The Beginning of the Church Farm Blog

Here we go!

How do you start a church with no budget? How do we realize our vision of Green Desert Sanctuary and make it a physical reality?

I'm going to go with faith. And maybe throw in some dedicated work with the Law of Attraction.

Meanwhile, we keep plugging away at the farm, turning it into the Church Farm. We bought another milk goat this past week. She is still in milk. She's a big girl named Jewell--Alpine cross. Our big billy won't leave her alone. So, she's sectioned off in the llama barn for a few days until she can get used to us at least. We are debating moving the billy off by himself somewhere so the girls can have some peace.

So far, our farm consists of:
    5 llamas (three gelded boys, two open girls)
    3 goats (one billy, two nannies in milk)
    3 Pekin ducks (one male, two female)
    25 or so miscellaneous chickens and one rooster
    10 Buff Orpinton pullets, just starting to lay
    6 baby turkeys
    2 rabbits (one male, one female to breed for meat rabbits)
    1 Great Pyrenees (female, spayed)
    1 mutt (male, border collie mix)
    1 chihuahua (male, neutered, house pet, lap dog)
    1 white dove (house pet)
    1 Amazon Parrot (red-lored, 13 years old, house pet)
    1 black house cat (male, neuetred, 12 years old)


We still have so many things we'd like to try as we transition from our little homestead to the church farm. As we are still in a rental space, we are limited in what we can do here. I'm hardly going to construct a 30 foot labyrinth or build a pyramid to meditate in. Until we can find a suitable property, everything has to be transportable. There is a property a few miles away we are looking at, and hopefully it will be available when we have saved enough for a deposit. We are always accepting donations.
