GROWING COMMUNITY
Our farm community consists of campers ranging in age from 3 to 18, church and school groups, and families, friends, and neighbors!
When we come together to
garden and eat, we learn more
about one another, the land,
and life on the earth we all share.

TENDING THE EARTH
As we tend our farm, we look to nature as model. How might we best work WITH nature to produce foods that honor our bodies as well as the soils and streams? How can we be sensitive to the needs and health of our livestock, our wild creatures, our habitats, AND ourselves?

CULTIVATING FAITH
A garden can be a place of learning, solace, friendship,
growth, and renewal.
We hope that our farm will offer you
a place to experience more of God’s love within the context of creation.
