Inspired by the Catholic Worker Movement, our mission is to offer fresh produce, hospitality, and ecological education to anyone in material or spiritual poverty. We manage our land as a practice of integral ecology, where people in can learn the satisfying work of farming and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We use organic practices to grow dozens of types of veggies and fruits, we donate a substantial portion of our food to local pantries, and we host community events to connect neighbors to one another.

We host volunteers and interns through WOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) where people help on the farm in exchange for food, housing and education. The farm is also home to a flock chickens, a herd of milk goats, a team of oxen in training, a farm cat, and lots of wildlife.
