Big Red's Family Farm Big Red's Family Farm is a non-profit organization set up to allow children to get back to the farm. We are building a desperately needed farmer's market.

Big Red's Family Farm is a 200 acre plot of agricultural land in Oakland, TN (Fayette County). We are building a soccer field, baseball diamond, football field, indoor (covered) playground and basketball court. We want to donate (set aside) an acre of land to each of the six schools in the county (6 acres), allow the children to farm their product on the property (not a community garden) and sell it at not cost at the farmer's market (to support "Farm-to-School"). Additionally, we have one of the largest deer crossings in Tennessee. We will set aside an area for Disabled Veterans to hunt. We are dedicated to Veterans and their unseen sacrifices. Some other ideas that will come to past are a swimming pool, skating facility, horse riding arena, archery lanes, etc....

In an effort to mitigate interactions with wildlife and maintain the safety of our visitors, we will postpone the opening of the lake for another 30 days. We have been in a territorial dispute with local beavers 🦫 for approximately 4 years now. We were here first and refuse to leave. On May 1st of this year the war ended with the eradication of the opposing side and their descendants. We’re fully confident no more remain but as a precautionary measure, we will monitor signs of their possible activity and return.

Other species of wildlife, such as snakes 🐍, raccoon 🦝 and armadillo , will constantly be near the lake. On May 9th we had a team come test their fishing skills and to see exactly what could be caught. The largest fish caught was an 8-inch large mouth bass. Along the bank of the lake was a lurking monster. “Pictured in comments.” May is mating season for many snakes.

Additionally, on yesterday we sighted a bobcat 🐈 approximately 250 yards from the lake. NO WEAPONS ARE ALLOWED on the property other than those carried by our security team or specifically authorized by Big Red’s Family Farm.

Thank you for understanding our situation and we will set up a new date for fishing (with all details).

Police said the child was fishing from the shoreline when a beaver came out of the water and charged at him. More: https://abc7ny.com/post/nj-beaver-attack-8...

May 9th - “Mother’s Day Appreciation” 🌹
SATURDAY from 1600 to 1800 bring your Mothers, Grandmothers, Madeas, Nannas, Big Mommas, Memaws, Aunties, Teetees, Sisters, Cousins, Baby Mommas and tissues…. Each “Special Guest” will be individually serenaded and appreciated so each family can publicly express what their Mothers mean to them. You can sing a song, recite a poem or simply just talk about some the most memorable moments growing up. So before you take Mom out to dinner (because everywhere on Sunday will be an hour wait), bring her to the farm and shower her with gifts in front of the world. You’re only given one so cherish her while you can. This will be live streamed!!!

Easter Egg Hunt is postponed until April 11th.
