To provide a peaceful farming environment in which to introduce individuals with job and life challenges to farming and livestock production as career choices through skill-building and job training. We believe: • that farming and husbandry practices can be therapeutic as well as practical careers; • that fiber arts can encourage healing in minds and hearts; • that interaction with alpacas and other docile animals is good for the human soul; • that the spirit, soul and body all need equal attention to produce true wholeness; • that The Good Shepherd desires wholeness for all Creation. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10b
