St. Fiacre’s Friends (Yearly Membership)
We plant seeds of hope and cultivate faith at Lumen Christi Farm. The garden, orchard, and pastures here are a special part of our mission! Not only do we work to help to nourish our neighbors with nutritious produce, but we provide a place for our guests to encounter Christ in the meaningful labor of planting, watering, picking weeds, and harvesting. St. Fiacre is the patron of gardeners, and he cultivated his soul while he spent his time working in the dirt. Your “St. Fiacre’s Friends” membership ensures that Lumen Christi Farm can continue to sustain our gardens, pastures, and orchards and do so with staff, volunteers, and guests while praying and growing closer to the Lord. With your help, we can ensure we have enough seeds, plants, trees, garden tools, fertilizers, and containers for packaging. MEMBER BENEFITS: Members will be invited to 2 harvest events (mid summer/fall) just for “St. Fiacre’s Friends” which includes a harvest prayer service and a taste of what was grown here at the farm. You will also have the chance to hear and see how your membership has helped us donate produce to those in need and encouraged faith growth in all those who were stewards of the land at Lumen Christi Farm. Members will also receive a produce share box at these events to take home some of the fresh produce that we harvested from the garden!

Lamb or Goat Meat Sponsorship
We are working hard here at Lumen Christi Farm Retreat Center! We use rotational grazing practices to produce grass fed lamb and we maintain a herd of goats both for high quality meat and controlling invasive species on our land. We currently have a herd of 34 ewes (sheep) and 28 (does) in which we hope to produce approx. 100 animals for processing. St. Isidore and Blessed Maria had a love and concern for the poor, and by following in their footsteps, it is our goal to be able to provide our neighbors in need with the lamb and goat meat we sustainably raise right here from our farm. Most ethnic cultures eat goat and lamb meat, and in our diverse communities in the Diocese of Green Bay, those who utilize our local food pantries would never dream of receiving this costly and healthy meat to feed their families. Can you imagine what joy Lumen Christi farm would bring to these recipients! This is one way we plant seeds of hope and reflect the light of Christ in the darkness of the world. And you can help be apart of this mission by sponsoring a lamb or goat that will be grown with care, processed at a local butcher, and delivered to one of the food pantries we partner with. Your donation of either a half or whole lamb responds to Jesus’ call to care for the poor and fulfills the corporal work of mercy of feeding the hungry!
200.00 1/2 lamb or goat
400.00 Whole lamb or goat
800.00 2 whole lambs or goats
1200.00 3 whole lambs or goats

Donate In Memory of Someone
Giving a gift in memory of someone brings light into the darkness of grief. Making a donation to Lumen Christi Farm is a beautiful way to remember someone special or to honor the loved one of a friend or family member who is grieving. Your gift to Lumen Christi Farm helps to further our work of planting seeds of hope and making the world brighter with the light of Christ.
Memorial Stones (Little Lambs Memorial Garden) – $250.00
Lumen Christi Farm has a special ministry for parents and families who have lost young children or babies through miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. You can enroll one of these special children in the Lumen Christi Farm Little Lambs Memorial Garden. Stones with the name of the child/baby are placed by a statue of Jesus holding a lamb in the garden by Job’s Chapel in the woods. A Memorial Service and Healing Experience of snuggling baby lambs is offered at the farm each spring for families who have experienced this type of loss, and these stones are blessed at this event each year. Not only does your donation remember a precious little one who we believe is safe in the arms of the Good Shepherd, but it also helps to support the mission of Lumen Christi Farm. Please print and send in the order form below with your payment.
