Pioneer Village, located in Wauchula, FL, is an extension for the women in the Lydia’s House women's program. Both are Christ-centered programs helping women coming out of destructive lifestyles and part of Sherry White Ministries, Inc.
The late 1800 farm is where families have weekly visitation. Horse drawn carriages, vegetable gardens, a General store and petting farm make Pioneer Village the perfect place for healing and restoration to take place.

Several years ago the Lord gave Ms. Sherry a vision of a Pioneer Style farm where children who had been abandoned, neglected, abused could come and visit their families.
Lydia’s House is a home for women coming out of destructive lifestyles. The program is for a period of at least 1 year and is free of charge. While God was doing great things in the lives of the women who commit to the one year program, it became apparent that many of them had children who had been abandoned along the way.
Mark and Sherry White stepped out in faith purchasing a 17 1/2 acre farm. After making two payments Ms. Sherry received a phone call asking how much was owed on the farm. The person who made the call said God told them to go to the bank and pay it off. They donated almost $190,000 dollars making the farm debt free. Duck Smith and Carl Saunders gave us additional acreage making the farm 20 acres. The property was assigned to Sherry White Ministries, Inc. for the benefit of Lydia’s House.
Sherry White Ministries, Inc. is a 501 c3 non profit organization committed to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Where are we now? Five additional acres were purchased adjoining the property giving us a total of 25 acres.
The farm offers horse therapy, sustainable gardening and provides the perfect place for family visitations.
