Farming God’s Way breaks the Yoke of Poverty by teaching proven growing practices to help individuals, families, and communities meet their basic needs.
Farming God’s Way is a freely available resource and an amazing solution to the food security and poverty crisis facing communities around the world. It incorporates some of the oldest technologies on the planet which were designed by the Creator God when He put His laws in place to govern His diverse creation and their complex inter-relationships with one another. We are excited to show you how to use these technologies through our training sessions.
Registration for each stand-alone session is limited. There is no charge for the workshop itself, but a free-will offering will be taken for our trainers’ time and expenses. The Field Guide and The Vegetable Guide are the workshop resource materials for this training and can be downloaded and printed from Farming-Gods-Way.org, or printed materials will be available for purchase at the workshop for $5 each. Other items such as plant starts and garden tools may also be available for purchase.
Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear. In addition to a bag lunch, bring a hoe each day, preferably a heavy digging hoe. We like roguehoe.com model 55F or the 4” grub hoe from easydigging.com. You may also want to be equipped with a refillable water bottle, sunhat, change of clothes, and a pair of gardening gloves.
Be prepared to get your hands dirty while being empowered with a resource to serve others in Word and deed as you learn Farming God’s Way!
We are working with Eukarya Christian Academy in Stephens City, Virginia, to teach their students and faculty Farming God’s Way. This simple way of farming is a solution to the food security and poverty crisis facing agricultural communities, incorporating some of the oldest technologies on the planet designed by God.
Farming God’s Way is a holistic model of agriculture, meeting small-scale farmers where they are whilst dealing astoundingly well with the negative parameters facing them. Countless success stories abound from around the world, where farmers have implemented Farming God’s Way wholeheartedly, where lives and livelihoods have been transformed, with the evidence of food security, radically increased yields, profitability and the restoration of farmers’ self-worth.
This resource is freely available for individuals, NGOs, missions or churches to be able to use to make a difference in the lives of the communities where they have influence.
Farming God’s Way is made up of three spheres of influence: Biblical, Management and Technology, which are interwoven and applicable to agriculture and farmers.
