Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and rooted deep in the South, Pursell Farms offers an unparalleled resort experience steeped in Southern hospitality. Rooted in tradition and steeped in fine hospitality, the Pursell family has been welcoming guests into their homes for decades, and for them, hospitality just comes naturally. Even the foundation for Pursell Farms began with the simple gesture of hospitality around Jimmy and Chris Pursell’s dining room table as a new partnership began to unfurl that would transform their small-town fertilizer company into one of the largest turfgrass industries in the country. Today, Pursell Farms has expanded their reach of southern hospitality from the family home of Jimmy and Chris Pursell into a relaxed, luxury resort destination but with the same gracious hosting the Pursell’s have ushered for years. Every guest that steps foot onto The Farm is promised southern hospitality the “Pursell Way.” Leave your stresses at the front gate and experience the best in rest, relaxation and rejuvenation while you are here at Pursell Farms. After all, you deserve it and we want to deliver it.
