Pastures of Grace is led by Mark and Jennifer Klever, along with their children, who together run a working ranch focused on providing pastured pork, beef, and other farm offerings. At the heart of this ranch is more than just the land—it’s a place where transformation happens. Women in crisis find healing, support, and the opportunity to restore their lives and families.

Mark and Jennifer’s journey into ranching began long before they started Pastures of Grace. With degrees in agricultural science and business from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, they worked on various ranches before starting their own. They’ve always felt called to this life, driven by the belief that through hard work, faith, and community, lives can be restored—both on the land and within families.

In addition to their ranching operations, Pastures of Grace is proud to include a beautiful dahlia farm, where the Klevers grow and sell stunning flowers, as well as producing their own line of POG Tallow products. These ventures not only provide sustainable income for the program but also offer training and skills for women to learn and grow in hands-on work.

It is because of the amazing people in our community—those who support us, volunteer, and contribute—that Pastures of Grace has become such a special place. We are grateful for those who walk alongside us, making this program a living testament to the power of collaboration, faith, and restoring hope to those in need

It all began when, in the spring of 1998, while Mark and Jennifer were preparing to marry, they heard a heartbreaking story on the radio about a family of boys in need of a home. In that moment, Jennifer said to Mark, "I could see one day opening our home to a group of siblings." Without hesitation, Mark replied, "Yes." That simple exchange planted the seed for what would become a life of service to others.

Years later, with four biological children, Mark and Jennifer began fostering and adopting, growing their family through obedience to God's call. The journey wasn’t always easy, but it was full of grace. They learned that, despite the challenges, there is always room at the table for one more. This value of "always room at the table" is reflected in our logo, where the roof covers a table — symbolizing a safe space for everyone.

Today, Pastures of Grace has expanded from fostering children to serving young women in crisis through our Life Restoration Ranch. Our mission is to walk alongside these women, offering the support and skills needed to rebuild their lives and restore their families. Through faith, hard work, and community, we are creating a place where healing happens and futures are transformed.

We don’t have it all figured out — but we believe in grace. Every day is a new opportunity to lean into God's plan and continue growing this work. And we’re excited to invite you to join us in this mission.

We love our farm, we love the life we’ve built here, and we’re passionate about sharing it with others who need healing and support. The farm isn’t just about livestock and crops; it’s a living, breathing testament to the power of restoration. From our humble beginnings to the journey we’re on now, Pastures of Grace has always been about more than just land — it’s about building relationships, offering hope, and creating lasting change.

We strongly believe this is only a story that has been written by our Creator and we're excited to see where He is taking us all.

Go team go!
