A vision to transform lives.
We’re building a farm.
The future farm is being built in dependence on the Lord. Psalm 127 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” That is our posture for FARM127. We can prepare the land, raise support, and create a safe place to grow, but only God can establish the work and bring lasting renewal. The farm is not just a property project; it is a prayerful step of obedience to create a Christ-centered community where young adults aging out of foster care can experience safety, belonging, dignity, and hope.
We are not trying to build everything at once. We are raising the first $500,000 to prepare the ground for FARM127’s future farm community.
These funds will help us identify the right property, complete due diligence, develop a responsible site plan, strengthen our campaign materials, continue supporting young adults today, and prepare for a larger capital campaign with wisdom and accountability.
Imagine with us.
For a young adult aging out of foster care, arrival at FARM127 is not the start of another program. It is the first deep breath after a long season of surviving.
You are greeted by name. No one rushes you through paperwork before they look you in the eye. No one treats you like a case file, a problem to solve, or a statistic to manage. There is a room prepared, a meal nearby, and people ready to walk with you at a pace that feels human.
In the first few days, you begin to learn the rhythms of the place. Morning coffee. Shared meals. Work in the garden. Honest conversations. Prayer offered without pressure. Mentors who show up again and again. Staff who help with housing, school, work, appointments, budgeting, and next steps, but also ask deeper questions: How are you sleeping? What are you carrying? What kind of life do you want to build?
The farm gives more than shelter. It gives structure without shame. Responsibility without abandonment. Community without performance. Faith without pretending.
Here, growth is not expected to happen overnight. FARM127 believes healing takes time, like seed in soil. Young adults are given space to be rooted in safety, turned toward the light of Christ, and surrounded by steady people who believe their lives have purpose. That is why the farm matters. It is not just a place to stay. It is a place to become.
For donors, the vision is simple: your support does not merely fund services. It helps create an environment where young adults aging out of foster care can experience safety, belonging, practical guidance, and Christ-centered community as they step into adulthood. FARM127’s promise is to help young adults find “safety, belonging, guidance, and Christ-centered community,” not as charity projects, but as image-bearers with gifts, courage, and purpose.
And for the young adult arriving, the message is even simpler:
You are not alone here.
You do not have to earn your place.
You are safe to grow.
