Here at Haven Village we have turned our 216 acre property into an innovative and economic model to secure a resilient future for our members. We are on a fast track, combining decades of experience in Residential Design, Master Planning and Project Management to meet our goals.
Haven Village is a Private Membership Association and the home of the Haven Earth Trade School located in East Tennessee. Our land is secured in a Private Irrevocable Natural Common Law Trust. Each residential member receives a Unit of Beneficial Interest for their right to build lot which can be sold or transferred to another member.
Numerous toxins emanate from the materials we build and furnish our homes with combined with a construction industry that aims to seal our buildings as airtight as possible, has resulted in an epidemic of air-quality related health issues and high levels of mold sensitivity. This is why we partnered with Biohouse and the Haven Earth Trade School to build healthy homes with bio-based, non-toxic building materials - specifically Hemp Lime. It is a vapor-permeable wall, floor and roof system that is changing the way we think and feel about our homes that is mold, fire, and pest resistant and has highly insulative properties.
Haven Village is a lighthouse project - guiding the way to a positive future. An exit strategy to give you hope and peace of mind. Becoming a Resiliency Member allows you to be a part of a freedom-minded community taking the steps to ensure food sovereignty and energy independence - right now. Attend one of our upcoming Resiliency Immersions to experience what we are up to and see for yourself if this might be a place you can call home.
The Resiliency Immersion is a 5 day program to gain a deeper understanding of what we are up to and if it aligns with your values. We begin Thursday afternoon with the first part of the land tour of our Farmstead where all the action is! Welcome Dinner starts at 6pm and is a great time to meet current residents and like-minded others interested in a new model for returning to the land. You are sure to meet some new best friends during your visit! To get started, fill out a brief questionnaire so we can learn a bit more about you here.
Friday morning we will explore the local farmers market and one of our favorite nature waterfall spots near one of the three rivers in this region. Head back in the afternoon for a snack and part two of the Haven Village Residential Neighborhood Tour and design overview with River. Evening cookout and campfire closes the night with the sounds of guitars being plucked, laughter and voices singing together over the crackling fire.
Saturday morning join us in the barn at 8am if you want to participate in our morning animal routine or just relax and hang out in the community kitchen for biscuits and morning coffee or tea. We will meet at 9am for our community hands-on farmstead project followed by a farm fresh brunch at 11am. Imani & River will give a thorough presentation in the afternoon and here will be plenty of time to get all of your questions answered.
There’s more of course….come find out for yourself! We have found that intimate gatherings like these allow us to dive deeper and really get to know one another - which is more important than ever these days. There are many places where you can get to know your neighbors before moving in!

We only serve organic and local food and take great pride that we are able to source so many things from our neighboring farmers and our own land! A big part of our resiliency plan is food security and we have been implementing systems since we stepped foot on the land 2 years ago. The existing infrastructure from the working farm established fifteen years ago gave us a great start. Our land is fertile, our forests are filled with wild foods and we have enough pasture to feed our animals. In just two years, we have grown our livestock herds, learned how to milk and make cheese and are growing our gardens year round. We have partnered with local farmers to grow our food network and there are multiple year round farmers markets in the area.
Our accommodations are simple and comfortable. Our glamping cabins connect you with the elements (think camping) yet feature hemp wool mattresses and linens, have electricity (lights, fan, a/c and heat). They are located in the heart of the farm so prepare to wake with the roosters and be lulled to sleep by nighttime critters. Shared bathhouse is a 5 minute walk. For families or those desiring more privacy or space, we have a limited number of yurts and tiny hemp home (with kitchen and bathroom) available for an extra fee.
Old Fort, Tennessee is a hidden gem. Located in Polk County, it is surrounded by the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains offering breathtaking views and access to a variety of outdoor activities from hiking and camping to fishing and white water rafting. The property borders the Cherokee National Forest, the largest tract of public land in Tennessee stretching from Chattanooga to Bristol along the North Carolina border. The 640,000-acre forest lies in the heart of the Southern Appalachian mountain range and is remarkably diverse. It is home to more than 20,000 species of plants and animals and contains 150 miles of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the notable scenic Ocoee and Conasauga Rivers nearby.
