About the Project
Sandhill is more than a farm. We are a community-focused, liberty and justice-minded experiment. The Speegles' and Seif-Miller's raise their own food and look for ways to make 13 acres a nutrition and education benefit to their local communities.

Visit the Farm!
Sandhill invites you to visit the farm. We have free range/cage free chickens, pastured broilers, pastured cows, sheep, turkeys, and even ducks! We can teach you several aspects of what it takes to get good food from pasture to table. Learn to butcher, make milk soap, yogurt or cheese. Take home some eggs and ground beef! ​

​
Along with farming, ministry opportunities 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. Sandhill embodies it. Our praxis begins with our team sorting through potential answers to problems and reaching an agreement of a course of action. This includes finding new ways to provide a sustainable food model for our local community.
