Grounded in a biblical perspective on agrarianism, we strive to embody regenerative agriculture by integrating principles of faith, permaculture, and land management.Central to our mission is the ethos of hospitality and education. As both a family home and a working farm, Russet House serves as a platform for exploring the harmonious relationship between permaculture, sustainable living, and radical Christian discipleship. Through retreats, Farm Days, workshops, and internships, we invite others to join us in this journey of discovery and growth.As we transition towards becoming a fully operational permaculture farm, we extend a warm invitation to individuals eager to engage with our ethos and practices. Our annual heirloom tomato plant sale in the spring provides an opportunity for the community to participate in our endeavors.Located off-grid, Russet House Farm relies on solar-voltaic energy production, aligning with our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our one-acre intensive garden, cultivated entirely by hand, yields a bounty of organic fruits and vegetables that sustain our household, volunteers, and interns year-round.In addition to horticulture, our farm also engages in animal husbandry, including rare-breed Kerry cattle, pigs, horses, Muscovy ducks, and chickens.
