providing seasonal produce and eggs, and through visible evidence,
proving the need for a redemptive covering for all creation
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NKJV

Our Name
Since the Genesis of creation, everything that is healthy appears to have some form of protective covering: feathers cover birds, fir covers animals, and vegetation or organic matter covers the microscopic life teaming in healthy soil; however, when God made man on the sixth day, Scripture tells us man was naked and that he walked with God. Man needed no covering, nor even knew he had any needs, because he walked with God. WOW.
Their fellowship broke the day Man believed the questioning lies about God's Word-- assuming life could be better without His protective and personal covering. From that point, Man knew the guilt of sin and became aware of his nakedness. God chose to provide a temporary covering through a sacrifice-- one that foreshadowed God's plan to establish a permanent covering (total forgiveness) for man's sin. He offered His innocent son, Jesus Christ, as the perfect, sinless sacrifice and allowed his blood to be shed to forgive all our sins. Through faith in Christ, who lovingly took our consequence, we can have direct fellowship with God as Adam once did. "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
It is within this foundational idea that The Covering was named. Our purpose is to point visitors to Jesus Christ, the ultimate covering required to be joyfully sustainable in this life and the next. At The Covering, we hope to give guests direct and indirect opportunities to understand how all of creation can live, grow, and rest through man's renewed fellowship with God. (Romans 8:19-25).

Our gardens have a covering (mulch/wood chips) over them to ensure water retention and to promote decomposition and food sources for worms and beneficial bacteria. The covering also increases nutritive composition of the soil and plant life and encourages senescence & increases photosynthetic processes.
Overnight guests at The Covering will experience ultimate convenience and comfort
while staying in their own private and cozy cottage.
