Send me a text! I’d love to know what you're thinking!
Marcos Mujica, the President of Agrarian Craft, is a brilliant gardener and farmer. But here’s the cool thing about Marcos. His farming is not just about farming. It’s about participating with God in the healing of this world. It’s about restoring shalom to the earth. It’s about transforming the world, broken by sin, into what God intended when God created the world.
