Ministry

Dear Bikers,
The Haft began in 1958 when it was a sheep farm. It was converted into a Christian 501(c)3 charity that took care of people instead of sheep! The 3 story sheep barn has been beautifully refurbished with 7 bedrooms and hosts healing retreats for families and individuals who come from around the world to get their families restored and refreshed.
