Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about what exists today—and what remains a future vision.
Truthfulness is part of the identity of Restore Creation. These answers are meant to keep the vision inspiring without becoming misleading.
Current status
Restore Creation does not currently own or operate land. The future farm and retreat remain a vision in preparation.
No. Restore Creation does not currently own or operate project land. The farm, retreat, First Fruits Pavilion, agricultural systems, structures, and related ventures described on this site are a vision in planning and preparation.
No. There is no operating farm, visitor program, public event schedule, retreat lodging, or on-land enterprise today. The current work includes a backyard food forest prototype, learning, planning, and preparation for the future farm.
The intended setting is rural Florida, with planning historically centered on the Myakka City area. Until land is actually acquired, the site should not imply ownership of a specific parcel or treat an exact location as settled.
We envision agritourism experiences such as farm visits, educational activities, retreats, and guest stays. Guests would book available experiences or accommodations when those offerings are ready. The details will depend on the land, approvals, and the farm’s ability to host responsibly.
No. Visits and stays are not available to book, and there is no published pricing or opening date. You can express future interest and follow the journey as the farm and hospitality plans develop.
Christian faith is the foundation of the calling and the standard Rob and Josie intend to use when evaluating stewardship, truth, work, hospitality, community, and future ventures. The site states that testimony openly without using faith to pressure visitors or discourage thoughtful scrutiny.
Future planning has explored Florida-suited food forests, seasonal gardens, cattle, sheep, chickens, potentially pigs in appropriate areas, fish or aquatic systems, and other productive elements. The actual mix must depend on the land, climate, animal welfare, law, capacity, and responsible site-specific design.
There is no public opening date. Timing depends first on land and then on permitting, design, infrastructure, finances, construction, agricultural development, staffing, insurance, and responsible operating capacity.
It is a future gathering structure envisioned for worship, prayer, Bible study, shared meals, teaching, fellowship, and community. The current working dimensions and floor plan are conceptual and may change.
The best current step is to follow the journey and choose the kind of updates that matter to you: general updates, future retreat interest, prayer/support, regenerative learning, or potential partnership. Updates will include future opportunities to visit as they become available.
