Let's Connect!

Makerspace Hideout, Est. 2021

A dream project, years in the making!

Our Story

(tl:dr;) Two long-time yet distant acquaintances reconnected mid-pandemic, only to discover that their dreams of buying a farm and building a haven for creative friends were in alignment! Then we did it.

Mission

Our mission is simple: Create, Grow, & Flourish (also "Build cool sh*t in the woods with awesome people!")

Values

Love of Learning, Maker Spirit, Geek Culture, Nature Preservation, Interdependence, and Community

Vision

Over the next few years, our goal is to continue to expand our nearly off-the-grid retreat center, in harmony with the natural surroundings and local community. Combining a fully immersive artist retreat experience, with the learning environment of a makerspace,  the nourishment of a small sustainable cooperative farm, and the heart and soul of an intentional community. Creating a magical place for hands-on learning, with all the tools for creativity, as a haven for the ultra geeky!
