Weekend Ranch Experience

We are continuing our Weekend Ranch Experience events this fall. Welcome to where the clouds are born!

This October we welcome people who want to see how the Organic Art Ranch works, who don’t mind doing work outside and getting their hands dirty, who happily help us with our homesteading chores, try some gardening, enjoy the silence of nature, go hiking, and live with us for a couple of days. Be in nature, learn from us, try a different lifestyle, breath in the fresh mountain air.
