The Campbell Farm, located on the Yakama Indian Reservation, was owned and operated by the Campbell Family for most of this century. In 1978, Nellie Campbell willed the 40-acre farm to the Central Washington Presbytery. Since that time, the farm has been a part of the larger family of Christ. The farm once grew hops, but today its primary crop is apples. The orchards are leased, and profits from the apples contribute to the Campbell Farm operating budget. Program fees, individual and church donations, and grants contribute to the rest of the farm needs. Campbell Farm is a non-profit organization and your donation is tax-deductible. Farming has always been central to the purpose of the Campbell Farm as it has sought to interpret issues of sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship through hands on work on the farm. Over the years, the Campbell Farm has been a place for theological reflection, worship, a meeting place, conference and retreat center, a place for family reunions, and more. The most successful current program of the Farm is the summer mission focus, providing a "home base" for groups wishing to do mission in a setting away from their local churches. The facility's historic buildings and warm, country atmosphere, make the Campbell Farm a true gem in the Presbyterian "family" of conference and retreat centers. |
