Start the Revolution - Grow Your Own Food

J. Fowler on his blog wrote: "We're exploring ways in which sustainable and intentional living intersects with Christian faith. Here is a video I did of a local sustainable farmer who is a friend of mine. Should the church pursue sustainable living? I say yes. What do you think?"

Here is the YouTube he posted on his blog:

Here is the URL link for the farm's web site: http://www.mountainrunfarm.com/
here is another video which introduces us the sustainable living in the city, if you have some room and the city does not mind that you raise chickens.
For for some suggestions:

Growing food at home is a revolutionary activity, danargous.

At less of the readers to Fowler's blog thinks the answer for churches is yes.

Yes, absolutely. I like this video and what your friend is doing. The challenge is that the world is now highly urbanized with many previously rural people forced to migrate to cities and live in environmentally degraded areas of those cities. The U.S. many churches are in suburban biological wastelands of one type of turf grass (highly chemically treated) with supermarkets at car distances (not to mention that chickens, non grass front lawns, etc... are against many town rules and are finable). It's going to take a reimagining of community and a claiming of land, commuting patners, retails, to turn this around. I am hopefully in that this churches this may be the very spark that churches need to expand from merely being a services provider for the soul and psyche into a place a true community, a place that encourages gardening, community debates, politics of sustainability at the local level! For very poor communities it may also mean that church communities take a active role in environmental remediation and encourage urban agriculture that may actually make a life difference in getting fresh food (often the most expensive) and antidotes to horrendous pollution.

So what do you think? Any comments or ideas?
