Our dream became a reality when we flipped our city life upside down and purchased a 12-acre farm in the beautiful Mt. Juliet, TN. Our shared passion for animals and desire to provide a sustainable lifestyle for our family drove our “midlife crisis” change in scenery. Thank you for supporting and embracing our family.
Tanya grew up on a cattle and production farm and sharing that farm life with her daughters has been a priority. When you visit the farm you will meet our three daughters, McKenzie, Madelyn, and Marley. McKenzie is a strong leader and is working hard on her organizational skills as the resident Goat Wrangler Extraordinaire. Madelyn, Pig & Pony Patrol, has a kind heart that makes it easy for her to empathize with the animals as they enter the farm’s non-profit animal sanctuary. Marley’s special innocence shines through in almost every activity around Willis Willow Farm and she has earned the title of Master Chicken Whisperer.
The farm is also home to Mules N More Rescue and Rehab , a 501c3 non-profit organization who believes that every animal deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their past circumstance. Through their rescue and rehabilitation efforts, they strive to provide a safe haven for animals in need, offering them a fresh start and a brighter future.
We are excited for you and your family to experience the farm! People visit the farm for many reasons from providing an educational experience for children, a fun weekend activity for visiting friends and family members, or even just to support a local Pick TN Products certified Tennessee farm. From tours, animal encounters, healthy produce options, and farm fresh eggs to events and birthday parties, and everything in between, we have you covered. Willis Willow Farm, along with Mules N More Rescue and Rehab, is a place to relax, find respite, recharge, and possibly unlock the true meaning of life alongside Pickles the farm pig or Benji the resident therapy mule.
Vision Statement
To support our family while creating a farm experience for our community full of healthy produce, fantastically delicious farm fresh eggs and animal encounters with displaced farm animals looking for a safe and loving place to call home.
