The Secret Sanctuary
a Co-Op Farm
Our vision is to have a little community that’s Christ-centered, where members help nurture one another’s talents and giftings in a natural farm/sanctuary setting. A secret place to disentangle from the worries of the world by connecting with the heart of God in the midst of His creation.
Deeper Connections, Deeper Peace, Deeper Revelation
Look deeper than the surface. When we seek to engage, observe, ask questions and learn, whether it be from other human interaction, or sitting peacefully in nature, or “connecting” with animals when you look them in the eye — we somehow become different. More fulfilled, more complete. This is not just a farm, y’all.

VRBO a la naturelle!
Stay in a floating tent on the river, or on the shore.
Originally designed after prairie wagons which were used by settlers of the western United States, this design is perfect for a permanent tent structure.
Fitted with either a mesh mosquito netting or a removable waterproof tarp, you can weather a storm or enjoy the stars!
Made from recycled materials and eco-friendly.
Love them now, love them later!
They are rooting hog that takes about three years to grow out to full maturity of 250-300 lbs.
We also raise IPP, which stands for Idaho Pasture Pigs.
They are non-rooting breed, (based on the flatter snout) also a heritage breed, and they take about a year to grow out.
They are the most docile of all pig breeds and we raise them for that reason, so they can be part of our hands-on petting farm.
Contrary to popular belief, eggs do not have to be refrigerated after they are layed.
God has made them with two unique enzymes. One on the outside and the other is on the inside of the egg. These enzymes preserved the egg for up to 30 days without being refrigerated.
At this time, we are crossing a number of different breeds of chickens to produce a larger more healthy egg.
We also raise quail for both meat and eggs.

Team of
Volunteers
That would be you. We like to share the wealth of opportunities that will enrich your life, build relationship, and improve our (collectively) Co-Op Farm.
Volunteering can happen without membership, but membership cannot happen without volunteering. Seems backwards, right? The best ways often are.
