Farming God’s Way (now known as Foundations for Farming) is an amazing ministry based in Zimbabwe, Africa that teaches Biblical principles of farming to the poor. Their love and passion for Christ is inspiring and challenging. I desire to see their same heart in the farmers of America. Please take the time to watch this …

I took this video while milking the cow. I don’t have a lot of time to write, but I recently got an I-pod and will try to post some videos I take while I work. “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” …

A new edition of Born-Again Dirt, with an added foreword by Joel Salatin, is now available! Newly revised, with editing changes and some bonus material, I am hoping the Lord will use the changes we have made to help encourage more born-again farmers.

On March 14th, join other born-again farmers in praying for each other’s agricultural endeavors. The farming season is coming fast upon many of us.
