Faith, Farming and Food Forum set to take place in Owego

The community is invited to come and learn new ways to restore, revive and renew the land and your body. Are you interested in new techniques that will improve your farmland, gardens, your physical health and your animals’ health? Are you in need of alternative ways to help increase your knowledge of farming and live a healthier lifestyle? Then the upcoming Faith, Farming, Food and Fitness Forum, planned for Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9 and 10 is just for you. The event will take place at the Cafetorium, 1277 Taylor Rd. in Owego (the old Washington Gladden School Building).

Three guest speakers will be sharing knowledge after years of study and “doing” proven methods that help the land and your body get healthier. Dr. Roger DeHaan practices alternative and holistic medicine and has gained knowledge and expertise in a diverse range of fields including health, nutrition, medicine, science, history and theology. He has a doctorate in veterinary medicine and MTS in theology. 

Dr. DeHaan lived 12 years in the rainforests of Colombia developing community farms and educational, agricultural and health programs. He has authored three books: Our Foods Are Killing Us: Restoring the Creation Mandate; Healing for People, Pets, Plants and the Planet; and Creation Care: The Truth About “Living Green” and Healing Our Planet. Check out his information at www.aholisticvet.com.

Dr. Hue Karreman has more than 30 years of practical experience working with dairy cows. He has given presentations about organic livestock health care to farm and veterinary organizations in the U.S., Canada, Holland and South Korea. He has published three outstanding books and barn guides on treating dairy cows, naturally. 

He is co-owner with his wife, Suzanne, for the 400 acre Reverence Farm and Café in Graham, N.C.   Suzanne Nelson Karreman was a successful and fulfilled reporter of finances and economics in the D.C. area prior to moving to North Carolina. Her vision was back to the land with regenerative farming. Ninety percent of the food in their cafe is grown on their personal farm. She enjoys the agricultural farm life and raising animals.
