Meet Our Team

Regina Thomas, lovingly referred to as "Mutti", the German word for Mother, or "Oma", the German word for Grandmother. With a genuine love for all, she really welcomes you as one of the family and becomes a friend, mother, and grandmother to all who need it. She is a German citizen and met her American husband in Jerusalem while both involved in Christian ministries. She is the mother of three amazing men, the youngest of which is Pastor Jeremiah. All her sons are happily married and have now made Regina the grandmother to 9 grandkids. With all that, she somehow still has more love and energy to go around. A native to Germany, she has been our official German teacher from the start. You will always be greeted with a smile and most likely a delicious dish of food. If you ever get a chance, be sure to try her pies!

Mariah enjoys living a slower, more intentional life on their small homestead. She loves homemaking, hands-on learning, and cultivating meaningful community. Everything she does—at home, in business, and within this co-op—is rooted in one purpose: to help raise and build warriors for the Kingdom of God.
