snack at 3pm and an after-dinner treat at 6pm. Evening activities follow dinner and range from sound baths and guided meditation to karaoke and card games. And if there's one thing guests never skip, it's the sunset from our porch.
The schedule is designed to foster community, challenge your body, feed your soul, and introduce you to things you might not try at home but could fall in love with. Think of it as a sampler platter for your wellbeing.
A sample weekly schedule is available on our Plan Your Visit page.

Guests wishing to arrive earlier or depart later may purchase an Extended Access Pass for $79 per person, which provides access to additional programming, amenities, and meals/snacks served during that time.
Is The Farm strictly for weight loss?
While some of our guests focus on weight loss, it is not the only reason they attend, nor is it the primary way we encourage them to evaluate their progress at The Farm. Success is measured not just by weight loss and inches lost, but also by mental clarity, muscle gain, increased strength, enhanced mobility, and improved endurance. We emphasize overall well-being, ensuring our guests feel better both mentally and physically.
I am very out of shape and overweight, will I be able to participate?
At The Farm, we welcome guests of all fitness levels and safety is our top priority. Whether you can walk just a short distance or manage a few stairs, you will find a place with us. Our goal is to meet you exactly where you are on your fitness journey, providing support and encouragement every step of the way. We offer modifications for all physical levels and injuries to ensure that everyone can participate and experience positive results. You are welcome to engage at your own pace or fully participate in our programs, all within our professional and supportive environment.
What is included in metabolic and body composition test?
Based on your goals, you may choose to participate in testing including a Styku body scan, Resting Metabolic Rate analysis and weight.
- Styku Body Scan: This scan provides a detailed analysis of your body composition, including measurements of body fat, muscle mass, and inches.
- Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test: This test measures your resting metabolic rate to understand how many calories your body needs at rest.
- Weight
This information helps us determine your appropriate caloric intake and tailor our program recommendations to your personal goals.
For guests staying a week or more, we also offer follow-up testing close to departure to track and evaluate your progress during your stay.
