WORK WE DO...
"You can do more than pray, after you pray, but, you can't do more than
pray, until you pray." Our lives are centered on prayer as taught by our
Lord and Savior Jesus.We ask a blessing at all mealtimes; we read a
devotional each morning with another at night before we commit our souls
to Gods keeping. We read a chapter together each day. This and our
personal prayer lives is what sustains us through trying and joyful times
LANDAUER FARM

FROM OUR HAUS
SHIPSHOPWORKS:
BIRD IN BARN
We've all heard at one time or another the saying, "I can be Holy in Church on Sundays, but, the rest of the week is the real
world." Well, by living and working "as a Church,24/7", smack dab in the middle of everyday life,we ,indeed, present our
neighbors with a demonstration plot of what the Kingdom of God can be like. We have all the problems and issues of our
neighbors only we share the burden and it is light, for we have submitted ourselves to the yoke of Jesus! ( Matt 11: 28-30 )
Gustav Landauer, the German socialist, a big influence on Eberhard Arnold and "the
father of the Kibbutz movement in modern day Israel, said, "the blood of the farmer still
flows in the veins of every urban dweller and we must teach them to re-learn the old
skills". Our farm is named in his honor.
At present we are farming our small acreage, (3 1/2 acres), using only organic
methods. We want for ourselves and our neighbors to be free of the many poisons that
infect our daily food supply. We have a 100 x200 potato field in harvest now and a
96'x30' greenhouse and a 12' 30' smaller one. Both are being planted now for a winter
harvest of beets, onions, cabbage ,spinach and a number of other "cold hardy" crops.
Gustav, we are learning!
We also have laying chickens and ducks and shall add a milking goat this winter. We
have begun to sell our organic produce at prices way below what the local supermarket
sells their "pesticide product" for...insuring that everyone can afford organic. It' not just
for the elite.
Please know, when you visit that this is a working farm and a learning one too. If you
have skills along this way, please come and share them with us as we re-discover the
"ancient pathmarkers".
We are thankful for help extended to us by our neighbors and also from a local Amish
community.

Though our focus, insofar as work is concerned, is farming, we nevertheless, like most people need money,(coin of the realm) to
pay bills with. Here are listed the different crafts and businesses at present.
Our main focus is on saving souls; leading the lost to a dynamic relationship with God through His Son Jesus. A relation-
ship that is life changing and challenging...solidly grounded on an "OBEDIENT, LOVE, FAITH, RELATIONSHIP" as was taught
and lived by the early Church....( and later by the early Anabaptists).
