From The Unsettling of America, Wendell Berry famously says - “The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all."

Approaching Lent –– Sister Grove Farm newsletter
Last week I was feeling overwhelmed. Deadlines, projects and responsibilities on the farm felt heavier than usual. I could feel myself getting a little panicky, perhaps more than was called for. When this happens, my anxiety only makes things worse. I can be my own worst enemy sometimes. - Does that...

Christmas Gift of Incarnational Relationship –– Sister Grove Farm newsletter
During these 12 days of Christmas, it is right that we focus on the birth of Jesus. What we can sometimes fail to see though is the earthiness of this nativity and its most wondrous gift of Incarnation. So, with the Word becoming flesh, our emphasis last week was on bodily incarnation - its simultan...
On this 9th day of Christmas, we reflect on the radically incarnational message of this season with the help of Sallie McFague.
This offered as a reflection of the Christmas message found and needing to be heard in The Body of God: An Ecological Theology written by late eco-feminist theologian Sallie McFague. Reading and reflecting on this book during Christmastide, the Festival of Incarnation, seems appropriate. The Word be...
We have a link tree. Cool! See what's on it....

Our hearts are full of Thanks-giving this week. Spending time around the table with extended family and special friends is always a gift for which we are grateful.

Soil: It is All that Matters –– Sister Grove Farm newsletter
“What we do to the land, we do to ourselves.” So says Wendell Berry - and, as of yet, I have not found anyone who disagrees. I offered this quote to a group of folks who gathered a few nights ago for a community lecture at a local bank. They all nodded in agreement. “What we do to the land, we...
