STORIED LEGACIES OF FARMING

We believe farming is not only a way to make a living. Over time, it forms a certain kind of life. The daily rhythms of the land shape people marked by grit, creativity, and humility.

 

In many places across North America, that life has long been lived alongside the ministry of the local church. Where the work of the farm and the life of the Gospel intersect, families have built quiet legacies of faith and farming across generations. The name 99 Farmers is both inspired by and in honor of these communities. 99 Farmers was founded in 2019 by farmers and leaders shaped by that very tradition.

 

Our work in Central America grows out of that same vision. We believe smallholder farmers, rooted in the life of the church and equipped for their vocation, will also have the capacity to build these kinds of legacies in their own communities through agricultural training, discipleship, and church planting.

 

For the Farmer. For The Church.
