The Sower (Spring 2026)
The Spring 2026 Sower shares updates from the farm, reports on antiwar resistance from Nevada to Kansas City, reflections on Dorothy Day and the Woodstock generation, and an invitation to gather in Maloy on June 20 for the solstice and the feast of John the Baptist.
The Sower is the newsletter of Strangers and Guests Catholic Worker Farm in Maloy, Iowa.
Here is the spring issue of The Sower, news from Strangers and Guests Catholic Worker farm in Maloy, Iowa. Along with Betsy’s report on the gardens and flocks and the connections she makes in the broader local community, is news of resistance to war and to the nuclear annihilation that the oligarchs are hellbent on. Friend Abby Rampone writes of her “Holy week pilgrimage against the bomb” in Nevada and we include Mike Miles’ comments on the Midwest Catholic Workers’ Retreat and Resistance at Kansas City’s nuclear bomb factory, where “over $1 trillion of the public treasury is being spent to make hydrogen bombs ‘safer and more usable’.” Drawing on primary sources, Brian writes of Dorothy Day’s friendly relations with the “Woodstock Generation.” For those who couldn’t make it to Woodstock in 1969, an invitation to our annual celebration of the summer solstice and feast of John the Baptist in Maloy on June 20.
We are grateful to God, to this piece of rich earth and to our friends who help sustain us as we approach 40 years of living here.
Brian
