A faith-based sober living home in Bend, Oregon

The Farm is a peer-run, Christian recovery residence for men on a nine-acre property just east of Bend, Oregon. Residents live in a structured sober house, work a paying job on our W.O.R.C. crews, and pay their own rent. It is built for men stepping down from detox, residential treatment or custody who need distance, structure and accountability before going home.

It is a place quiet enough to hear God and demanding enough to build discipline: daily property care, animals to tend, and a community that holds each other accountable. Here, men find purpose, belonging and the courage to follow Him.

 

Who The Farm is for

• Adult men, sober on arrival, who are choosing recovery for themselves

• Men leaving detox, residential treatment or jail, with an outpatient plan in place

• Men able to do outdoor physical work

• Men open to a Christian, peer-run community

 

How the program works

Phase 1 — Orientation (1–2 weeks). Settle in without work. Set up ID, phone, email and outside appointments, and complete your first case-management goals.

Phase 2 — Building. Part-time paid work on a W.O.R.C. crew, scheduled around outside treatment, meetings and mentoring.

Phase 3 — Launch. Full-time work, savings, and an exit plan for housing and employment.

Most residents stay 4 to 12 months. Our program completion rate is 49%, about twice the national average.

 

What is included

• A bed in a shared-room sober house, with a live-in House Manager evenings and weekends

• A paid job on a Way Out Recovery Crew (W.O.R.C.), with a full-time Work Coordinator

• Peer mentoring and case management, tracked in each resident's own Living Recovery account

• Random drug and alcohol testing

• Rides to outside treatment, medical and court appointments

• Morning group, house meetings, and Christian discipleship and mentoring

• Regular family updates, with the resident's written consent

 

Cost and scholarships

The full program cost is $1,100 per week. Every resident pays his own share of $138.50 per week from his paycheck, so he earns his place and builds a rental history. Families, sponsors or a scholarship cover the rest. Need-based scholarships are available for a limited number of beds each year.

 

What The Farm is not

The Farm provides housing, work and mentoring. It is not treatment, detox or a medical facility, and no clinical services are provided on site; residents attend licensed providers in town. Rooms are shared, and meals are not provided: residents buy and cook their own food.
