In all of this, we will honor our creator and seek his wisdom and guidance-he has a lot to say!

And what visit to a beautiful, regenerative farm would be complete without a farm tour! Farmer Thad will take us on a fun tractor ride around the farm so we can see how they run their regenerative farm, visit their farm animals, and share stories of their family's life. The farm tour is always a highlight for attendees - both young and old!
​
This event is open to the whole family, we'll have a wonderful kids program with activities, crafts, storytelling, and farm adventures!
