BBC World Service - Heart and Soul, Faith Based Farms

Religious groups across the US are farming for their faith

How believers are cultivating their faith by getting their hands dirty on faith based farms

Across the United States communities are growing of people choosing to live, work and worship together.

Colm Flynn takes to the farms and fields to meet the Muslims, Christians and even a Druid who want to show their faith through a shared love of farming.

He travels to the states of New Jersey, Wisconsin and Michigan to meet the diverse groups who express their faith through getting their hands dirty.

In the summer heat as they celebrate the holy month of Ramadan, Trinka tells Colm how she hopes that by valuing Gods earth while she was alive Allah will reward her in death.
