Imagine waking up to the sound of a stream trickling nearby. The morning light filters through a canopy of trees, the air feels fresh and clean, and there’s a quiet hum of life all around you.

This isn’t just a pretty picture; it’s a way of life that science says is genuinely good for your body and mind.
At Burns Village & Farm, we’re building more than homes. We’re creating a community that lives in harmony with nature, and the benefits go far beyond the view.
Less Stress, More Peace
Spending time around trees, streams, and open skies can lower stress in ways city living simply can’t match. Studies on “forest bathing” (the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku) show that spending time in nature can reduce cortisol (stress hormone), lower blood pressure, and even slow your heart rate. Just a short walk outside your front door here in Burns can give you the same mental reset as a weekend getaway elsewhere.
Better Focus & Mental Clarity
Ever notice how your mind feels calmer and clearer after a walk in the woods? That’s no accident. Researchers call it “attention restoration”; the gentle sounds and sights of nature (like rustling leaves or flowing water) help your brain recover from constant stimulation. You think better, focus longer, and feel less mentally drained.
Stronger Immune System
It turns out, breathing in fresh forest air does more than feel good; it can actually boost your immune system. Trees release natural compounds called phytoncides that have been shown to increase the activity of “natural killer” cells, which help fight off illness. In Burns, you’re surrounded by these living, breathing health allies.
Cleaner Air, Healthier Living
The trees around Burns Village & Farm aren’t just beautiful; they filter out pollutants, improve air quality, and help keep respiratory issues at bay. Add in the clean scent of fresh rain or the earthy smell of leaves after a summer storm, and every breath here feels like a small dose of wellness.
A Stream as Your Neighbor
Living near a healthy stream means more than a pretty view. Riparian buffers, the trees and plants along the water, naturally filter runoff, keeping the ecosystem (and the environment) cleaner and healthier. And research shows that being near water can lower anxiety and promote feelings of calm.
A Healthier, Happier Way to Live
When you live in a place like Burns Village & Farm, you’re not just buying a home, you’re choosing a lifestyle that nourishes your mind, body, and spirit every single day. You’ll know your neighbors, breathe cleaner air, and fall asleep to the gentle soundtrack of nature. Experience the fresh air, peaceful landscapes, and warm community of Burns Village & Farm. You might just find the place you’ve been looking for.

Donna’s Dream: A Medicinal Garden for Burns Village & Farm
Donna, a member of Burns Village & Farm, has a personal vision, a thriving medicinal garden filled with plants that heal, soothe, and nourish in her yard at Burns Village and Farm. Luckily, the climate in Burns, Tennessee, offers the perfect conditions for such a garden to flourish.

Donna, a member of Burns Village & Farm, has a personal vision, a thriving medicinal garden filled with plants that heal, soothe, and nourish in her yard at Burns Village and Farm. Fortunately, the climate in Burns, Tennessee, provides the ideal conditions for such a garden to thrive.
Here in this video, she shares her medicinal garden that she’s growing right now before Burns Village & Farm breaks ground (See her full list below). This is a true passion for Donna.
Situated in USDA Hardiness Zone 7b, Burns’ seasons bring hot, sunny summers, cool, wet winters, and about 53 inches of annual rainfall. This balance makes it possible to grow an abundance of medicinal herbs, many of which have been used for centuries in teas, salves, tinctures, and home remedies.
Among the top contenders for Donna’s personal garden is echinacea, the vibrant coneflower known for its immune-boosting properties and often found in herbal teas and tinctures during cold and flu season.
Chamomile, with its dainty white blossoms, is another must-have, perfect for calming the nerves, aiding digestion, and making a gentle tea that’s even safe for children. For topical remedies, calendula is a powerhouse; its leaves and flowers can be infused into salves to help heal bruises, sprains, and minor skin injuries.
No medicinal garden would be complete without mint, whether spearmint or peppermint, thriving in our humid summers and offering digestive support, respiratory relief, and a refreshing base for teas.
Lavender is another garden star, valued for its calming fragrance and used in everything from sleep aids to skincare products.
Chicory, a great sedative and analgesic, similar to Ibuprofen. The roots, leaves, and seeds can be used for its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties too. Coffee, tea, poultices, and tinctures can be made from this versatile plant.
Finally, purple giant hyssop adds beauty and purpose, attracting pollinators while contributing to soothing herbal blends with its mint-family medicinal benefits.
Central beds of echinacea and chamomile can provide easy access for regular tea harvests. Most of these medicinal plants thrive in sunny areas with well-draining soil and occasional fertilizing. It’s rewarding when you have created a garden that’s as beautiful as it is useful.
Burns Village & Farm is more than just a neighborhood; it’s a heart-centered oasis where sustainable agriculture, intentional living, and connection to the land come together. From our community-supported agriculture program to seasonal workshops and farm gatherings, everything we do is rooted in a love for nature and each other. Donna’s personal medicinal garden is just one more way we’re cultivating a place where health and harmony can grow side by side.
If you’re curious about life at Burns Village & Farm or want to bring your own garden dreams to life, we invite you to learn more. Attend a virtual information session and discover a community where nature’s wisdom is part of daily living, and where every seed planted tells a story of care, connection, and hope for the future.

