This past year has brought significant growth to Guidestone as an organization. This summer season had a very active and successful Farmhands educational program that provided many of our local children an opportunity to be exposed to life on the farm – which, for many of them, was their first time. Now, we are in the process of launching our Land-Link Initiative, a new program that will potentially serve as a statewide pilot project to connect retiring farmers and non-farming landowners with next generation farmers who desire to work the land, produce food, and otherwise participate in a local food economy. With every passing season, the commitment to our mission and the clarity with which we pursue it is becoming more powerful.
As our conviction grows, so does our need for a greater financial basis from which to operate. In light of this, we will be introducing a new membership drive at this year’s Pumpkin Patch Festival. We hope you will find the time to come out and celebrate the autumn season with us and to learn about all of the work that has been accomplished in the past year. We also hope you will consider joining us as a member. Our membership levels consist of Individual, Family and Business annual memberships.
We appreciate your support.
