Our Mission
Cow Cuddles for a Cause
Founded by a combat disabled Marine Corps Veteran and a registered nurse, Semper Fi Homestead provides hands on agricultural experiences through guided interactions with our herd. Each experience is nurse led and rooted in connection and education. Through Cow Cuddles for a Cause, we raise funds to further our vision and support mission aligned nonprofits. We provide homesteading classes for the public, offer veteran specific programs at no cost, partner with local nonprofits, and lead youth education through our 4-H club.

Goal: $350,000

We are raising $350,000 to purchase our neighbor’s land while helping them transition to similar land for them to relocate to. This next step allows us to expand with purpose and steward what God gave us. With this growth, we will build a larger bullpen, create a better garden space, add a barn classroom with a bathroom and outdoor kitchen for homestead education, upgrade our chicken coop and run, install a wheelchair accessible walkway, and take care of much needed maintenance like fixing uneven ground and restoring our pond. This fundraiser is all about creating a safer, more accessible, and more intentional space for our community.
We’re udderly grateful you’re part of the moo-vement!

The peacefulness of the farm and the connection with the animals provided a sense of calm I hadn't felt in years. It’s a truly restorative place for any veteran.

Being around the cows and learning about the land gave me a new perspective on healing. This community is exactly what we need.
