Our journey begins

"But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you; so that you may behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need." 1 Thessalonians 4:10b-12
How does this verse pair with the simple starts of the garden? Quite nicely, actually. It describes the life-style we hope to attain: sustainability from the land. Sustainability can only be attained through daily physical labor. Which, in turn, lends itself to a quiet life because how can we attend to our own business if we're always in someone else's? And working with our hands fosters a simple satisfaction like no other.

After 12 months of vision and labor, Morning Harvest farm is starting to show definite signs of sustainability. Cattle decorate the pastures, chickens decorate everything else, and the produce is thriving. Before you know it there will be meat on the grill, veggies in a salad, and fruit on the ice cream. Care to join us?

Just found you, quite by accident. I shall come back to see how you're doing and get inspiration for my patch of ground.

It's going to be fun seeing the progress in that garden as the season goes on.
