Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before edible classrooms began "sprouting" in elementary schools, before buzzwords like "sustainable agriculture", "organic," or "veganic" came into existence, an exceptional woman named Ellen G. White penned numerous counsels to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its institutions on the importance of farming, an outdoor life, and manual labor. Though often remembered for other things, Mrs. White was actively engaged in not only farming, but helping those in need to get established on farms. With God's leading, her guiding hand was also deeply involved in the establishment of a model school in Australia-a school that wrapped farming deeply into its highly successful curriculum. A hundred years have now come and gone since her death, yet the writings of this visionary woman continue, when followed, to bring much blessing to those involved. In hopes that this compilation may encourage others to think deeply on and implement these counsels, this volume is humbly presented.
