Farming is never just about the work. It’s not all about mending fences, feeding animals, building shelters, or moving dirt (though, don’t get us wrong, those things are part of it). So, what is it that makes farming so exciting for us, as farmers?
1. Connection to Land and Nature
Farming is a deep connection to the land and the natural world. Each day, we’re immersed in the rhythms of the earth—witnessing how everything fits together, from soil to sky, plants to animals. There’s a profound sense of partnership as you work with nature, not against it.
2. The Sense of Growth
Farming is a constant reminder of growth. We see it in the little things: a seed pushing through the soil, a baby chick learning to stand, or a new calf taking its first steps. There’s something magical in watching life unfold, in tending to something from the beginning and seeing it flourish under your care.
3. Harvesting the Fruits of Your Labor
The excitement of harvesting is unmatched. After months of work—planting, nurturing, and caring for every living thing—you finally see the result. The crops, the eggs, the animals—they are all the tangible proof that the work you put in matters. The harvest is when everything becomes real. It’s the moment when the effort transforms into abundance.
4. Constant Learning and Observing Nature’s Wonders
Farming is a never-ending learning process. Nature is always changing, always teaching. Whether it’s watching how a plant adapts to the weather, or learning the best way to care for a new animal, every day brings new lessons. It’s like witnessing a small piece of God’s creation unfolding before your eyes. Every sunrise brings a fresh opportunity to observe and understand the land on a deeper level.
5. A Sense of Abundance, Prosperity, and Peace
In the end, farming is about more than just food or profit. It’s about abundance, prosperity, and peace. When you work with the land, the seasons, and the creatures, you begin to feel a deep sense of harmony. There’s a peace that comes with knowing you’re part of something greater, something that sustains life—not just for yourself, but for everyone around you.
