About
“A neighborhood within a neighborhood.” - Ross ChapinSweetgrass is our vision for a farm-to-table community near Nashville, Tennessee.
Principles
Grounding our project, guiding our decisions.
PURPOSE
To create the first farm-to-table community near Nashville, TN that is focused on serving active seniors, young families, and those with mild disabilities.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is not just for the environment, but is fundamental to community life. We see being a part of nature and land as a necessary and missing component from modern life.
COMPASSION
Our caring for the land fosters our caring for one another. As roots grow, so does our relationship with each other. We value community.
People We Serve
Sweetgrass is a community of people who value diversity of age, abilities and race.
Active Seniors
The heart of any great community are its wisest members! We seek to take an active role in the minds of our younger members, by taking a leadership role in the community.
Vulnerable Among Us
People with mild disabilities, children aging out of foster care and highly functioning young adults with autism will get the support they need to navigate the complexities of life.
Young families
The spirit of community is in our children. Find an alternative way of raising a family in an environment that fosters connection with the land and people around you.
