Spirit & Soil is a registered non-profit with the state of Virginia and was formed to create a vibrant, spirit-centered internship that focuses on “the original mandate” to be fruitful and multiply. The internship is focused on developing an understanding for our place in creation, with God, while also equipping each intern with the practical skills and experience for homesteading and farming. Our program will be a 12-week intensive where students will be exposed to many different farming enterprises, farm business skills, natural healing and cooking skills, and most importantly, biblical understanding and encounter with God so that they can leave equipped practically and spiritually in farming.

We are in the process of completing the material and will be hiring a designer to help us lay out the material to ultimately be printed into a book called ‘Spirit & Soil.’ It will be a curriculum/devotional that we will use here on our property but will also be written in a way that is self-guided so people can go through it wherever they are at their own pace. The ultimate goal of this printed material would be to help empower other Jesus-following farmers and farms that can launch internships of their own and help pass on their farm skills to the next generation all while learning what it means to be a steward of the land as God intended. 

We are looking to raise $10,000 to help pay the graphic designers, illustrators, and copywriters needed to see this project come to life.
