We are blessed to have many very generous benefactors who assist us both financially and in other ways, and whose support is truly essential in order for us to continue our mission and vocation as Norbertine Canonesses. We also strive to do our part to be as self-sufficient as possible, in keeping with the desires of our holy father St. Norbert and our Order's tradition. To further this goal, we have a monastery farm which includes a large vegetable garden, fruit orchards, dairy cows, and milking sheep. Our primary income-generating endeavors are breeding dogs (AKC Labrador Retrievers and AKC Anatolian Shepherd Dogs), and a convent gift shop in which we sell a number of homemade foods and our artisan cheese, as well as religious and apothecary items.
