The Donnell family is pleased to announce the opening of DONNELL CENTURY FARM * an educational program comprised of interactive activities involving plant and animal science.

This "AGedemics program" gives students a chance to explore in an outdoor laboratory by performing hands-on activities that allow them to learn about agriculture in a FUN and EXCITING way.



"It is important to provide a link between urban and rural life styles."

The Donnell family is hostinged school field trips and farm tours because we believe it is important to provide a link between urban and rural life styles. We love our farm tradition. We enjoy teaching children and introducing them to the interesting aspects of life on the farm. We are committed to teaching the importance of agriculture and contrasting the agriculture of the past with today’s high-tech agriculture. It is because of this rich agricultural heritage and the commitment to provide opportunities for hands-on farm experiences, that we begin this new venture that is both FUN and EDUCATIONAL.

DONNELL CENTURY FARM John Donnell settled this farm in 1834. In 1976, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture designated our Donnell Farm a Century Farm and awarded us a Century Farm plaque.

To be listed as a Century Farm the farmers must have worked land that has continuously belonged to their families for at least 100 years!
