The Farm is an intentional community in Lewis County, Tennessee, near the town of Summertown, Tennessee, based on principles of nonviolence and respect for the Earth. Founded in 1971 by Stephen Gaskin and 300 spiritual seekers from Haight-Ashbury and San Francisco, The Farm was the setting for ”the rebirth of midwifery in the United States” and the creation of ”the modern home-birth movement.” The commune maintained The Farm Band, a rock group in the early ‘jam band‘ style, which toured the country performing for free at parks, schools, churches, and other accessible venues.

Farm Band poster appears fine, not examined outside of frame; other poster very good or better with general light wear; outer sleeves of records with general wear and soiling; records themselves near fine or better.
