Farm Life

While farm life has always been an integral part of our culture,

heritage and economy, its role in the realm of tourism has become increasingly popular, particularly in Tennessee. Here in Loudon County we’ve been able to combine agriculture and tourism in a variety of ways, resulting in an engaging and enjoyable experience for visitors.

  • The farm, which is located between Loudon and Philadelphia, is in the heart of Southeast Tennessee’s dairy-rich Sweetwater Valley, known for its agricultural vitality and progress.

    Sweetwater Valley Farm’s cheese is now produced in a state-of-the-art facility but owner and 2022 Farmer of the Year, John Harrison has preserved the fine art and craft of making cheese in the traditional farmstead way to create the highest quality cheddar cheese.

    Visitors can stop by the farm store to sample one of the many award-winning cheeses and see where they’re made.
