As the collective voice of faithful stewardship in CT, we determined that we have a role to play in securing access to healthy nourishing food for people of all classes. Growing food and feeding each other is the oldest human enterprise and a sacred sharing for all faiths. How far we are from the trust, the effort and the community building that are essential aspects of human flourishing!
Add to that the environmental impact of huge mechanized farms and the high carbon emissions embedded in transporting the food we eat; we can do better!
We have gathered our network and allies for two annual conferences called simply Food and Faith to share and support faith-community based food and garden initiatives. We now know of several Sunday schools which have a gardening curriculum. We have dozens of congregations supporting local agriculture through CSA’s and dozens more which are growing and donating food to food pantries around the state.
We are proud of our local gardeners and social entrepreneurs. These folks are truly outstanding in their fields!
