Farm Products. Promise Land Pastures produces eggs, chicken and lamb meat, honey, seasonal vegetables, some ancient heirloom corn, and 4×4 round bales of hay. All of our products are GMO free, and we never use any chemicals on our property. Our products are used in unique ways to build community and serve those in need.
Mission Projects. Our farm is a hub for Christian mission outreach. We use the equipment and infrastructure of the farm to empower all the local churches in the area to come together for unified acts of kindness that the Lord Himself orchestrates. Through prayer and loving fellowship with the churches we arrive at special projects that God has prepared for us to do as one team of believers expressing our faith through love.
