About us

Nestled in the valley of Lookout Mountain, Quail Run Farm is the place where simple joys of life meet sustainable living. Founded by Joe and Rachel Riley in 2022, Quail Run Farm began with a love for the land and a vision to create something for their future family. When they found the property from a couple no longer able to maintain it, Joe and Rachel recognized the beauty and potential of this farm—both in the landscape and in the stories it could tell.

Starting with a small flock of chickens, the Rileys quickly grew their operation, expanding to raise black angus cattle. Along the way, they acquired a neighboring farm that specialized in red wattle hogs and turkeys, allowing Quail Run Farm to become a hub of regenerative agriculture in the Chattanooga area. Now, they have a diverse fauna to include cattle, hogs, chickens, hens, ducks, quail, guineas, horses, and more. The focus at Quail Run has always been sustainability—nurturing the land through regenerative practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and humane animal treatment.

The vision for Quail Run Farm extends beyond just food production. Joe and Rachel, both passionate about connecting people with the land, also wanted to offer an experience that would allow guests to slow down, reconnect with nature, and appreciate the hard work that goes into running a farm. This led to the creation of a one-of-a-kind agrotourism experience, where visitors can stay in cozy yurts, modern tiny homes, charming cabins, or even innovative grain bin silo homes.

Guests who come to Quail Run Farm are invited to experience farm life firsthand. Whether you're waking up to the sounds of birds singing in the morning or watching the cows graze in the pasture, every moment at Quail Run is a chance to reconnect with nature. During your stay, you can take guided farm tours, learn about regenerative farming practices, and interact with the animals—feeding the chickens, petting the pigs, or even helping with the morning chores. It's a peaceful and immersive experience that leaves guests with a newfound respect for where their food comes from and how they can support sustainable practices in their own lives.