🌿 Donna’s Full List

Yarrow
“Yarrow: the ancient wound healer. Bleeding stopped, digestion soothed, power in every tiny petal. ✨🍵”
California Poppy
“California Poppy: not just beauty, an infusion for calm nerves and restful sleep. 🌼💤”

“Echinacea: immune defense from seed to tincture. A little plant with big strength against colds and flu. 🌸🧪”

“Calendula: sunshine for your skin. Petals brewed as tea to calm, heal, and restore. 🌞🌼”

“Evening Primrose: a women’s ally. Hormone balance, bruise relief, and quiet strength at dusk. 🌙🌸”
Feverfew
“Feverfew: small but mighty. Headache relief, insect repellent, camomile’s lookalike with a twist. 🌿✨”
Lavender
“Lavender: calm in bloom. Anxiety eased, sleep invited, sip it as tea, breathe it as peace. 💜🌿”
Finding a Home in the Countryside
When some members picture their days once the village is complete, it’s a mix of peaceful solitude and neighborly connection. “I’ll get up and decide if I want company or not. If I do, I can walk out the front door and hang out or head to the common house. If I don’t, I can go out the back door, sit for a while, and enjoy the quiet.”
For many members, the appeal of Burns Village & Farm was clear from the start. “It’s the countryside,” they say without hesitation. “I’ve never been much of a city person. All my adult life, I’ve lived in the country. The fact that this will be rural is really attractive to me. And the people, everyone is so nice. You can just tell it’s going to be a good community.”
Imagining Everyday Life
When some members picture their days once the village is complete, it’s a mix of peaceful solitude and neighborly connection. “I’ll get up and decide if I want company or not. If I do, I can walk out the front door and hang out or head to the common house. If I don’t, I can go out the back door, sit for a while, and enjoy the quiet.”
With sidewalks connecting the homes and shared spaces, getting around will be easy for them. “I won’t be doing a lot of running around because I’m a bit limited in how much I can walk, but I’ll be able to reach the places I want to go. And I can still enjoy the countryside, look out and see the trees and the pastures. That’s what I’m going to love most.”
Discovering CoHousing
What sold some members was the blend of privacy and connection. “Cohousing gives you a community, which is so nice, people you know nearby, but you’re not on top of each other. It’s kind of like neighborhoods used to be years ago, where everybody knew everybody, and you’d gather in someone’s yard. Only here, it’s a bit more condensed, and there’s a common house where you can meet up if you want to. You can be as active or as private as you want.”
The Joy of Sharing Meals
One of the shared experiences members look forward to most is gathering for meals. “That’s when you really get to know people, sharing food, conversation, and being there for the common good of the community. It’s a small system, but you can make it what you need it to be.”
More Connection, Every Day
Life for some can be isolating, and they look forward to the connection they will feel at Burns Village and Farm. “Some days, the only living things I see are my animals, unless I decide to go to town. At Burns Village & Farm, I believe I will just step outside, and there’s a good chance I’ll run into someone. That’s going to make a big difference for me.”
Gardening in a New Way
Some members also envision gardening playing a part in her daily rhythm. Some will create raised beds because at the right height will make gardening easier for them. “I can still do ground gardening, but this way I can keep at it comfortably and enjoy growing things.”
For many, Burns Village & Farm isn’t just a place to live, it’s a place to belong. It’s the countryside they’ve always loved, paired with the kind of community spirit they are ready to embrace.

