Greetings farm followers! Been just a little while since I last updated this farm blog. 2020 has been quite a difficult year for everyone so we are trying to keep focused and press on. Fall is officially here and it is reflected in the much welcomed cooling down of the temperatures. Gone are the days of my being able to work long hours out in the blazing sun and killer humidity here in SC. I am officially in my “60’s” now so my body reminds me that things have changed just a little bit. Sadly my mind has not gotten the memo because it thinks I am 20 and is ready to start a new adventure weekly. But I press on…
My heart rejoices that even in the ever changing situations we find ourselves in we can depend fully upon our God. He is our Rock and He has a perfect plan that He is working out in our lives and in this world. Though evil abounds especially in these dark days His glory still shines through in so many ways! The Lord blessed our family with our 20th living grandchild in January and it has been such a joy to see her do all the “firsts”. After losing my father-in-law in November last year she has surely been a blessing to all of our hearts. We do serve a wonderful God! As a redeemed child of God I do so look forward to my days on this Earth ending and being united with the Lord nevertheless I press on here in my sojourn to do the Will of Him who sent me. May God be glorified in all we say and do. May we live circumspectly taking each moment of breath He gives as a time to rejoice in God our Savior.
Wise men plan, so we look to God to make plans for our time left here on this planet. In 2021 our desire is to make full use of this big old house. This house really has been a tremendous blessing and our 7+ years here have served us well. So my prayer is that in 2021 we will be doing that! Still producing what food we can on our own. Having better arrangements for the livestock we raise, subtracting some and adding others. We believe that diversity matters so raising endangered breeds of livestock is of the utmost importance. We so desire to leave a legacy of love and hard work for our grandchildren. That integrity matters and the ultimate act of kindness is to value every single person as VALUABLE. From conception till natural death life matters. God created every race therefore our exteriors are simply the covering we have placed upon us, they do not define who we are or who we become. Let us spur each other on to good works rather than the evil deeds of darkness. Cover hate with love and purpose it your heart to be a blessing to at least one person each day. If we do this 2021 will be a most wonderful time of renewal and promise. God desires that we love one another so let us follow His direction and do as He did when He walked this earth so many years ago.
We have sold all our female Gulf Coast sheep. We have 5 rams left. Three of those rams are of breeding quality and two rams that will go to freezer camp. We will be adding some other endangered breeds of livestock in 2021 so stay tuned. My little Einkorn bakeshop (since Covid we have not opened the shop literally but we take orders via phone, text, email or IM.) I stay quite busy with a good following of regulars. I promise to publish a PDF of items with their prices so that folks can see what we have to offer. I bake 100% organically. Einkorn is my grain of choice however I do bake with other heritage grains organically grown by small farmers throughout the USA. So feel free to message or email the farm to inquire. We do not ship our products simply because we use zero preservatives so our products have a limited shelf life. Though our bread when it goes stale makes excellent croutons, breadcrumbs or just plain toast!
Well farm followers I pray blessing upon each one of you. That the Lord will keep you in perfect peace as your mind is stayed upon Him…
