Wondering what to do this weekend? Need resources to help raise discussion in your church or school on why Christian attention to food and farming is so urgent? Check out these three must-watch videos on farms and farming.
73 Cows
At about ten minutes in, I started to sob, thinking maybe there was hope for us after all. This short film tells the story of an English cattle farmer who follows his heart.
Eating Animals
Based on the best-selling book by the same name, this is a compelling and comprehensive look at the toll factory farming takes on animals, farmers, the land, and people who speak out against the cruelty they see.
Soul Fire Farm: Feeding the Soul, Growing Community
A short feature on Soul Fire Farm, a BIPOC-centered community farm that works to raise awareness of and combat racism and injustice in our food system. “In the 1910 census, black folks owned and operated about 14% of US farms…there was a long time throughout history when the most likely occupation you’d find an African-American person in would be farming and now that’s the least likely.”

Soul Fire Farms had 3 acres for egg production and chicken meat…really! The chicken – the most oppressed land animal with no respect what-so-ever, not even on a farm to end food injustices and who "raises awareness". Where is their awareness for the chickens?
That should read "has" three acres….not "had".
