Our Family Farm Philosophy
We are a family farm that consists of three generations of brand new farmers. Yep, you read that right. We all left city life and suburbia to begin a new adventure on 43 acres in West Tennessee.
Here at Mabel's Meadow Farm we endeavor to return to former farming and ranching practices that allow for natural biodiversity. It's a return to a Charlotte’s Web kind of barnyard.
Our goal is for humans, plants and animals to share natural resources, each adding its own unique footprint to the whole endeavor. The end result is a family farm that is more resilient and self-sustaining, while providing a higher harvest yield.
We invite all those who desire to simplify their lives to share ideas and expertise. Help us build a network of like-minded pioneers.
RABBITS HAVE ARRIVED!

Great Pyrenees Puppies
SOLD!
The Great Pyrenees is a livestock guardian dog from the Pyrenees Mountain region of France. They are well known for being gentle and majestic and yet fiercely protective over their charge, whether it be sheep, goats, chickens, cattle or even children.
These faithful protectors will guard farm and family from a wide range of predators including coyote, wolves, bobcats, raccoons, foxes, and overhead predators such as hawks .
These gentle giants work best in pairs on large farms, however one may be sufficient to patrol a smaller area.
It has been said that one Great Pyrenees dog will give its life protecting its charge, but two or more will not be challenged by any predator, not a bear, mountain lion or even a pack of wolves.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
Genesis 1:31 KJV
OUR GOALS ARE QUITE SIMPLE :
