At Spirit Tree Farms, our belief and mission is that Jesus Christ brings peace into our lives, We’ve learned, and want to share with others, that Nature is one of His tools — one of His underutilized methods — for bringing us His peace. But what happens when Nature’s Peace — Christ’s peace through Nature…
Contention is rampant in our culture today. Some is fun, playful: Dawgs versus Vols? Utes versus Cougars? Packers versus Seahawks? Cubs versus Brewers? USA versus Brazil (in women’s soccer).

Coupled with the background of water splashing in the pond and Creation Girl Marnie Kuhns’ extemporaneous piano music, the colors, movement, and sounds help us connect with God in Nature, #BeZen, and #FindNatureJoy. Sunflowers are native to North America, and I believe this…

Planting wildflower gardens to attract birds, butterflies, moths and other pollinators is a wonderful and interesting activity that often brings unexpected results. Nowhere is this more demonstrated than our sticks in wildflowers discovery.

Early this morning I realized I should get busy hand watering my newly-planted squash, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and other garden plants here at Spirit Tree Farm. Actually, let me rephrase that.
