The Family Farm
Friends of St. Timothy work hard to strengthen local community. One way to do this is to support our local family farms - for the sake of our community and for the sake of our health. Full Quiver Farm is an excellent example of a family that is attempting to rebuild the idea of the "family farm" - which steps completely outside the paradigm of the Agrobusiness mentality of monocultural strip-mining of our farmlands.
Nutrition
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. It supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy formula for infants.
