Whatever is growing we will help you pick . . . in addition there is always a bit of agricultural & biblical education along the way. 100% Natural Produce. Check out the Classes page for news on when different specialized classes are happening. Mission Work to Third World Countries Most years, the Mr. Peter & Dr. Diane Dickinson and their family take a mission trip to a third world country. In 2008, the Dickinsons' travels took them to Buriram Thailand. While there, they do agricultural education, Christian education, and Veterinary Medicine. (Dr. Diane is a licensed veterinarian). In an effort to assist these impoverished peoples, they purchase items from the people they work with, and sell them in the shop. 100% of the proceeds from these sales are returned directly to these people. 2009 found them in Malawi, Africa & 2010 in Mongolia. If you want to know more about these trips simply ask and we will pull out the slide show programs. 2012 Heart of the Shepherd will be heading back to Mongolia to develop some wool mills. Heart of the Shepherd's Mission Project is a special part of Shepherd's Shop Though we're still small, the goal is to be an outlet for underprivileged people groups. Thai children craft jewelery to pay for their education; Thai "bar-girls" (exploited and oppressed) are crafting cards & purses to find a different occupation; Slum families of the Philippines create wallets and lunch-bags from colorful recycled food packages. Anything you buy in this category goes to bettering the lives of the destitute. Want to know more? Our Bible Garden is ready to be roamed! Over a hundred plants with tidbits on their histories and a pertinent Bible verse (often a direct reference) are waiting for discovery. Self-guided tours are available whenever Shepherd's Cross is open. Additionally, pre-scheduled guided tours are available with Master Gardener Wilma Thompson. "Grandma Wilma" as she is known, will give you a homespun version of God's majesty in the garden. The Tour Barn is open! The new home of our gift shop, petting zoo, learning stations, hand craft lessons, and a host of other events The gambrel roof, Amish built barn, built in 2007, is a state of the art facility, complete with modern restrooms.
