From Skies to Soil: The Story Behind the Name For 17 years, I served as a missionary pilot in Indonesia with JAARS and Wycliffe Bible Translators. It was a privilege to assist Bible translation and see the transforming, redemptive work of Christ alive in people all around the world.
When God called us home we entered into a multigenerational partnership with family on a 8.8 acre property southwest of Spokane, situated next to a short grass airstrip. One day in 2022 I heard the Lord speak directly to me about the property and why he brought us home from the mission field. He said: "Hard times are coming, I want you to grow all your own food and for others, my glory is going to fall on this property and I will do this on properties all over the world."
We are making this farm into a pilot program with Legacy Builders Ministries. Our heart is to be a place where we can walk in close fellowship with each other, living a life of repentance, and forgiveness. Cultivating the soil of our souls in biblical community while growing nutrient dense food.
"But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." 1st John 1:7
You can do this, too. I spent nearly two decades in the skies with absolutely zero background in agriculture before stepping into the soil. If I can learn how to cultivate God's earth from scratch, you can too. You don't need a farming background—just a heart willing to learn. — Courtney Zehr, Founder & Executive Director

The Flying Farmstead is a sanctuary of restoration. A place to disconnect from modern dependency, step onto holy ground, and experience God's glory manifest in a living, working farm fellowship. The abundance of the harvest is simply a blessed byproduct. Cultivating and harvesting the fruit of the spirit and the fruit of the earth. We operate as an individual business through a charter of Legacy Builders Ministires.
The Gardens:
A massive wood-core Hügelkultur garden, a traditional vegetable plot, a large pumpkin patch, and developing fruit and nut tree starts.
The Livestock:
Heritage Gloucestershire Old Spots pigs (breeding stock) and egg-laying chickens. (Coming soon: Nigerian Dwarf goats, rabbits, quail, and worm bins).
The Soil Builders:
On-site biochar production and active microbial composting.
Biblical Community & Discipleship:
Real-world community with an intentional focus on prayer, worship, and walking out Scripture as we work the land together.
Welcome to Your Family’s Homestead
Join the Flying Farmstead Cohort—A hands-on, faith-based community rooted in biblical stewardship.
Most outdoor nature programs charge hundreds of dollars per child for just a few hours a week. We wanted to build something deeper for Christian families. The Flying Farmstead Cohort gives your entire household unlimited access to a working farm, fresh food, and outdoor learning—all for one flat family rate.
We are opening just 20 family spots for our launch season. As a member, your family gets a place to disconnect from the noise, connect with creation, and fill your pantry with wholesome food.

Instead of paying per child, your entire household gets full access for a flat $350 a month.
Because we limit this cohort to just 20 families to protect the land and the community experience, spots will fill fast. We start everyone with a 100% risk-free, 1-month trial so you can make sure it’s the perfect fit for your family schedule.
