KAREfarm is a 501-c3 non-profit seeking to meet you "where you are" on your grief journey by providing a beautiful outdoor respite free from the demands of your "new normal” and help find ways to reinvest in life. The loss of a loved one is devastating; and no matter if it's been three months, three years or 13 years, we want to serve you and/or your family.

Stay the night in a comfortably decorated glamp, hike a multitude of trails, fish or paddleboat on the lake, and enjoy a night around a community or personal fire pit - at no cost.

Join our community of amazing volunteers whose hard work and dedication allow us to continue to maintain the property and run impactful retreat weekends and other events.
