We had such a great time representing and Ranch House Recovery at Recovery in the Park! 🌳💚

From a few rounds of pepper toss to conversations about the 5th Annual Hot Sauce Hootenanny and the recovery opportunities we offer, it was a reminder of how powerful it is when community comes together.
Events like this shine a light on hope, connection, and the many paths to recovery. 🙌

From Alumni to Mentor — Thank You, Chris 🌿
In 2020, Chris Weber came to Ranch House Recovery ready to rebuild his life. He left not only with his own healing, but with a mission to help others do the same. As an alumnus and mentor, Chris led by example — with hard work, kindness, and a deep love for nature.

Your impact will be felt here for years to come, Chris. Wishing you all the best as you begin your next chapter at Natureversity Outdoor School. You’ll always be part of our family. 💚

🌿 Healing Inside & Out: The 12 Steps Meet the Natural World 🌿

Recovery isn’t just a mental journey — it’s a biological one. When the 12 Steps are paired with eco-therapy — the practice of connecting with nature for healing — something powerful happens.

🌀 The 12 Steps guide the soul toward honesty, surrender, accountability, and spiritual connection.

🌱 Eco-therapy helps the body do the same — literally.

✅ Reduced stress hormones (like cortisol)
✅ Improved heart rate and blood pressure
✅ Strengthened immune response
✅ Improved sleep, mood, and mental clarity

Nature helps regulate the nervous system, which is often hijacked in the throes of substance use. Just being outdoors — planting, tending, walking, breathing — restores.

When someone in recovery tends a garden, walks under the trees, or feeds the animals, it’s not just therapy — it’s recalibration. The land holds space while the Steps guide the soul. Together, they create a path where deep, embodied healing can happen.

💚 We believe recovery should be rooted — in truth, in soil, in soul.

Regenerative Recovery is a holistic approach to addiction recovery that goes beyond sobriety, aiming to restore individuals, families, and communities by integrating personal healing, meaningful work, and environmental stewardship. Rooted in the belief that recovery is not just about breaking free from addiction but about rebuilding what was lost—dignity, purpose, connection—this model cultivates long-term transformation through real-world experiences, sustainable practices, and relational accountability.

At its core, Regenerative Recovery is:
• Personal – It sees each person as capable of growth, not just survival. By focusing on meaningful work, trust-based relationships, and emotional healing, individuals regenerate a sense of purpose and identity.
• Relational – It prioritizes connection over control. Trust, honesty, and shared responsibility replace rigid systems, fostering healthy attachments and stronger families.
• Environmental – It partners with the land. Through farming, stewardship, and circular systems like herb cultivation and food forests, participants learn to care for something bigger than themselves—and in doing so, heal themselves.
• Community-Driven – It shifts the focus from institutionalized care to collective support. Recovery becomes a shared endeavor, engaging volunteers, local businesses, and other nonprofits in rebuilding lives and neighborhoods.

At Simple Promise Farms and Ranch House Recovery, Regenerative Recovery shows up in the soil and the soul—where transformation is cultivated by hand, through service, routine, and relationships. It’s a living model of recovery that grows hope, not just crops. And it’s designed not only to restore what was lost, but to create something better in its place.
