Faithful Stewardship Classes


​Come to our farm this October for a hands-on, in depth training that will give you the tools and know-how to grow your own food, be more resilient and share the gospel with your community!

Next class:
Dates: October 7th, 2022 - Time: 9 AM - 5 PM - The "well-watered" garden
Dates: October 8th, 2022 - Time: 9 AM - 5 PM - The Advanced garden

With so much information out there, and much of it contradictory, knowing what is best without spending years experimenting can be a real challenge. This is why we offer hands-on trainings that will help equip you to grow a productive garden using low-tech, simple methods that copy God's design in creation. 
 
​We are offering three levels that can be taken all at once or gradually, starting with the "Well-Watered" garden basic class and moving up from there. 

1. The "Well-Watered" Garden
   - garden design and care
   - soil design and stewardship 
  - why should christians care about agriculture?
   - how healthy soil deals with pests and disease 
   - making disciples through Agriculture
​   - crop rotations
​   - and more!
2. The Grocery Garden
   - making quality compost 
   - fruitfulness and profitability  - the result of faithfulness
   - starting your own plants from seed 
   - mixing your own soil medium
   - fff training videos 
   - homestead health with foraged wild edibles 
3. The Resilient Garden
   - Successful succession planting (fresh eating year round)
   - How much to grow to feed a family
   - Keeping good records
    - Saving your own seed 
    - Natural refrigeration (root cellaring) 
​   - Sharing and training others 

​We believe Agriculture can be used as a tool to show who God is and tell the good news of the  Gospel, but it takes a change in our hearts and a willingness to follow after the humility, unselfishness and faithfulness of Jesus Christ. ​

Students will arrive Thursday morning and will leave Saturday night. If students are traveling in from long distance they may arrive Wednesday evening. Housing will be in shared rooms on the farm and meals will be family style at our farm-house. We will do our best to accommodate any food allergies.

​We abide by the methods of Foundations For Farming, which is an initiative aimed at bringing transformation to individuals, communities and nations through faithful and productive use of land.
