Plainsong Farm
Goal of Program
This nine month program for young adults, ages 21-30, offers immersive experiences and education in small-scale regenerative agriculture, spiritual practice, Christian learning, entrepreneurship and leadership, and communal living. As a center for farm-based discipleship, we are working to catalyze a culture of Christianity grounded in the stewardship of Creation, and to equip a generation of young leaders able to start and steward institutions at the intersection of discipleship, ecology, justice and health. As a living laboratory, we integrate faith and ecology through immersive, hands-on experiences.
