Greetings farm followers! DIDASKALOS: The Greek word for Teacher, a Master Teacher to be specific, someone knowledgeable to teach. Very powerful word in English and we take this word seriously since God bestowed this name upon 7 years ago when we moved here to SC and to this home. Though we have not arrived to the place to be called true “masters” ourselves we follow The Master. So as 2021 begins we will assert once again that this is a TEACHING farm. We teach many things on this farm. Our hope and faith is in the Word of God and we call ourselves “Christians” humbly but all are welcome here and we allow open expression without violence nor profane behavior.
Sadly we recognize the changes coming upon our beloved country. God has truly blessed our nation in its long history for sure. However, that is about to change very rapidly and very sadly. Nevertheless God is still on the Throne and thankfully He directs the world not puny tyrants. God gave our family the privilege of being born in this once great country. I weep for where she is now and the senseless pain that will come as we slide further down the path of total godlessness. We are ALL created in God’s image and no matter where you are and what you think or believe that fact will not change. I respect your humanity but that being said I do not respect your godless attitude nor behavior. God reminds me that PERFECT LOVE drives out fear and His love is perfect therefore I do not fear what man can do. Heaven is our home and when and how we go there is God’s decision. We are a peace loving family and we heed God’s word in His blessings to all godly Peacemakers. We are Americans protected by our Constitution and we believe in ALL of it.
2021 will bring many changes here on this farm. We are moving in another direction with our animals. Currently we raise Gulf Coast sheep, mini/mid Jersey cows, Narragansette and Beltsville Small White turkeys, Silver Appleyard ducks and several varieties of chickens. We have one surviving organic bee hive. Many of the wonderful animals we raise are endangered breeds. We still believe in that mission and we will take it in just a slight different direction. Lord willing we will be adding two new variety of chickens (maybe three) :-). some Oberhasli goats, Awassi/Asaaf sheep and hopefully be making organic sheep and goat’s milk feta for the select few in the years to come. We have decided to scale down the size of our milking animals simply because we are aging and the necessary help sometimes is in short supply. We do not feel called to give up our endeavors so we will just scale down a bit. We are selling some of our precious animals so inquire if you like. Only experienced folks need inquire. We take our livestock seriously and we do not want to place them in unsafe situations. Neither do we want to see people fail. We are willing mentors but foundational principles and practice must be understood and practiced.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen …Hebrews 11:1 But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him…Hebrews 1:6
So I end this blog post full of faith in God that He will be that Strongtower for us and that He will finish what He started here on Didaskalos Farm.
