A few years ago, we invited a few students from our local high school to join us and become involved with long-term farm goals. The word got out about what we were doing and the number of students working at the farm grew rapidly. We want as many students as possible to enjoy the farm as much as we do, and the only way to accomplish that is having our community support us through purchasing a “share” of the farm. Please click here to read more about that.
We’re excited for our best summer yet with several students joining us for the season. They will experience everything from start to finish: planting seeds and watching flowers bloom, planning and hosting events, and even organizing vegetable and meat production while keeping track of accounting and marketing. Our hope is they will get a glimpse of managing a small business and will take home important tools for success in their future.
Above all, we find importance in allowing all our animals to feel the sunshine while roaming and munching freely in our pastures. From a chirping chick to a powerful horse, every animal has a purpose.
Combining our passions, caring for animals: farm fresh food, and ministering to others, we have started a student-driven program where we can share what we have learned by teaching teens the ins and outs of running a farm.
We are excited to share our story and experiences with you!
