Renowned farmer/author David Kline
to keynote faith-farming event
Mount Pleasant, PA -- Continuing to explore the Biblical roots of authentic
and sustainable agriculture, "Farming with Values that Last 2006: Models for
the Journey" will be held Feb. 24-26 at Laurelville Mennonite Church Center
(LMCC) in western Pennsylvania.
The weekend features worship, singing, workshops practical and
inspirational, local food and lots of relationship building for farmers and
their supporters.
Speaking Friday evening on his personal story and Saturday morning on
farming as creation care will be David Kline, a dairy farmer, frequent
speaker at sustainable farming events and author two books: Great
Possessions: An Amish Farmer's Journal and Scratching the Woodchuck: Nature
on an Amish Farm . Kline, and Elsie, his wife, and their family milk 35
Jerseys on a 120-acre organic farm in Holmes County, Ohio.
Frequently quoted and often visited by students, farmers and scholars, Kline
is best known for his careful stewardship of all the life on the farm that
he observes with a keen and sensitive eye. The integrated farming practices
he follows allow him to tend his 35 intensively grazed Jerseys with
kindness, farm-produced grass and crops, and virtually nothing else --
profitably.
Yale historian Scott Stoller wrote: "David Kline's land thinking is
traditional without being nostalgic, practical without nodding to
technology." Another academic has said: "Kline's essays explore the rich
beauties of rural life and the threats to its survival, while they provide
gentle, probing cultural criticism."
Workshops: meat marketing to the city, on-farm pizza baking, composting,
soil health, growing raspberries, sustainable woodlots, faith shaping
policy, and more.
* Worship leader: rural pastor S. Roy Kaufman (Freeman, S.D.), long-time
advocate for sustainable, viable rural communities.
* Song leader: Erin Clymer (Pittsburgh, PA), musician, singer and
development director for LMCC.
* Workshop coordinator: Ron Meyer (Fresno, Ohio).
* Commercial/non-profit exhibits coordinator: Greg Bowman (Bally, PA).
Child-care available. The event opens with supper Friday evening and closes
with lunch Sunday. LMCC is a 250-acre camp and retreat center at the foot of
the Laurel Mountains, located about 50 miles east of Pittsburgh.
