Shepherd's Cross

Shepherd's Cross is a Working Farm and Christian Mission. This is a diverse farming operation, hosting a variety of farm tours, and a specialty farm gift shop, Shepherd's Shop. We raise sheep, hay, pecans, walnuts, and garden produce; we raise our produce naturally though we are not licensed organic. Our farm sheep operation is Animal Welfare Approved. We believe in sustainable agriculture. Grass Fed, Grass Finished, Grass born & raised. We are Animal Welfare Approved and USDA certified.

We are open for drop by customers Thursday through Saturday 8:30-5:30. During events we often have extended hours. We are closed Sundays and Holiday Weekends. There is a Farm Museum, a bible Garden and a Wool Mill, all of which are available to tour (seasonally).

We teach people about agriculture, basic farming, and how the farm animals and plants relate to God's Word in the Bible.

Farm tours include the Pumpkin Festival Tours in October, Shepherding Tours in the spring, Bible Garden Tours from spring through the fall, and Living Nativity Tours in December. Additionally we host "Woolly Weekend" shearing weekend at the farm in April. Tour groups are welcome, with advance registration, most any day and time of the week. We can facilitate tour buses. The 6000 square foot Amish built, Gambrel roof barn allows tours to proceed, even in inclimate weather.
