Manderley Farms

Manderley Farms, located in Pikeville, Tennessee, is a 1,200-acre multi-species regenerative farm that will provide funds for our camp ministry and offers guests the opportunity to learn about biblical worldview farming practices through farm tours, conferences, and other on-farm events.

Manderley Farms is our most unexpected gift to date, and yet we see God’ s hand in this incredible trust He has given us. When God gave our founder, Jeff Keaton, the vision of RenewaNation almost two decades ago, he had no idea it would lead to us being in the camping and farming business. However, Spirit-led people must be willing to follow God wherever He leads because He knows where we should go and what we should be doing to accomplish His plan. Let us share with you the incredible story of how we came to own Manderley Farms.

Over 12 years ago, Jeff met a wonderful lady at a little country church in Pikeville, Tennessee. She invited him to her farm to explain the mission of RenewaNation. After his 10-minute presentation, she looked him in the eye and asked a surprising question:“ What would you do with this 2,000- acre farm if I gave it to your ministry?”
Without hesitation, he responded,“ We would initially bring hundreds of children here each year to teach them Judeo-Christian values, and then we would bring thousands upon thousands.” She later shared with a mutual friend that she knew right then and there that she would be leaving her farm to RenewaNation. renewanation. org 13
