Welcome to our Home!

This is the 'official' site of Shekinah Farm. A family farm and home to many animals and people! We hope you enjoy your visit. Let me start by explaining the name of our farm. Shekinah is a hebrew word meaning G-d dwells here. When we moved here we invited G-d to dwell here with us, since it was He that made it possible for us to have our farm. We bought our place in November, 1999 and we are learning everyday about how things are on a farm and how to rely on the Father and the Son, Yeshua, to get us through each day.

Shekinah Farm is a 9 acre gentleman's farm with a 4 bedroom brick home, barn, 7 fenced acres of pasture and a pond. We are located in North Alabama about 3 miles south of the Tennessee border. Since moving here we have built a chicken house, tree house, added storage buildings, milking area in the barn, and a resource building and office for our school(VAST Network). We hope to add on to the house to increase the size and move off the grid.

Let me introduce the family to you. My husband Richard "Satch" and I, Christie, are the owners of Shekinah Farm. We are Dad and Mom in most of the stories in this site. We have 2 children living here, Ricky age 20 and Shelly age 15. April and Tasha are in some of our stories and journals, Tasha is our adopted Daughter and is 19 yo. She lived with us for 3 years. April is our G-d Daughter and lived with us off and on most of her life. We have 2 dogs, Jazzy, a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, and Lydia, an Anatolian Shepherd (livestock guardian dog). We have several cats, 1 that lives inside, Smudge, and a bunch that live outside and keep the mice and rats away, well sort of. We have 5 horses, 4 cows, we keep anywhere from 12-20 chickens, and bee hives. Our plans for the future include adding some fruit trees, and a contemplation garden with a prayer labarynth. We no longer have La Mancha milk goats and we are now milking Mama, our cow. We have a photo gallery that is always under construction so please take a look!

Dad works for our school part time and works full time on the military post in Huntsville, AL. Mom runs a home school and day school organization for special needs children. She has home schooled her children for over 17 years. We all share in the farm chores and try to include everyone staying with us as much as possible in our daily routine of farming, learning, and enjoying G-d's provision and family life. We currently home church and have fellowship daily with those G-d sends our direction. We meet on Friday evenings and Saturdays during the day for Sabboth. If you would like to know more about our beliefs please check out our Yahweh page

The farm journal or our stories pages are wonderful places to start your visit as they will get you caught up with all of the happenings at Shekinah Farm. We invite you to laugh and cry with us, live and love with us! G-d has blessed us greatly and we thank Him!
