Innovative evangelism launched: Bible study and gardening

Tom, a visitor to the community farm.

By bringing God, Bible study and gardening together, Hazelnut Community Farm in East Bristol is pioneering an innovative approach to living out the Christian faith that reaches their neighbourhood with the gospel while combating the climate crisis.

Located in the grounds of St Anne’s Church, the farm is both a Christian community and a community garden, a space for outdoor worship and a thriving vegetable plot.

Founder of the farm, John White was inspired to start the project several years ago after visiting Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders. Melrose Abbey was Scotland’s first Cistercian monastery and White was intrigued by its history of growing food and “around the clock worship”.
