A Hunger For Faith-Based Ag Education


A vacation bible school student greets a calf at Entzminger Dairy, Jamestown, ND, as part of a lesson on "creation".


This time last year, I wrote this guest blog post for a dear friend and an "agvocate" I admire greatly, Michele Payn-Knoper at Cause Matters Corp. , about the concept of faith-based agriculture education. THANKS Michele for this opportunity!


Thought you all might be interested in seeing it since it's back to school time and as a farm wife and mother of a pre-kindergarten student, I'm thinking of what is being said about agriculture in the classroom and what I can do to help tell the story of agriculture both in and out of the classroom...

Enjoy!

  1. Thanks for sharing the link, what an amazing post. I am definitely going to be sharing with my blog readers. Will you do the project again? Recently, I wrote this article about church and food - http://crystalcattle.blogspot.com/2011/08/pastor-becomes-vegetarian.html

  2. Thanks Crystal! I'm hoping we can do a similar project in the future. We belong to a different church now, so we'll see how Vacation Bible school develops in the coming years. LOVE your blog, by the way! Your blogging guide is GREAT!