10 Reasons Why Living in a Rural Cohousing Community Can Transform Your Health & Wellness
At Burns Village & Farm, community is designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. From daily walks in the woods to fresh organic meals harvested from the farm, cohousing offers a way of life that naturally supports your health. Here are 10 reasons why rural cohousing might be the shift you’ve been looking for.
When you imagine a healthier lifestyle, you might think of joining a gym or committing to a new diet. But what if the secret to lasting wellness isn’t another program, but where, and with whom, you live?
At Burns Village & Farm, community is designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. From daily walks in the woods to fresh organic meals harvested from the farm, cohousing offers a way of life that naturally supports your health. Here are 10 reasons why rural cohousing might be the shift you’ve been looking for.
1. Nature Is Your Playground
Instead of squeezing in a quick walk between errands, imagine stepping outside your door into trails, meadows, and wooded paths. Time in nature has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mood. Here, it’s part of daily life.
2. Movement Comes Naturally
Gardening, building, walking, biking, and physical activity are woven into the rhythm of the day. You don’t need to “work out” when moving your body is a natural extension of tending the land and engaging with neighbors.
3. Fresh Food From the Source
Forget long supply chains and labels you can’t decipher. At Burns Village & Farm, meals often come straight from the soil, organic produce, seasonal harvests, and farm-to-table gatherings that remind you what food is meant to taste like.
4. Less Screen Time, More Green Time
Instead of endless scrolling, your evenings might include watching the sunset with neighbors, tending a garden bed, or listening to the pond frogs after a summer rain. The slower pace helps reset your nervous system and quiet mental noise.
5. Daily Social Connection
Loneliness and isolation are leading health risks today. Cohousing flips the script. From spontaneous front-porch conversations to shared meals, you’re surrounded by people who know your name and care about your well-being.
6. Built-In Emotional Support
Life brings challenges, aging parents, stressful jobs, and personal losses. In cohousing, support isn’t something you have to schedule. It’s embedded in the daily fabric of community life, making resilience a collective strength.
7. Shared Spaces for Mindfulness
Whether it’s a meditation circle in the Common House or a quiet nook overlooking the fields, cohousing makes space for reflection. Mindfulness becomes easier when it’s not only personal practice, but community culture.
8. A Culture of Contribution
Helping weed a garden row, cooking for a potluck, or lending a hand with childcare, these small acts of service provide a deep sense of purpose. Research shows that contributing to others boosts happiness and lowers stress.
9. Intergenerational Living
Instead of silos by age or stage, cohousing brings together families, singles, retirees, and children. This diversity creates a rich social fabric and reduces the isolation that often comes with traditional housing models.
10. Living Aligned With Your Values
Sustainability, community, wellness, these aren’t slogans here, they’re everyday practices. When your lifestyle reflects your values, it brings a sense of wholeness that directly contributes to health and well-being.
Cohousing isn’t just about where you live. It’s about how you live, and who you live alongside. If you’ve ever longed for a healthier, more connected life, Burns Village & Farm shows it’s possible to have both community and wellness in one place.

