fo·rev·er·more /fər-ˈev-ər-ˌmôr/ — not a place you visit once. a place that stays with you.
Forevermore Farm is a small, regenerative homestead in the hills of Hickman County. We raise heritage pigs, tend a straw bale garden, and open our gates to anyone who wants to remember what real food and real land feel like.
Forevermore Farm on Volunteer Gardener
Concetta's straw bale garden is featured on PBS Volunteer Gardener. The Nashville premiere is Thursday, April 30 at 7:30 PM — and you can see the garden in person at the Ag & Arts Tour in June.
Watch Schedule & Visit Info
As Seen In
“It tastes better knowing that it came out of your garden. And it tastes better knowing that you raised the animal that you're eating. It's healthier.”
— Olin West, WKRN News 2 · July 3, 2025
Volunteer Gardener is featuring Forevermore Farm.
We pulled the full watch schedule into one place, plus everything you need to know before visiting the farm during the June 19–20, 2026 Ag & Arts Tour.
The Animals
They all get along. Every single one of them. That tells you something about this place.
Clementine & Hazel
Clementine is a Juliana pig. Hazel is a pot-belly. Both live in the house and both have strong opinions about it. Teddy the cat has appointed himself babysitter to both of them. Nobody asked. He just started doing it.
Heritage Berkshire Pigs
Free-range Berkshire pigs raised the way it used to be done — open pasture, no pharmaceutical vaccines, room to root. The pork is extraordinary. The reason why is simple.
Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Three kids who arrived and immediately took over. They have no sense of personal space and zero regrets about it.
The Straw Bale Garden
Concetta is a certified Straw Bale Gardening instructor — one of a handful in the country trained directly under Joel Karsten, the method's creator. At Forevermore, she's built a market-scale garden inside a hand-built pergola enclosure. Workshops coming this season.

How We Built It
Every board cut, every post set, every bale placed by hand.
The Land
Forty-something acres of Tennessee hills, a natural bowl shaped by tree lines on all sides, and a stage that was built because this place deserves music in it.
Wildflowers fill the bowl in spring. Wild turkeys walk through without asking. The fog sits in the valley in the morning and burns off slow. Olin keeps the land — up before the sun, brush hogging the fields, doing the unglamorous work that makes all of it possible.
What's Coming
Join the list to hear first.
Event Venue
A renovated barn, an outdoor stage, and open sky. Forevermore Farm is becoming a place where people gather for music, community dinners, and the kind of evening that's hard to explain but easy to remember.
Farm Stay
Wake up to roosters. Fall asleep under stars. The tiny home on the property is ready, and a camping area isn't far behind. Come for a night, leave moving a little slower than you arrived.
Harvest Hosts
If you travel by RV, the best stops aren't the RV parks. Forevermore is exploring Harvest Hosts — a real working homestead, solar powered, with animals and gardens. No hookups needed. Just show up curious.
Off-Grid Living
The farm runs almost entirely on solar power — no grid electricity. WKRN News 2 covered how this family lives off-grid in Hickman County, and Concetta's straw bale garden is soon to be featured on PBS Volunteer Gardener.
