Monks End Farming Tradition at New Melleray Abbey
Abbot Brendan Freeman says the New Melleray Abbey farming operation in Peosta Iowa will end after 160 years. Once run by 150 monks, the farm declines in crop demand and monk numbers, with equipment auctioned and cropland leased. The 35-member community, average age 70, will shift to a 5 acre garden to grow produce for personal use.
