Menno Village - Mennonite Mission Network

MMN MISSION PARTNER

Menno Village

Menno Village

Menno Village is an agricultural initiative of Mennonite churches near Sapporo that emphasizes sustainable agriculture and creation care.

The Christian community known as Menno Village is a small hillside farm on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan. In addition to providing food to their neighbors in a format known as "community supported agriculture," Menno Village has the goal of becoming a culture of caring. Such an intentional community works at issues of economics and technology based on the "living word" that comes with Christian faith, challenging idolatry, empowering people, and loving humanity. Residents participate in the simple yet demanding task of growing food for the sake of understanding the work it takes to keep humanity alive, so they can speak good news and challenge those ideas and systems that exploit people and exploit the land.
