There is a widespread assumption that organic agriculture is a secular environmentalist cause, but there is a growing contingent of conservative Christian farmers that is vital to the organic food and sustainable farming movement. This interesting balance, wherein the market tends to be politically left-leaning while the growers tend to be right-leaning, calls into question what Roland Barthes would call our "contemporary mythologies;" what it means to be an American Christian farmer and what it means to support sustainable agriculture. How are these groups portrayed as polarized and how has that portrayal affected environmentally sensible agricultural progress?

There is a widespread assumption that organic agriculture is a secular environmentalist cause, but there is a growing contingent of conservative Christian farmers that is vital to the organic food and sustainable farming movement. This interesting balance, wherein the market tends to be politically left-leaning while the growers tend to be right-leaning, calls into question what Roland Barthes would call our "contemporary mythologies;" what it means to be an American Christian farmer and what it means to support sustainable agriculture. How are these groups portrayed as polarized and how has that portrayal affected environmentally sensible agricultural progress?

This paper considers Wendell Berry's assertion that, as we all eat, we are all implicated in farming and explores what that means for Christians in particular, to whom eating can be a sacrilegious or sanctified act. It also discusses the role of Christianity and farming: in the formation of America and in the formation of the American identity. Applying these foundational themes, the paper chronicles three groups of Christian farmers at work: Calvinists, Mennonites, and fundamentalist Christians, and explores how they think about farming.

Though each farmer's core identity is based on a strict code of Christian conduct, how their faith affects their farming varies. The Calvinist farmers represent the notion that the market, not the Bible, dictates how they survive as farmers, but that they still choose to be farmers because of their faith. The Mennonite farmers make their farming decisions based on their belief in stewardship of community and of Creation before the individual, and simplicity of scale before economic profit. Finally, the fundamentalist Christian farmers practice sustainable farming methods motivated by the idea that their faith should touch everything that they do, celebrating God's explicit design.

These case studies suggest that it is time to describe a new "sociolect;" one that does not perpetuate the assumption that the mythologies surrounding sustainable agriculture and contemporary American Christian culture are "by nature" mutually exclusive. Instead, the groups should consider how mutually essential they are to each other's success and begin to look to each other for help.
