Our Farm
Reevis's farm is rustic and natural, but provides most of the residents' needs throughout the year. It consists of a half-acre garden that produces year round, an orchard of one hundred fruit and nut trees, a wire-covered grape vineyard, a stone greenhouse, a stone shower house with solar-heated water, a stone power house, a workshop, various pens and coops for livestock, seven yurpees (yurt/teepee combination, design of Peter Bigfoot), two double cabins with wood-burning stoves, and two single cabins with gas heat. The farm hosts flocks of chickens, turkeys, and ducks, as well as the customary farm cats. The original ranch house still stands, housing a kitchen, a healing room with treatment table, a large workroom, and a library with hundreds of books and videos.
The Natural Setting
The land is nestled in a remote valley at 3,300 feet elevation. Thirteen acres protected by mountains on three sides, accessed by a primitive road that requires a 4X4 under the best of conditions, provide an isolated and serene setting for our homestead. Campaign Creek, a small perennial stream running parallel with the property, supplies the farm with irrigation water. Two springs and a solar-pumped well provide additional water.
The surrounding wilderness offers unlimited hiking opportunities. Native American ruins are within hiking distance from the farm, and many other ancient sites are found in the nearby Tonto National Forest. The setting makes possible an awesome experience of wild nature, free from pollution and artificial noise.
