Connecting with the creator through his creation
While there’s much we don’t know about regenerative agriculture (or this website!) we find great joy welcoming others to our little peninsula to learn alongside us.
Our Purpose
We believe one of the greatest ways for young and old alike to connect with their Creator is through His amazing, orderly creation. Our purpose is to facilitate that through hosting homesteading classes, school field trips and hands-in-the-dirt nature experiences as well as providing a quiet retreat for individuals or families to come rest and experience their own renaissance.
Classes at The Ark Farmstead
Butchering
& Charcuterie
Learn how to process pigs with time-tested methods that offer efficient and sustainable ways to provide food for your table and freezers. Or, learn the arts of cold-smoking and curing meats to round out the culinary experiences you can provide for your family and friends.
Beekeeping
Interested in adding an apiary to your homestead? This class will teach you exactly how to start and do so with treatment-free care. These classes are very limited in size so all participants truly get some time for one on one mentoring and a hands on experience. Taught by a master beekeeper, this class guarantees to have something for everyone, whether you’ve been stung a hundred times or are a new-bee.
sourdough breadmaking
Few things grace a spread of food as well as a perfect loaf of artisan bread taking center stage. Not everyone has the confidence to try their hand at creating this daunting masterpiece on their own, so we think a bread making class is a great place to get outside your comfort zone and prove to yourself that you too can become an accomplished sourdough queen!
