WCK’s #ChefsForGaza teams can no longer cook meals or bake bread, but we are still finding ways to support Palestinian communities. We are focusing our efforts on potable water distribution sites at several locations to ensure families can access lifesaving drinking water.
I’m thrilled and excited to see the choice of Cardinal Robert Prevost as our new pope! How truly exciting to see a pope, not just who is American, but from my hometown of Chicago — born just 2 months before me.
Pope Leo seems to be the kind of voice the world needs now. For the church, for our country, for our shared humanity. I believe that he is a voice for all of us, a voice of kindness, compassion, and love. I believe that he can continue on the courageous ministry and legacy of Pope Francis, and help us all recognize that love is what will bring us together. I think the world is ready for his voice. Welcome, #PopeLeo!
This week's review was full of fresh lettuce and produce from the garden, a beekeeping workshop by our passionate beekeeper, and lots and lots of peaches! It's a very *sweet* time of the year at White Oak Pastures!
Look I’m not going to say all is well with the world. I know there is so much work to do. There’s work to be done to bridge divides and heal divides. But when I’m still, I know that the good is breaking through. #ivebeenthinking

WCK distributed hot meals to children with hearing and intellectual disabilities at Al-Hanan School for Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities in southern Gaza.

Since so many things are happening on the farm, we thought it would be fun to put together a week in review reel, which we hope to post every week. We hope you enjoy!
- Our pigs feasted on pecans and eggs.
- We worked through and tagged our sheep flock.
- We aerated the soil in our vegetable garden to start planting more summer crops.
- We harvested some wild berries in the fence rows near the cabins.
- Our rabbits weighed in and new ear ID tattoos.
- Our hogs got a new slip and slide.
- We hosted some wonderful folks at the CFAR Immersive Introduction to Regenerative Agriculture workshop.
- We moved our "rabbitat" for fresh grazing.
We hope you had as good of a week as we did!