Living in Community & Nature
When you ask any of our members what kind of community Burns Village & Farm is meant to be, they don’t hesitate. They paint a picture of a place where you know your neighbor, not just in passing, but in a way that builds trust, shared experiences, and a real sense of belonging.
When you ask any of our members what kind of community Burns Village & Farm is meant to be, they don’t hesitate. They paint a picture of a place where you know your neighbor, not just in passing, but in a way that builds trust, shared experiences, and a real sense of belonging. It’s not about waving from across the street and forgetting the conversation. It’s about knowing each other’s stories, checking in when someone hasn’t been seen for a while, and being there when help is needed.
That closeness isn’t accidental. Burns Village & Farm is designed for people who want to live with a stronger connection to both nature and the people around them. Members talk about a “shared desire to be closer to nature and farming,” but that phrase goes beyond simply enjoying fresh air or buying local produce. It’s about engaging with the land, whether that’s tending to crops, learning new gardening techniques, or simply walking among the fields and feeling the seasons change. For many here, it’s a return to something they’ve been missing in modern life: the satisfaction of knowing where their food comes from and being part of the process that brings it to the table.
The farm is a hub, but it’s not the only thing tying neighbors together. Members envision a community built around like-minded social interests, spaces where people can gather for farm-to-table dinners, seasonal festivals, workshops, and small events that keep life here lively and connected. These aren’t forced or formal interactions; they grow naturally from the shared values that draw people here in the first place. If you value sustainability, health, and a slower, more intentional way of life, you’ll find people here who feel the same way.
In a world where so many neighborhoods feel disconnected, Burns Village & Farm offers something different. It’s not about retreating from the modern world, but about rethinking what “home” means. Here, the design of the neighborhood encourages interaction, paths that cross often, spaces where people can gather spontaneously, and a rhythm of life that keeps neighbors engaged with one another.
And while the vision includes farming and nature at its heart, it’s also about flexibility. Some residents may be deeply involved in farm operations, while others simply enjoy the benefits, fresh produce, open green spaces, and the peace that comes from living in a place where nature is part of daily life. The common thread is choice: the freedom to participate in a way that fits your lifestyle while still contributing to the whole.
Our members’ words carry a simple truth: this is a place where the connection you have to your surroundings is as important as the roof over your head. It’s about neighbors who feel more like extended family, the shared joy of harvesting the first vegetables of the season, and the comfort of knowing you’re part of something sustainable, not just environmentally, but socially.
Burns Village & Farm isn’t for everyone, and that’s what makes it special. It’s for people who see value in a slower pace, who want to swap more screen time for more green time, and who believe that knowing your neighbor should still mean something. In many ways, it’s a modern answer to an old-fashioned question: What does it mean to truly belong somewhere?
It means living in a place where the land and the people around you matter equally, where community is not a slogan but a way of life, and where every handshake and hello carries the weight of real connection. Burns Village & Farm is that place, a village where the lines between home, nature, and friendship blur into one.

What We’ll Grow Year-Round at Burns Village & Farm
Our organic farm will be the heart of the community, a place where neighbors gather, soil is cared for, and food is grown without pesticides. Our professional farmer will keep the fields productive throughout the year, rotating crops to match the seasons and Tennessee’s climate.
At Burns Village & Farm, our organic farm will be the heart of the community, a place where neighbors gather, soil is cared for, and food is grown without pesticides. Our professional farmer will keep the fields productive all year long, rotating crops to match the seasons and Tennessee’s climate. Some members will be more involved, some will just enjoy the harvest.
Here’s a look at what we might expect from our fields in each season, and why these vegetables are as good for your health as they are for your taste buds.
Spring – Fresh, Green, and Nutrient-Rich
We imagine as winter fades, the fields come alive with cool-season vegetables.
Broccoli, cabbage, and kale – Packed with vitamins C and K, folate, and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
Spinach and peas – Excellent sources of iron, vitamin A, and fiber.
Carrots and parsnips – Sweet, earthy roots rich in beta-carotene for eye health.
Asparagus – A spring delicacy full of antioxidants and B vitamins.
These early crops thrive in the mild spring air and bring vibrant color and flavor to our community tables.
Summer – Sun-Ripened and Flavor-Packed
Warm, sunny days call for heat-loving vegetables that soak up Tennessee’s long summer light.
Tomatoes – Bursting with lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health.
Peppers – High in vitamins C and A, with a range from sweet to spicy.
Eggplants – A source of fiber and phytonutrients that support brain health.
Corn and beans – Together, they make a complete plant-based protein, along with fiber and B vitamins.
Cucumbers and summer squash – Hydrating, crisp, and low in calories.
Summer harvests are abundant, perfect for fresh salads, grilled meals, and preserving for cooler months.
Fall – Crisp Air, Sweet Flavors
As the air cools, we return to hardy greens and root crops that love shorter days.
Kale, spinach, and lettuce – Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Carrots, radishes, and turnips – Roots become sweeter after a light frost, offering vitamin C and potassium.
Cabbage and collards – Dense in nutrients, excellent for soups and braises.
We also plant cover crops like rye and clover in fall to naturally enrich the soil, preparing for the next growing season.
Winter – Hardy Greens Under Cover
Even in the coldest months, our farm keeps producing with the help of simple season-extension methods like row covers and unheated hoop houses.
Spinach, parsley, arugula, and winter kale – Cold-tolerant greens that keep vitamins A, C, and K on our plates year-round.
While much of winter is devoted to resting the soil, planning crops, and adding compost, these fresh greens remind us that farming is never fully dormant.
At Burns Village & Farm, growing food is more than a seasonal activity; it’s a year-round rhythm that connects us to the land, our health, and each other. Whether you’re harvesting kale in February or tomatoes in July, you’ll know exactly where your food comes from and the care that went into growing it.

