OUR BENEFITS
Southall Farm and Inn is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. Southall provides equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees and does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, transgender, national origin, status as a protected veteran, disability or any other classification protected by law.

Southall is the evolution of traditional Southern hospitality, an authentic working farm with an inn, restaurant, and spa just outside of Nashville on over 325 acres of lush and rolling hills. This is a place of gathering, connection, and nature, where guests are nurtured and nourished, inspired by innovation and education. Here, curiosity leads to learning, learning leads to understanding, and understanding leads to new possibilities—culminating in a deep, meaningful experience for all.
The journey of a seed, touched by earth, water, and sunlight, supported and cared for until it is primed to achieve its purpose; the journey of a visitor, perhaps seeking relaxation, connection, or reflection, offered the space and guidance necessary to explore and grow; the journey of this land itself, a vast tract that holds its traditions even as it is transformed into a place to discover, to learn, to revel.
