Nugen’s Ranch is the real thing. A large homey facility, up-dated to modern standards, forms the core living and learning areas. A large garden, animal pens and sheds, and a large greenhouse take up the remaining area of the eight-acre site that fronts the Palmer-Wasilla Highway. Clients may also help run a thrift store and market seedlings and plants to the public, as part of their recovery therapy. An arts and crafts workshop and a workout room is also available to Nugen’s clients.
