Member Benefits
Why Members Join
Training & Education
Year-round online curriculum with exclusive, family-friendly training intensives at our flagship 20-acre luxury homestead and 1,000-acre woodland facility.
Learn regenerative agriculture, livestock, food storage, off-grid power & water systems, medical readiness, security, and more.
Courses taught by seasoned homesteaders, and military & intelligence community veterans.
Events & Field Days
Events at our homestead blend learning and luxury. We may get our hands dirty in the garden or picking fresh eggs, then enjoy a wine reception poolside.
At our private 1,000-acre woodland property, members turn knowledge into lived capability. Enjoy private hunting, off-grid exercises, bushcraft, tracking, ATVs, and more.
Families build essential life-skills and lifelong memories.
On-site Provisions & Storage
Preparation requires more than knowledge — it requires stuff. In the military, we call it logistics.
Members access curated disaster kits, get-home bags, bug-out bags, long-term food systems, medical supplies, and more.
Optional storage is available on-site in our barns and indoor facilities.
Hi, I'm Mark.
I'm one of the founders of Resilience Ranch DC. We built the ranch because we knew like-minded families in the National Capital Region who wanted to learn these skills. We also knew many great instructors from our time in the military.
As a team, we operate on the following principles:
1) Faith-aligned values
2) Discretion and privacy
3) Professional excellence
4) Luxury hospitality
5) Family-first programming
Our goal is that members of Resilience Ranch have newfound skills to care for their families, know other families who can do the same, have redundant supplies stored securely, and feel less dependent on fragile systems.
We also want to be very clear with you about what we are.
We are:
✅ A like-minded community learning resiliency skills from national experts
✅ A working 20-acre homestead + 1,000-acre woodlands where guests can get their hands dirty
✅ A place to obtain and (optionally) store preparedness provisions
✅ A place where smart preparedness is dignified & valued
We are not:
❌ A conspiracy retreat
❌ An "end-times" bunker community
❌ A live-in homesteading commune
If what we are sounds good to you, we'd invite you to learn more.

Instructors
Experienced Homesteading & Regenerative Agriculture Experts
Our homesteading and regenerative agriculture instructors are working practitioners — ranchers, farmers, and land stewards who live what they teach.
Members learn soil regeneration, rotational grazing, livestock management, water systems, gardening design, and practical food independence from experts who have built resilient operations from the ground up.
The focus is production, stewardship, and long-term sustainability.
Military & Intelligence Personnel
Resilience Ranch was founded by military veterans...and we brought some friends.
Our security training is led by former special operations and CIA professionals with real-world operational experience. They teach home defense fundamentals, firearms safety, communications, situational awareness, and applied fieldcraft — from tracking to survival medicine. Instruction is disciplined, practical, and responsible.
The objective is calm, confident preparedness in an increasingly dangerous world.
