FARMING

FARMING IS A PASSION - A DEVOTED AND HONORABLE WAY OF LIFE. IT IS A HERITAGE AND A LEGACY THAT CONNECTS ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT AND THE FORCE THAT FEEDS THE WORLD. FARMING REQUIRES A STRONG MIND, BIG HEART, AND PROFOUND PATIENCE TO WEATHER LONG HOURS, HARSH CONDITIONS, AND UNPREDICTABLE PRICES. THERE IS A SPIRITUAL PRESENCE ON THE FARM AND IN THE LAND. HERE, FAITH, COMMITMENT, AND INTEGRITY PROVIDE STRENGTH FOR THE UNWAVERING LABOR THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE ITSELF. IT IS WHERE ROOTS RUN AS DEEP IN THE HOUSE AS THEY DO IN THE FIELD - WHERE FAMILIES ARE BOUND STRONG BECAUSE OF SHARED EXPERIENCES, AND ARE GROWN WITH LOVE AND TENDERNESS. IT IS WHERE EXAMPLES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, AND WHERE THANKSGIVING HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR. THANK YOU GOD FOR AGRICULTURE AND THE LIFE OF FARMING
