What will You Learn?

By the end of the training you will be able to:

  • Communicate how the gospel relates to agriculture.

  • Manage your garden in a way that produces joy and makes a profit.
  • Use eight simple questions to create an easy, but effective garden plan.
  • Clear a spot for your garden without plowing or tilling
  • Make thermal compost and natural organic fertilizers
  • Layout garden beds with a simple system that allows for ease of management and space for a variety of crops.
  • Plant seeds or transplants with a simple spacing system that is easy to follow and remember.
  • Care faithfully for your garden with three simple tasks.
  • Share your faith in Jesus through your garden.
  • Train others in what you have just learned.

We will also be covering more in-depth topics like:

  • Scaling up for homestead-level food security
  • Growing for markets
  • Alternative (off-grid) energy
  • Backyard chickens
  • Home dairy operations

There will also be time for discussion and questions for more specific topics pertinent to the students attending.

Interest in Online Training Event?

If you are interested in the training but can't come to one in-person would you be interested in an online training event? I have had some people ask me to do a virtual version and would like to know if there is enough interest to put one together.

God Bless and let me know if you have any questions! We stand by to serve.
