FARMWORK
 
The Homeplace is a working history farm. Most of our crops and livestock are
historic varieties from the mid-19th century, grown and harvested using period tools and techniques.
Our farm produces corn, tobacco, sheep and hogs. If this really were the mid-19th century, we would probably market our goods in town, at the river boats, or upriver in big cities like Nashville and Memphis.
When you visit us in person, you might see the menfolk working oxen, harvesting and curing tobacco, shucking corn or repairing a farm building. They'll even let you lend a hand at the walking plow or help repair a fence.
