All About Tending the Land
We’re passionate about being just stewards of the land first and foremost because, as human beings, we were tasked with the God given work of caring for His creation in the garden of Eden. A task that was not revoked after the fall. Additionally, the land and nature itself show us, each in their own way, a glimpse of the glory of God. So, it follows that we should take good and proper care of that which sustains us physically, and, in many ways, emotionally and mentally as well.
The Why
It’s deeper than management
It’s not enough to have an understanding of agriculture and the nuances of raising your own food. There’s a deeper call that is easy to overlook in this mechanically saturated society that demands so much of us and the world God created. We have to understand the deeper why – otherwise the principles we ought to stand on when tending the land will crumble at the sight of hardship and toil.

Reaping the Harvest
Enjoying the fruits of your labor
While it might seem unrelated, a vital part of tending the land is reaping the harvest. There is a season to sow and a season to reap. A time to plant and a time to harvest. Understanding the times and signs for harvest with each plant, as well as proper harvesting methods (for both plants and animals), is all part of being a good steward. For many of our plants (pasture included) thrive when they are pruned and their fruit harvested at the correct time.
