About Ingham Farm
Nestled at the foot of Gum Springs Mountain in Sparta, Tennessee, Ingham Farm is a family-run homestead dedicated to sustainable growing, natural preservation, and Southern community traditions. Home to a flowing spring, rich Appalachian soil, and a growing collection of historical artifacts, our farm is more than a place to grow — it’s a place to connect, remember, and restore. We raise our crops and animals the old way — chemical-free, respectful of the land, and with a deep appreciation for the people who came before us.

John & JoBeth Ingham moved from Texas to Sparta, TN in 2024 with a dream of sustainability and clean eating while they started their family, and getting involved with local bartering, as well as selling the surpluss of their production at low cost to families looking to eat clean, but being unable to do so with the rising cost of living we’re all experiencing.

Frequently Asked Questions We Get
Are you certified organic?
No, because the certification would drive costs up significantly. We are transparent about how we grow our plants, and raise our animals. We can also provide you with the exact products we use.
Can we visit Ingham Farm?
Potentially. We are very protective of our animals that provide for our family. If you are interested in visiting, please reach out and we can begin a discussion of all details, or stay in touch for events we host at the farm.
Is the spring public land?
The Ingham Farm spring and creek are only in our property and though you cannot “own” bodies of water, theres no public access to get to it. If you’d like to see it yourself, please reach out. Otherwise, it is considered trespassing without permission.
Can I hunt on Ingham Farm property?
Potentially. This land is a sacred place for our family and our neighbors who share property lines and resources in our community. If you’d like to hunt here, reach out and we can talk about what and when to see if we can make it work. Though it’s our family farm, we want the beauty to be a non-exclusive experience to us — within reason.
