About Us
Old Tobacco Barn
RiverView Mounds is a certified TN Century Farm. A Century Farm is one that has been owned & farmed by the same family for at least 100 years. Our farm is celebrating its 175th birthday this year! We hope that you will join us in celebrating this very special event.
We are the sixth generation of Rineharts to live on and farm this beautiful land. We are so proud to share our history with you.
Pappy's Old Tractor
It began in 1833 when our great-great-great grandfather, Jacob W. Rinehart came to Tennessee from North Carolina. He purchased 130 acres to raise corn and livestock. Through the years our family has raised soybean, corn, tobacco, wheat, sorghum, hay, cattle, hogs & chickens. Since Jacob purchased the first parcel, the farm has grown to over 300 acres!
Three generations of Rineharts: John Boyd, Steve, Chris & Miles
In May of 2006 brothers, Chris & Steve, inherited the farm from their father, John Boyd. Unsure of exactly which way to proceed, we contemplated various options. It should be mentioned that selling the farm was NEVER an option!
In October of 2006, we (Chris & wife, Scarlett) attended a field trip to
Bottom View Farms with our son's kindergarten class. Once there, we immediately knew we found our calling! Agritourism combined our two favorite things: families and agriculture. Steve loved the idea of sharing our blessing with the community. Since then, we have been working hard to get ourselves ready for your arrival.
We continue to raise hay, but have decided to diversify. We will plant our first acre of blueberries in Spring of next year & our first two acres of grapes went in this Spring.
We look forward to raising fresh produce for purchase at the local farmer's market.
