White Violet Center for Eco-Justice
Teaching, caring, inspiring for all creation
White Violet Center for Eco-Justice at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, is a ministry of the Sisters of Providence. You’ll find a herd of alpacas and a flock of laying chickens, a 5-acre USDA certified organic garden, orchards, bee hives, a Farm Store, and a nature trail. We also have educational workshops, cooking classes, and opportunities for internships and volunteering. Schedule a tour of the farm.
