Health really
matters to us! That's why we take the health of our employees seriously. Our 1,200-acre campus offers an opportunity to live actively and in nature. Our store offers tons of nutritious food (we'll even give you a discount). We also celebrate a weekly holiday every Saturday - it's our time to disconnect from work in order to reconnect with those we love and our Creator.

As such, we close down operations every Friday evening to Saturday evening. We don't check emails or have meetings (seriously) - we rest. Join our team and be a part of getting the world back to health!
