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.
The Six Biblical Keys
Acknowledge God and God alone
Consider your ways
Understanding God’s all sufficiency
What you sow you will reap
Bring the tithes and offerings back to God
Stake your claim
The Four Management Keys
On time
To high standards
With minimal waste
With the fruit of the Spirit
The Six Technology Keys
No ploughing

Feed plants from the top
Ensure canopy cover
Permanence
Powder Keg Farms is proud to be the first and only model demonstration farm for Farming God’s Way in the country as of January 2024.
If you are interested in learning this method, please contact us to discuss. We are excited to teach this humble and effective type of farming that yields a bounty of nutritious, wholesome food, all from their own stewardship.
May 28-31 (4 days) | June 17-21 (5 days) | August 19-23 (5 days)
Workshop held from 9 am to 3:30 pm at Powder Keg Farms 1968 Powder Keg Lane, High View, WV 25808
Jesus used farming stories to reach His audience in a largely agrarian society, therefore, this program was founded with the vision of teaching willing individuals about farming techniques that include Biblical, management and technical principles, live demonstrations, and hands-on learning.
Registration is limited. There is no charge for the workshop itself, but there will be a free-will offering for our trainers’ expenses.
The Field Guide and The Vegetable Guide are the workshop resource materials and can be downloaded/printed at farming-God's-way.org or will be available for $20.
Please bring a bag lunch each day, and a heavy digging hoe, (we like roguehoe.com model 55F or the 4" grub hoe from easydigging.com) and 4 - 4" nails. Dress for the weather. Tuesday and Wednesday, we will be inside the plastic-sided propagation house, outside or in a high tunnel with hands-on activities. Bring a chair if you'd like; buckets are the alternative. Thursday, we will be working on the demonstration garden. Be prepared to get your hands dirty implementing all you've learned and empowered with a resource to serve others in Word and deed.
Eukarya Christian Academy is raising funds for seeds, hand tools, work gloves, etc. for Farming God’s Way at Powder Keg Farms. Please join together with us get this important program up and growing!
