Welcome to the Turtle Rock Farm Retreat blog!
Main Pond at Turtle Rock Farm
Turtle Rock Farm, A Center for Sustainability, Spirituality and Healing, is located in the rolling mixed grass prairie of north central Oklahoma near Billings. Turtle Rock Farm Retreat is a gift we want to share. While it is still a working centennial family farm, it is also a wonderful refuge, with pastures and creeks to hike and explore, wildlife to observe, ponds that contribute to the beauty of this place.
Ann McFerron and Pat Hoerth grew up here. Ann is an energy kinesiologist and has great interest in gardening, including vermi-composting, and beekeeping. Pat is a United Methodist Deaconess, trained spiritual director and writer and loves walking and photographing the prairie.
Time spent here has always been healing and revitalizing for us, as individuals and as family, and we are happy to offer retreats and classes in this setting – for individuals, families and groups. We offer guests various opportunities to experience the beauty of the land we love, through spiritual retreats, nature retreats, family and group retreats and classes in how to live more sustainably.

Hello Sr. Terry,
It is good to hear again from a “sister of Earth.” I think often of our visit there, and live again meeting you all, the alpacas, walking across the wiggly bridge, seeing the beautiful prairie labyrnth and, most of all, being in the beautiful womb-like, rainbow-lit silo. It is good to be connected.
Peace,
Pat
