The foundation of Mission Farm is love.
We believe that human beings are essentially creatures made of love and for love.
Our work is to care for and nurture Creation.
Our Vision
The ecological crisis of our time calls us to understand the interconnection of all things and the value of biodiversity. This guides our vision of our future at Mission Farm.
We are responding to our local food crisis by creating a sustainable, regenerative plan for growing food at Mission Farm. Like all good things, this will take time. In the meantime, we are working on our churchyard garden with help from the community.
Join us at Mission Farm and Church of Our Saviour as we live into the intersection of Land, Community, and Spirit.