How Decisions Are Made in Our Community
Unlike traditional HOAs or housing developments, cohousing allows all members to have a voice. Major decisions, such as home construction, shared responsibilities, and sustainability efforts are made collaboratively, not dictated by a single entity or a board of directors.
One of the most unique aspects of co-housing is the consensus-based decision-making process. Brian explains:
“Everything is done with meetings, discussions, and consensus. Everyone has an equal say.”

The Farm Brings Us Together
The founding members of Burns Village & Farm gathered beneath the wide, sheltering limbs of the Mother Oak for a shared potluck picnic on the future home site. Folding chairs circled. Paper plates filled with summer dishes and snacks. Conversations meandered from construction to compost, from personal stories to shared dreams.
Under the Mother Oak: Rooting Community in Shared Soil
Amid a weekend of conversations about design and decisions, one moment grounded everything, not in words or whiteboards, but in presence.
The founding members of Burns Village & Farm gathered beneath the wide, sheltering limbs of the Mother Oak for a shared potluck picnic on the future home site. Folding chairs circled. Paper plates filled with summer dishes and snacks. Conversations meandered from construction to compost, from personal stories to shared dreams.
Some brought family recipes. Others grabbed something en route. It didn’t matter. What mattered was the ritual: showing up with something to share, including food, warmth, ideas, and presence. For a few hours, the land held their laughter, their questions, and their quiet knowing: this is what we’re really building.
But this retreat wasn’t all reflection. It was also rigorous. Members walked the land together, talked through key site features, and moved through a full working agenda:
They explored green building standards with Joe Cooper.
Discussed the path forward with Sandy and John while naming what’s working, what’s unclear, and what comes next.
Showed appreciation for one another by exchanging heartfelt reflections and quiet gestures of support that deepened their sense of connection and community.
Ended the weekend with a formal check-out and a closing reflection on Burns Village & Farm, and its potential, its role, and how to honor it.
And yes, they planted together, not as farmers, but as future neighbors. The act of putting hands in soil was symbolic and a fun shared activity.
The farm will be led by a professional. But this land and this meal under the oak? That was the first layer of something real, a connection made deeper.
Have questions? Good. We’ve got time.

The Loneliness Epidemic. How Cohousing Creates Community
Hear from founding member, Barbara, who considers herself a homebody, but even for someone who enjoys time alone. She recognizes the importance of human connection. She believes that belonging is a fundamental human need, and at Burns Village, that sense of belonging is built into the design of the community itself.
Barbara considers herself a homebody, but even for someone who enjoys time alone, she recognizes the importance of human connection. She believes that belonging is a fundamental human need, and at Burns Village, that sense of belonging is built into the design of the community itself.
One of the biggest issues in modern life is loneliness, not the absence of people, but the absence of meaningful connection.
We’ve built lives that prioritize personal freedom and convenience, but often at the cost of community and daily human interaction.
Many people go days without meaningful interactions, even in neighborhoods filled with people. But cohousing naturally combats loneliness because it’s designed to foster organic, everyday connections.
Burns Village & Farm is designed to change the way we connect as a community, by creating a place where neighbors truly know, support, and grow with each other.
Barbara loves that at Burns Village & Farm, she doesn’t have to go out of her way to find community, it’s right outside her door. Whether it’s chatting with a neighbor on the way home, participating in a community event, or just knowing that help is available when needed, cohousing makes sure that no one feels isolated.

