Guided & Self-Guided Experiences

Guests are welcome to explore the homestead through both guided and self-guided experiences. Guided homestead walks offer a relaxed way to learn about the farm, with shared stories, practical farm knowledge, and insights into our animals and gardens. For those who prefer independence, self-guided trails allow visitors to wander at their own pace, discovering quiet spaces to read, meditate, or simply enjoy nature. Gentle, supervised animal interactions are also available, creating respectful and meaningful connections with select animals.

Gardens & Harvest

Spend time in our welcoming garden spaces with opportunities to plant, explore, and harvest fresh vegetables and fruits when available. Our gardens are designed to be calm and approachable, inviting visitors to connect with the soil, plants, and seasonal rhythms of the land. Depending on the season, produce may also be available for purchase so you can bring the flavors of the homestead home.

Farm Store Offerings

During your visit, you may have the opportunity to explore seasonal farm store offerings. Select vegetables and fruits are available when in season, along with fresh eggs from our chickens, guinea fowl, and ostriches. From time to time, select livestock lovingly raised on the homestead may also be available for purchase.

Outdoor Adventure

Our 25-acre homestead offers plenty of space to explore through guided walks or self-guided trails. Guests are encouraged to enjoy peaceful outdoor areas designed for reading, reflection, prayer, meditation, and bird watching. Picnic and accessible gathering areas are available throughout the property, providing comfortable spaces for families to share meals and spend time together, thoughtfully designed to support a wide range of mobility needs and comfort levels.

Coming Soon

We are continuing to thoughtfully grow and expand our homestead experiences. Upcoming additions include camping areas, shaded seating, and improved walking paths to support safe and calm exploration. We are also developing Movie Night Under the Stars, a family-friendly outdoor movie experience, and a life-size traditional-style teepee that will offer space for learning, reflection, and cultural connection.
