My name is Andrew Stoker. I will be 44 this year. I’m happily married with 7 children. I grew up on a farm so I have an extensive understanding of everything agriculture. I work as a building contractor so my building understanding is superior to most. We currently live on a small farm and enjoy all the joys and challenges of farm living! Our farm is located in southern Idaho.
Years ago I started having dreams that I should prepare myself, my family and property for a massive global disaster. That there will be thousands of people who will come from the south seeking refuge and I, if I prepare, am called by God to help them, not as a permanent arrival point but a refuel type situation.
I call my project the ARK. I am a, as some would say an intensely religious person. I am an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love and admire all of my fellow christian kindred, even if they do not share my religious affiliation. My life revolves around my faith. I would not and do not force my beliefs on anyone. I believe that any form of faith is beautiful and I will encourage you to believe how, where or what you may.
Unfortunately the way the world is structured it is hard to spend a ton of time preparing my property to function off grid and also make enough financial means to afford to live and purchase things I need to do it. I’m posting as a call for help. I have 3 comfortable homes and food to impart for trade for full time helpers. I have also been developing a RV and camp ground on my property so you could bring your own off grid living domicile. “There are only two creatures of value on the face of the earth: those with the commitment, and those who require the commitment of others.”
Tasks that may be involved: Building, Planting, Excavation, Managing Others, Planing, Organizing, Solar Panel Setup, Geothermal Greenhouse Construction, Digging a Second Well by Hand, etc.
I would love to share more info if requested. You can post on the forum or email me at
