Teaching New Farmers

Posted on October 7th, 2019 by Noah Sanders

This past weekend we hosted a training for other farmers and gardeners here on our farm. I feel like it is important to share some of the things we have learned over the years with others who are just starting out.

While Micah was delivering your bags I was teaching a group of students about soil stewardship, compost, farm management, and basic no-till garden installation. The attendees were all followers of Jesus and we focused on learning to express the humility, unselfishness, and faithfulness of Jesus in the way we tend the land. It was a great weekend of fun and fellowship since we hosted almost everyone here on the farm. Dorothy actually cooked meals for all the students on top of getting baking done for y'all!

And just another reminder, we are opening up some more memberships to help pay for our new team member, Micah. If each of you could help find one more member then that would take care of his salary. For every member that you refer we also offer a $25 credit as a way of saying 'thank you!'. Would you be willing to help find one additional member? Ideally in your current neighborhood so we don't add a lot to our delivery route. If you know of anyone interested please put them in touch with me and I will give them a call. Thanks so much!
