Claims that the Farm hosts 'famous midwives' and one of its founders was a 'mother of modern midwifery' must be sourced at the least, this looks like a very distinct POV. Certainly, there are probably other claimants to the throne of 'mother of modern midwifery?' Kit 03:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I think the NPOV tag is useful for an editor who wishes to raise questions about the neutrality of an article but does not have the expertise to fix the topic themselves, which is the case here with myself. I do not have the ability to determine whether someone is a mother of modern midwifery or anything similar. Someone who is knowledgeable about midwifery should be the one to handle that, IMHO. As to the first statement I will try to make some improvements. Kit 08:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I also feel that the entry on the Farm could benefit from more discussion on Ina May's contribution to the field of midwifery. She IS considered the "mother of modern midwifery," although I do not at this time have a source for that title. However, probably every midwife working in the USA today knows her name and she has had a maneuver named for her--the Gaskin maneuver for managing shoulder dystocia during delivery. She has written two books on midwifery, Spiritual Midwifery and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. Spiritual Midwifery includes birth stories from women who delivered on the Farm with Ina May and the other midwives there. AnnaMalena (talk) 23:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Consider the following:
132.192.6.64 13:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC) Then there is the claim that all communication was by CB Radio... what about the switchboard? I know we had telephones in the mid-late 70s... and under 18 teens were not supposed to smoke... though I'll admit there was undoubtedly a lot slipped off the household tray and I know of patches out in the woods... and Ice-Bean was more than a 1 year experiment... Farm Foods of Texas (at the Austin Farm) made a business out of it. ttyl Frank of the Dogwood Blossom (aka Dogwood 1, next to the Dogwood Rd. Solar House, and later the Austin Farm).
I see a link for Lawerence Co. Just noting that the Farm is in Lewis Co. --jidanni
Summerville, the closest town, is in Lawrence. Can you provide a citation that it is in Lewis? Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 11:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
The Farm, in fact, is in Lewis County. See this page: http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=T082
The Farm land is entirely geographically located entirely within the borders of Lewis County, as can be clearly seen on any Lewis County map. The town of Summertown, on the other hand, is not at the same geographic location as The Farm. Baleywik 2021

Added a technology section, since The Farm seemed to be quite vocal from the beginning about making technology work for them whenever possible. The section begs for more researched information about the "Appropriate Technology" and Alternate Energy themes, which historically seemed to have been an important factor in the philosophy of The Farm. This seemed to be somewhat of a departure from the typical hippie back-to-nature spiritual movement of the early 1970s. Also, it appears from some oral history, that they were into such things as the use of early portable reel-to-reel video tape for recording events, building of huge sound systems for concerts, recording studios, FM radio station WUTZ, etc. Sadly, the general impression is, that the whole article is somewhat haphazard, needs better formatting, and certainly cries for more cites. At this point, there are a multitude of books, newspaper, web, and media articles available for citation references on the subject of The Farm. Baleywik (talk) 19:11, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

The article doesn't mention farming as an activity at the Farm. Given the name and the passing mention of opening a vegetable store, it seems likely that there is/was some farming being done, but it would benefit the article to have more information on the type and scale of farming.Dialectric (talk) 10:50, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

MTW has been in CAT:NN's crazy backlog for over 11 years. It doesn't have the coverage for a stand-alone article, but it would be a shame to delete when a merge is a suitable WP:ATD. Boleyn (talk) 10:58, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
One sentence reads"
""For a community to exist in harmony and balance, both kinds of energy had to be nurtured, and most importantly shared.""
(Although it appears that this quote is from Stephen Gaskin, it is unattributed in the text.)
But there has been no recent mention of two kinds of energy in the article, so it is entirely unclear which "two kinds of energy" are referred to here. 2601:200:C000:1A0:DD91:A900:A86F:27B0 (talk) 01:33, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
