As a ministry of the Dominican Sisters of Peace, Heartland Farm consists of an eighty acre homestead with organic gardens, crop lands and pastures, alpacas, a prairie labyrinth and many trails. A wooded creek traverses the land and two ponds offer habitat for the native species that dwell here. The farm also includes 2 straw bale buildings, one an art studio and the other a hermitage. The farm relies on many volunteers throughout the year to grow delicious food and assist with programs for area communities and visitors.
