Farmer Paul's Ranch
 We have a 16-acre ranch in Shadow Hills (San Fernando Valley), California, that we use to meet with people and invite them up to our 60-acre ranch and 10-acre farm in Tehachapi, California, where we have a cage-free dog business, livestock and grow our food. We are also looking to grow our membership. So contact Farmer Paul and learn how simple life can be. Come and stay for a visit. Help with the chores, harvest, and refresh yourself. Keep your job in LA and come on the weekends. Ride up on one of our shuttles. Or say goodbye to LA and move on in. We would love to here from you. God Bless.
