A Little About Us
Located in a beautifully renovated original school house of The Farm community, the conference center offers an interesting and unusual venue for week long and weekend events.
Most of the community’s 1750 acres is preserved in beautiful hardwood forest. Our guests enjoy leisurely strolls, strenuous hikes, creek walks, and swimming in season.
Facilities
The Educational Conference Center is the heart of the community. It can comfortably seat 120 people.
The Solar School
The Solar School, the largest passive solar building in the state of Tennessee, is located just steps away. It can sometimes be utilized to provide 4 additional classrooms, as well as a daycare room.
Our outdoor stage and fairgrounds, dormitory building and camping areas complete the 20 acre campus.
Accommodations
The Wooden School (the first Farm High School) now houses two dorm rooms, each with several single beds.
Hoot Owl Hollow Hostel right next door also has dorm rooms with bunk beds, and a few single rooms. Several homes rent rooms or have small cabins. There are also several Airbnb’s close by. Check our list of accommodations here.
Camping is available either in a walk in wooded area behind the conference center, or a “keep your vehicle with you” area. Both locations have access to water, showers, and toilets.
Motels are located in Columbia TN., 40 min. north, Mount Pleasant, 20minutes north, and Lawrenceburg, 20 min. south.
Cuisine
The FECC has earned a renowned reputation for delicious vegan recipes. People come back year after year asking for our “ice bean” ice cream made from soy milk. Roberta, our main chef has been perfecting her vegan recipes for over twenty years.
We guarantee the meals will be the highlight of your visit. We can also cater to special diets. Fast food and crafts are available at The Farm store, a pleasant 1 mile walk from the Community Center.