From Zoom Calls to Dirt Under Fingernails: Founders Gather for a Working Retreat
Founding members of Burns Village & Farm gathered in person for a retreat, bringing their vision of a thriving cohousing community one step closer to reality. After many months of Zoom calls and planning sessions, the chance to connect face-to-face felt both grounding and energizing.
On May 17–18, the founding members of Burns Village & Farm gathered in person for a retreat, bringing their vision of a thriving cohousing community one step closer to reality. After many months of Zoom calls and planning sessions, the chance to connect face-to-face felt both grounding and energizing.
The group met at John and Rebecca’s home, where they spent time in nature, shared meals, and strengthened the relationships that will sustain this ambitious project. They held a potluck picnic under the “Mother Oak,” a powerful symbol of rootedness and resilience on the future village site.
One highlight? Getting their hands in the dirt, while planting for fun and connection.
As many of our followers know by now, Burns Village & Farm will have a professional farmer to lead the long-term cultivation, but this lighthearted gardening moment reminded everyone why the land matters.
Throughout the weekend, members spoke honestly about expectations, their shared aspirations, and made space for heart-to-heart conversations and ongoing reality checks.
This wasn’t just a retreat. It was a recalibration and a recommitment to building something extraordinary, together.
The village begins long before the homes are built.
We’ve documented this retreat to let those who are curious to see how the community will work. Sit in on a virtual session and see what it feels like to be part of something real, something rising from the ground up.

Collaborative Decision Making at Burns Village
At Burns Village & Farm, we’re doing more than building homes; we’re co-creating a way of life. One that values mutual respect, shared responsibility, and the collective wisdom of our community.
How We Decide: Collaborative Living at Burns Village
At Burns Village & Farm, we’re doing more than building homes; we’re co-creating a way of life. One that values mutual respect, shared responsibility, and the collective wisdom of our community.
That’s why decisions here aren’t made behind closed doors. They’re made around kitchen tables, in common rooms, on porches and pathways, where neighbors become co-creators of the community they call home.
Why Collaboration Matters
In traditional neighborhoods, decisions about the environment, shared spaces, or even events often fall to a select few or get overlooked altogether. At Burns Village, every voice matters.
We practice collaborative decision making because we believe:
A diversity of perspectives leads to better outcomes
Transparency fosters trust
Shared investment leads to shared success
Whether it’s deciding how to use a shared garden space, hosting a community event, or discussing the future direction of our village, residents work together to shape the outcome.
How It Works
We're guided by modified consensus and sociocratic principles. We practice facilitated group processes. That might sound formal, but at its heart, it’s about listening deeply, responding respectfully, and finding solutions everyone can live with—even when we disagree.
In practice, that looks like:
Circles of involvement: Small action teams discuss specific topics (like coordinating our outreach activities, organizing membership events, and developing agreements about our group processes) and bring proposals to the wider group.
Consent-based decisions: Instead of seeking unanimous agreement, we aim for “good enough for now, safe enough to try” - which helps us move forward without getting stuck.
Rotating roles and shared facilitation: Leadership is distributed, not concentrated.
Not Just a Process, A Practice
Collaborative decision making isn’t always easy. It takes patience, vulnerability, and a willingness to grow. It’s also incredibly rewarding in the way we support one another in sharing who we are and what is important to each of us..
It reminds us that community isn’t something you consume; It’s something you build, with your time, your care, and your voice.
Because in the end, the most sustainable decisions are the ones made together.

