Renting CDF Haley Farm

The Children's Defense Fund purchased the former Alex Haley Farm intending to create an ideal setting for spiritual renewal, leadership training, and character development. We host organizations that affirm they will play a role in the CDF mission, and that agree to keep CDF Haley Farm as a smoke-free, drug and alcohol-free, violence-free, hate-free, loving environment in doors and outdoors. Many organizations rent the Farm for one day, others for multiple days. On the Farm, our Haley Lodge seats 85 for meals, the Riggio-Lynch Chapel seats 250, and three other buildings offer space for smaller groups. We also have housing for 40 and several nearby hotels can accommodate larger numbers. The Haley Farm Gift Shop can also be available for your events. Please contact Haley Farm at (865) 457-6466 or cdfhaley@childrensdefense.org to learn more about scheduling your organization’s event.

Step Up and Take Action for Tennessee Children

Children's Defense Fund-Tennessee (CDF-TN) is building a Cradle to Prison Pipeline^® Campaign in local communities across the state by:

• educating communities about the pipeline and the feeder systems into it,
• gathering people to discuss strategies for dismantling the pipeline, and
• taking action within communities to dismantle the pipeline and leave no child behind.

CDF-TN also continue to build support across the state for CDF's Health Coverage for All Children Campaign to provide all children with health care coverage including full access to TNCare and CoverKids programs for all eligible children.
