Our Common Home Farms
We care for our common home in three key ways: by providing nutrient-dense, locally grown, and ethically produced food to our community, with special attention to those most in need; by offering education on sustainable agricultural practices, the vital connection between good food and good health, and the responsibilities that come with our shared communion with both the human family and the natural world; and by building resilience to climate change through sustainable food production, habitat creation, and efforts to mitigate its effects.
EDUCATION
We strive to educate our community on sustainable agricultural practices. Our farms serve as learning spaces, offering insight into responsible farming methods, the connection between faith, values, and working the land, and the importance of building community through agriculture. We also explore ways to extend local food production beyond our own fields and hoop houses.
GOOD FOOD AND GOOD HEALTH
A major aim or Our Common Home Farms is to help address the suffering of the many fellow community members in need. Our Common Home Farms will both help feed the poor through donations to local food banks and community food kitchens.
NATURAL WORLD
We have responsibilities inherent within the communion of each individual with the human family and the natural world; and to build climate change resilience in the areas of food production, the creation of habitat, and the mitigation of climate change processes