Why Sustainability is a Core Value
For John and Rebecca, sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s been his life’s work.“I worked for the EPA and on environmental initiatives. We have to move toward more sustainable living, and cohousing allows us to do that.” Burns Village & Farm is designed to reduce waste, preserve farmland, and will use resources more efficiently whenever possible. By living in Burns Village & Farm, residents gain access to a healthier, greener lifestyle.
For John and Rebecca, Burns Village & Farm isn’t just a housing development, it’s a vision for a more sustainable way to live.
“Well, I come from a sustainability background, both with the EPA, and that's where I worked, and also with the farm, with farming the way it is, the problems that we have with, I'll say, industrialized agriculture. So we need to change those things. We need to move toward where we're more sustainable.” - John
Rebecca has considered herself to be an eco-psychologist for decades. She teaches a graduate course called the Psychology Of Sustainability, and views being connected with planting, cultivating, harvesting, preparing, and sharing food with others is a cornerstone of health and well-being.
Living Lighter on the Land
For John Patrick, sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s been his life’s work.
“I worked for the EPA and on environmental initiatives. We have to move toward more sustainable living, and cohousing allows us to do that.” - John
Burns Village & Farm is designed to reduce waste, preserve farmland, and will use resources more efficiently whenever possible.
By living in Burns Village & Farm, residents gain access to a healthier, greener lifestyle.
For Burns Village & Farm members, sustainability begins with a mindset, one rooted in conservation and collective care.
Located in the heart of Tennessee, our future cohousing agrihood offers an alternative to the isolated, resource-intensive lifestyle many people are eager to move beyond. Here, sustainability isn’t a checklist, it’s a way of living more intentionally, together.
Living With, Not Just Beside, Your Neighbors
Burns Village & Farm is built around the idea that community itself is a sustainable resource. In a world where individual households each replicate the same appliances, tools, and lawnmowers, we're exploring how much more efficient and practical it can be to share.
Residents will have opportunities to collaborate, exchange, and co-create, reducing waste and consumption while strengthening human connection.
Food at the Center
A sustainable farm is at the heart of our community, offering fresh produce and an ongoing relationship with the land. This isn’t just about eating well, it’s about knowing where your food comes from and how it’s grown. For many of us, it’s also a way to get our hands back in the soil and rediscover the rituals of planting, harvesting, and sharing meals.
A Future in Progress
We’re not offering a perfect solution, and we’re not promising a utopia. What we are building is a community of people who care—about each other, about the earth, and about doing things differently. Sustainability here is practical, evolving, and deeply human. It’s about living with intention, sharing resources, and making decisions as a community.

Share a Meal With Friends & Neighbors
This isn’t just a meal, it’s a chance to connect with like-minded people who are dreaming of something different: a more collaborative, sustainable way of living. share a meal
More Than Just Neighbors, A True Community
Both Rebecca and John have lived in traditional neighborhoods and in cohousing—and the difference is striking.
“In a regular neighborhood, you might back your car out of the garage and see a neighbor once in a while. But in cohousing, you have built-in ways to interact—potlucks, shared meals, community projects. You don’t just see your neighbors; you know them.”
The beauty of Burns Village & Farm is that it allows for both privacy and connection:
You have your own home and personal space.
You have a network of neighbors who support each other.
You participate in shared activities—if and when you want to.

Rediscovering Community: Why I Chose Cohousing Near Nashville
Diane Scher grew up in a small, close-knit community in New York, where kids could roam freely, eat dinner at their friends’ houses, and parents never had to worry. But as she moved through life, that sense of true community became harder to find.
A Neighborhood That Felt Like Home
Diane Scher grew up in a small, close-knit community in New York, where kids could roam freely, eat dinner at their friends’ houses, and parents never had to worry. But as she moved through life, that sense of true community became harder to find.
“I never found that again after we moved. When I was raising my child in Nashville, everything was so isolated. You go into your garage, close the door, and that’s that.”
This longing for deeper connections, safety, and shared experiences led her to Burns Village & Farm. She wanted to create the type of environment she once knew—where people look out for one another and kids can safely grow up with a village around them.
Burns Village & Farm isn’t just about housing, it’s about reviving the spirit of community in a world that often feels disconnected.
