In A Good Way Farm IN A GOOD WAY is a nonprofit organization established to give Native Americans in need a hand up. and homesteading. etc.

IN A GOOD WAY is a non profit training facility established to give a hand up to all Native Americans in need. A residential program is available for men over 18 years of age who possess a CDIB card and qualify for the program. A day program is available for all men and women over 18 years of age who qualify for the program. Our residential and day programs are diversified although the main focus

is on agriculture, agritourism. In addition to the day program focusing on agriculture, agritourism. and homesteading the program could include topics of immediate and necessary interest such as nutrition, preserving foods, using recyclable materials for building. Our program is culturally and spiritually based. Our goal is to guide the people in our program toward a responsible and self sustainable life style. Since the original overview was written we have broadened the guidelines of our program to all Native Americans who need a hand up. We no longer specify or focus on "formerly incarcerated." We are helping a larger and more diversified group of people. . We have expanded our programs to include a much larger section of the population including the homeless and elders."

IAGW farm was blessed as the tornado pictured over Talihina flew over the farm without causing damages. The tornado
winds ranged from 80 to 120 mph skipped over Talihina causing damage to trees and signs. There were no loss of homes and no injuries due to the tornado in Talihina.

Heavy rain (8" in in one day) caused extensive wash out damage to the farm's 1/2 mile long driveway. The damage is not covered by insurance. Anyone wanting to help repair the damages to the farm can send a tax deductible donations to In a Good Way Farm, 13359 SE 1101 Ave, Talihina, OK 74571. I can be reached personally at [email protected].

This is a joyous time for sure. We accepted the first 4 men as family into the mostly finished bunk house. The guys came to us from the recovery center here in Talihina. The men have pitched right in to get the bunkhouse finished and are doing a great job during their off time from looking for jobs, getting their GED's, going to church and educational classes. We only need a couple of living room chairs, floor tile, paint, blankets, pots and pans so that the 4 men living in our bunk house can call it a finished home. We took the men in to the mostly finished house the beginning of the month because they needed a home and we felt even though we weren't totally finished it was the right thing to do.
We are trying to raise funds to buy the articles we need to finish the house by selling raffle tickets for a handmade quilt that was made and donated by a 91 year old Talihina women to help us. If you could help us by buying a ticket or two and send this post on to all your facebook friends who might buy a ticket and ask them to do the same it would help us call the bunk house a "home" to men who need a hand up.The tickets are $1 and the drawing will be held on January 6th. See picture below of Ina Mell Dill and the handmade quilt she made and donated.
Please help us give these men in need a hand up. For more information on buying a raffle ticket, selling raffle tickets, receiving our newsletter, about our program or possibly taking on In A Good Way as an on going project for yourself or an organization you belong to.
Please contact me at [email protected]. We are a 501 (c) (3) non profit and all donations are 100 % tax deductible and our mission is to give Native American in need a hand up. Yakoke (thank you in Choctaw)
