A safe haven for the marginalized since 2005
Twenty minutes from downtown St. Louis, Cornerstone Farms has provided refuge since 2005 for children with special needs. Now we work with refugees & and foster kids too. We believe Jesus’ love, horses & and the beauty of nature work together to bring about deep healing.

“I found out about this place through some mutual friends. They told me about a party. I think it was during a refugee party. It’s really peaceful here. It’s a great place to get away from the stress of daily life…. I like being able to have a place where I can make close friends just to enjoy myself. I would recommend this place. I tell people this place has fun parties every week or so during the summer.”
“[Ewan] always mentions how very welcoming they are. [The Hendricks] are a nice family, they are–incredibly welcoming. And they always make sure when they know [Ewan] is coming they accommodate his needs. Like they have a portapotty. They make sure those things are there. And that means a lot. Because not everywhere we go thinks of those things ahead of time and I feel like they really try. And that means a lot to me that they think about those things and think ahead. You don’t have to bring it up. They already know.”
“I’m so happy because I’m tired of staying at home. I’m so happy you help. Thank you so much. For cooking and you have so much fun and you are so nice.”
“God bless you for this. For having us all together here. It is so beautiful and peaceful. My children are very, very happy here.”
