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.”

Honoring Mountain Sky Landscaping
In November, we witnessed an extraordinary act of generosity from Mountain Sky Landscaping — one that transformed the Ranch in ways we could have only dreamed of.
More than 50 team members donated an entire day of skilled labor and materials, accomplishing in hours what would have taken us years to complete. Their crew repaired and upgraded Combat Outpost Salisbury, restored sections of our irrigation system, tackled extensive upkeep and weeding, and donated rock and mulch that immediately elevated the look and function of our grounds.
Their impact was felt everywhere you looked. Because of Mountain Sky’s gift, the Ranch is safer, more welcoming, and better prepared to serve veterans throughout the year.
We are deeply grateful for their hard work, their heart, and their belief in our mission.
They didn’t just improve our property — they strengthened our ability to serve those who served us. We encourage our friends and supporters to consider Mountain Sky Landscaping for future projects. Choosing businesses that invest in veterans is a meaningful way to give back and keep this circle of support growing.
Thank you, Mountain Sky Landscaping. Your generosity made a lasting difference.
