Sustainable farms show how Catholics can apply Laudato Sí to their daily lives
National Catholic Reporter featured Little Portion Farm in their June 25 report on sustainable farms. Matt Jones, Little Portion’s farm and outreach coordinator, was also included in a webinar June 23 sponsored by Catholic Climate Covenant where he was able to talk about how Laudato Sí, with its call to heed “the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor,” spurred the Conventual Franciscan friars in Ellicott City, Maryland, to stop leasing their land for industrial, single-crop farming and launch Little Portion Farm, which raises organic crops for a soup kitchen in nearby Baltimore.
