What might farming and nurturing Christian communities have in common?

We speak with Mary Berry, executive director of the Berry Center, and daughter of poet, farmer, and essayist Wendell Berry, along with fellow interviewer Fr. Clint Wilson, rector of St. Francis in the Fields, Harrods Creek, KY.

What does it mean to actually “Love your neighbor as yourself”? We talk about joy of hard work, growing up with Wendell Berry as a dad, faith and farming, and decisions to live with or against a given landscape. 

Mary Berry, Executive Director of The Berry Center, grew up at Lanes Landing Farm in Henry County, KY. She has farmed for a living in Henry County, and started The Berry Center in 2011 to continue the agricultural work of John Berry, Sr. and his sons, author Wendell Berry and former Kentucky state senator, the late John M. Berry, Jr. The Berry Center focuses on issues confronting small farming families in Kentucky and around the country.
