Farmer Boy to Wendell Berry: Exploring Nature in Classical Education
About this episode
In this week’s Classical Et Cetera, we explore the value of simple living through an agrarian lens. Drawing inspiration from _Farmer Boy_ , Wendell Berry, and more classic novels and authors, we discuss how embracing agrarian principles can enrich our lives and education. Join us as we reflect on the importance of connecting with nature and cultivating a deeper appreciation for the land. This episode highlights how classical education aligns with these values, fostering a sense of community and responsibility toward our environment.
