Best Agricultural Association Scottsdale Near Me

4worldlovers: All owners of Gainey Ranch property, residential and nonresidential, are members of the Gainey Ranch Community Association (GRCA).

The eighteen residential communities within Gainey Ranch each have their own sub-association known as a Satellite Association. The characteristics of the eighteen residential communities can be viewed by clicking on ‘Community Profile.’ Property owners within a satellite community are members of both the GRCA and their own satellite association.

To ensure uniform quality maintenance throughout Gainey Ranch, each satellite association is required by the governing documents to employ the GRCA to maintain landscape and building maintenance elements within the communities.

The GRCA is governed by a five-person Board of Directors. Each Director is elected by the members and serves two-year terms without compensation. The Executive Director functions as the GRCA’s chief operating officer.

Each GRCA member is entitled to one vote per membership and the number of memberships is determined as follows based on the GRCA Declaration:

Residential members – One vote per lot or unit owned with a total of 1035 memberships.

Non-residential members – The number is calculated based on a formula relating to the size of the parcel owned and the square feet contained in the improvements of the parcel. Currently, there are 348 memberships.

4worldlovers: As most of you know by now, the entire farm (goats, chickens, gardens), and creating a culture for soul renovation through Spiritual Formation Projects, Domestic Arts Workshops and other Community Gatherings are made possible by the generosity of Friends of the Farm, a group of people nationwide who give monthly to The Simple Farm. This is a community of people who believe in us, partner and help us fulfill a dream where we see lives nurtured and healed, hearts turned and many becoming Jesus’ friend – through spiritual formation – on a farm setting.

We are a crowd-funded non-profit made possible by everyday by ordinary simple people like you and us. We have some people who are Friends of the Farm who give larger amounts, but most give small amounts like $10, $20 or $30 a month which we are so thankful.

Would you consider giving monthly to The Simple Farm? As a Friend of the Farm you’ll receive the first invitation of all things Simple Farm that we launch. Then, we’ll eventually give the public an opportunity. As a partner, you’ll receive the first offering to secure reservations for our seasonal Moonlight Farm Dinners as well as other farm events (family suppers, classes, gatherings and resources).

All contributions, whether a one-time gift or from the growing group of monthly givers called Friends of the Farm are 100% tax deductible and directly support our work and projects to expand this beautiful farm as a place of soul renovation.

We are Michael and Lylah, the cultivators of The Simple Farm: creating and cultivating a culture on the farm for soul renovation.
