Work with fencing, carpentry, quick auto fixes, tractor work, pachaging and marketing. We will also work with ministry or seminary students learning the bivocational life. Scot is credentialed to act as faculty support for such interests.

Along with farming, ministry opportunites abound in Barry County, and Peace-making, servanthood, and Quaker History are all areas of expertise that Sandhill can facilitate. And don't forget - Jenn is a home-birth midwife.
Apprentices often hear that they are part of a team. Sandill embodies it. Our praxis bgins with a team sorting through potential answers to problems and reaching an agreement of a course of action.
