“I fell in love with Tennessee when Itook the kids out therein October to visit my friend and nutritionist Cara Clark who had recently moved out there,” Christina said.
The group stayed atA&E Farm, a luxurious farmhouse vacation rental on a 10-acre property 30 miles south of Nashville, and Christina and her children fell in love with all the fresh air and open space.
“Tennessee is gorgeous and the people out there are so nice,” she said. “Being out there on all that land reminded me of my favorite childhood memories, which were staying summers on my grandparents’ farm. I felt so carefree and loved taking out their quads and hanging with my cousins on all the land.”

“I love that the coop matches our house and has so much space, so we can get endless amounts of chickens and roosters,” Christina said in the episode.
Like the house, the coop features black and white paint and a double gable roof. Josh worked with a contractor to make his wife’s designs for the structure a reality.
