    FREE LAND for positive productive people to use to do cool things......There is 21 acres of land in TN that people are free to use and live on. The land is there to help those that want to help others. So if you have something that you want to do but need land to do it, now you have land.....there is a 9 acre field two creeks a pond a spring box and a well ....there is no house but lots of good camping and anyone's welcome to build a dwelling...I would like to see this land turn into a community of people that not only helps each other but others to and a place where travelers can go for rest, resources and learning or a home base if they need one. I want to grow enough food to eat, sell, and give to disaster relief and gatherings.....we have big plans to do awesome things and even though we have already accomplished a lot we have a lot more to do. What we need is building materials so we can finish the barn, build more shelter for travelers, a roadside farm stand, a green house and other things . Homesteading supplies to help us live off the grid. and a tractor so we can grow so much more food.....we really want a tractor!!. Money......ya we need money and people that want to work on projects. especially next spring. There is so much we can do if we work together. Come on out, this is a big project and we need all the help we can get........ if you do come out you should be willing to make conscious effort to get along with others and be respectful. this is not land that people can do any thing they want this is not a party squat. there is a core crew that helps govern and keep the land on track. others are encouraged to have input and if you prove yourself to be down you will become core crew. there is no max size for core crew.

    IF the op is talking about the "Shut Up And Grow It" land, here's their website: http://shutupandgrowit.org/

    There are 2 Lafayettes in TN. My mapping program shows the "SUAGI" address in Macon county.

    If the weather isn't too terrible, I'm thinking of stopping in on my way south after my gig with Amazon in Campbellsville, KY. It's too far north for me to spend the winter without an electrical hook up but for a few days... I'd like to see what it they're talking about and they might appreciate some additional groceries.

    Starting something like that has to be difficult. Twenty years ago when the Amish were moving into the area where I lived, they sold rocks (silly "English" will buy anything) to keep some of the farms afloat until their experienced farmers could provide for themselves.

    you should consider taking a trip to manchester Tn to a place called hippie hill, its a commune thats been going i believe since the early 80's so they pretty much have a good model to go on as far as ideas for farming animals they have a store and a school its a cool place. i know they used to have concerts on the weekends were they would all chill and take a break not sure if they do it anymore, but regardless its a nice place to check out just be careful driving up the mountain one side is just straight up backwoods rednecks if you catch my drift, the commune is on the other side of them.
