Singles Homesteaders Retreat — FAQWhat is the focus of this retreat?
This retreat is centered on practical homesteading skills, shared work, and genuine community in a Christian faith-based environment. It is not a dating retreat or a structured matchmaking experience. Connections are meant to develop naturally through shared learning and time together.

This retreat is a good fit for singles who:
-
Are interested in homesteading, land-based skills, or livestock

Activities are hands-on and outdoors, but they are accessible to beginners. You should be comfortable being outside, walking uneven ground, and participating in light physical work.
