Photos from the convent campus

The Tiffin sisters own about 400 acres.  In addition to the garden there is a crop farm that raises soybeans and corn. This is one part of the farm.  Chickens in the foreground, and the house is constructed of bales of hay.  Power is provided by a solar panel.  The hay provides cooling in the summer and insulation in the winter.  The walls are plaster inside.  It is cozy and attractive.



Photos inside the main convent hallway, the chapel, and the sacristy, which is where Father puts on his garments and prepares for Holy Mass.
