Nestled in the rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mayapple Acres is a 13-acre farm in Northeast Tennessee built on an old idea made new again: that people who take care of the land, and each other, can weather almost anything.
Therapy Services
Our farm offers a place where wisdom and healing can emerge as therapy leaves the office and enters the natural world. Our beloved horse partners call this place home, and their gentle presence is woven into every part of the work we do here.
A beautiful horse barn serves as the heart of Mayapple Acres. It is full of life and offers a setting unlike any traditional therapy office. Whether you are drawn to equine-assisted therapy or nature-based healing, this is a sanctuary space where you can deeply exhale.
Group Events
We are building a place where organizers, artists, and everyday people can rest, learn practical skills, and find each other, so that the work of protecting democracy and community doesn't happen in isolation.
This is a farm for people who believe the answer to hard times is closer neighbors, deeper roots, and the courage to stand up for each other.
Our Values & Mission
Guided by deeply rooted Appalachian values, this farm is stewarded by people who believe in hard work, self-reliance, taking care of your neighbors and service to a greater good.
We are committed to tending the land with reciprocity rather than extraction, building a community that can withstand hard times, and giving the people who fight for a fairer, freer future a safe place to land.
We are so glad you found your way here.
