Become a Wagoneer

We Wagoneers need all the help the Lord is willing to offer. Hospitality. Prayer. Agricultural and Engineering experience. Stories. Book recommendations. Garden tools. Saved seeds. And friends along the Wagon trail. As Wendell Berry said, “Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it.” And if the Lord has blessed you with monetary abundance, please share. If not with us, with your neighbor.

For information on the projects we will have on the Wagon and to find out how to help, visit our website: http://wastenotwagon.wordpress.com.


love, the raggedy wagoneer.

Local Boy Makes Good

For those of you who may have missed it or live outside the Waco area, our very own David Cole, farm manager here at WHRI, made it on to the cover of the Waco-Trib today with an article highlighting the recent conversion of his diesel pickup to run on vegetable oil. 

While we are very proud of David, the best dang farm manager around, we were a little surprised to see that the article made no mention of the real reason that he first became interested in using vegetable oil as an alternative fuel source - his frightening addiction to chicken fingers.  Seriously.  He needs help.
