Summary

SummaryI’m Phillip, and my wife Ann and I are so grateful for our simple life on the 11.5-acre farm in Mena, Arkansas. What started with a few bamboo sprigs has grown into a thriving ecosystem of free-range chickens, goats, and bees. Here, we invite troubled teens and families into our home, teaching them to milk goats, cook homemade kombucha, and garden organically. We don’t set out to fix everyone; we simply love them as they are and trust the Holy Spirit to bring healing, hope, and transformation. Every visitor leaves with more than skills—they experience God’s embrace through hospitality and community. 🌾🖐️🙏

Life in the Ouachita Mountains of Western Arkansas is anything but fancy. But Phillip and Ann Hatley wouldn’t have it any other way. They love the simple life. Days full of organic gardening, bee keeping, raising free range livestock, and their favorite thing…. loving people.
