Our Mission

Immerse yourself in the sustainable oasis of Fork Inn Retreat, where we embody a mission centered on four key principles:

  1. Stewardship Experience: Whether you choose an entire house or a room within a shared space, explore the Center for Sustainable Stewardship's Farm Store and Big East Fork Organic Farms. Opt to be a Steward, following our Guest Guidelines for Intentional Agritourism Communities. A dedicated CSS Stewardship Liaison ensures you're aligned with our sustainable mission.

  2. Nature-Infused Events: Collaborate with the Center for Sustainable Stewardship to make your event as sustainable as desired. CSS (cssfamily.org) imparts sustainable education, offering farm-to-table dinners, farm tours, animal encounters, guided nature hikes, mushroom hunts, kayaking, canoeing, and bicycle tours.

  3. Conservation Partnership: We join forces with the Big East Fork Nature Conservancy to protect the valley and uphold regenerative principles, including fostering forests (Mangroves, Proforestation, Peatlands, Agroforestry, Fire Ecology, Bamboo), rewilding (Beavers), and supporting local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).

  4. Community Integration: Forge connections with Nashville/Franklin through our commitment to people, land, and the city. Rediscover a sustainable lifestyle that harmonizes with nature at Fork Inn Retreat.
