Hope to see you at the American Emu Association Convention Hope to see you at the American Emu Association Convention

Welcome to the official website of the Tennessee Emu Association. TNEA was formed in April, 1992 and is one of the many state affiliates of the American Emu Association. Click on our logo above to come back to the home page from any page on this web site.

The Tennessee Emu Association represents an alternative agriculture industry, dominated by the small farmer, who is devoted to humane and environmentally positive practices that will produce beneficial products for society. Emus are raised on feed formulated to optimize growth and in spacious pens providing ample room to grow. When the bird is processed, the layer of fat is removed and refined into a safe and stable oil, used in cosmetic and health products; the low-fat, mild flavored red meat is sold to health conscious consumers; the leather is crafted into beautiful goods. Even the feathers, claws and bones are used in some form or fashion. The Tennessee emu farmer is committed to sound farming practices, bringing the consumer quality products to enhance their lives.

We invite anyone interested in this form of alternative agriculture to visit our farms and sit in on our meetings. New members are always welcome. Interested in joining or wondering why you should? Check out our Members Benefits Page.
