The Farminary is a place where theological education is integrated with small-scale regenerative agriculture to train faith leaders who are conversant in the areas of ecology, sustainability, and food justice. It is designed to train students to challenge society’s 24–7 culture of productivity by following a different rhythm, one that is governed by the seasons and Sabbath.
Over the last decade, the Farminary has become not only a critical place of learning for seminary students but for the wider community as well. It is the intention that the 10th anniversary celebration event — September 24-27, 2025 in Princeton, NJ —includes a line-up of workshops and conversations that reflect the core values of the Farminary and appeal to people in the church and beyond.
The event includes time on the farm, time with one another, and time with some of the brightest minds continuing to shape conversations related to ecology and theology, food justice, sabbath, and more, including Willie Jennings, Barbara Brown Taylor, Jeff Chu, Michael Twitty, Tiya Myles, and Heber Brown, among others.
