Resources

About 20 people joined our sustainable farm event on Saturday, September 20, 2025. We toured the farm operations at Jubilee Climate Farm and Second Mountain Farm and had energetic discussions about obtaining land, labor demands, developing markets, improving soils, and value added processing. We see this as the beginning of an effort to support sustainable, regenerative farming in the Shenandoah Valley.

The Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions has great resources for congregations. Their Power of Faith program connects houses of worship interested in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions with experts, coaching, and peer support. Their Tree of Life campaign encourages climate-friendly and ecosystem-friendly practices on faith community grounds.

Brugmansia Ministries partners with faith organizations to rethink ministry in light of the challenges of climate change and climate-induced migration.
