A working Ranch where veterans find community and rediscover purpose.
On 19 acres between Bend and Redmond, COVR blends agriculture, community support, hands-on projects, and lifelong learning opportunities where veterans belong, contribute, and grow.
Veterans from across Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook Counties come to the Ranch for many reasons: to contribute their skills, learn something new, enjoy time on the land, or simply be around others who understand their experience. Rooted in agriculture and hands-on projects, the Ranch offers a non-stigmatizing environment where connection and purpose grow naturally—strengthening community and supporting well-being through participation.
Central Oregon Veterans Ranch is an official 501(c)(3) non-profit. Tax ID: 37-1755279.
“Every time I drive onto the property, I feel better. More at ease. Relaxed.”
“I always enjoy bringing my family out. Staff is great with my kids.”

Our Commitment to Respect and Inclusion
Central Oregon Veterans Ranch is built on the belief that every veteran deserves dignity, compassion, and respect. We welcome veterans, volunteers, partners, and supporters from all backgrounds and beliefs, united by a shared commitment to ensuring that no veteran has to face life's challenges alone.
We collaborate with organizations across the nonprofit, business, civic, and faith communities when those partnerships help us better serve veterans. While our partners may represent a variety of perspectives, our mission remains unchanged: creating a welcoming place where veterans find purpose, connection, and healing through nature and community.
