April Fools!
No, we’re not going to fool you, but we thought it would be fun to trace some of the history of April Fools day. Did you know that the day can be traced back to Pope Gregory XIII? In 1582 he decreed the adoption of the Gregorian calendar which moved New Year’s Day from the […]
Joel Salatin
Thinking more about our role as Christian farmers & looking around the net, we came across Joel Salatin who describes himself as a “Christian-conservative-libertarian-environmentalist-lunatic-farmer.” Well, he pretty much had us there, so we wanted to find out more. What we found is this article from The Red Carpet. His words say a lot & much of […]
Christian Farming
We’re pretty much always thinking about two things: First, of course, always in our thoughts & our hearts is Jesus, but second in farming. When you run a farm, it’s not just a job, it’s a life. There is never a time when you’re really off work & you can get called out at any […]

Holy Saturday
We are approaching what is, perhaps, the most glorious day of the year… Just one day away. Of course, if you have keiki, you are probably dying Easter eggs, gathering baskets, wrapping chocolate & buying plush bunnies. We love Easter & everything that goes with it. It’s such fun to see the kids out playing, […]
Good Friday
It was the saddest of days, but also, in some ways the best, all those many years ago when Jesus went to the cross of us. We know His suffering, but we also know that through Him is our redemption & our eternal reward in heaven. There, alone on that cross, He took upon himself […]

Holy Week
Now that is almost the end of Lent & leading up to Easter, we have been contemplating the holiday, perhaps the most holy of all. Christmas is, of course, the birth of Jesus & the beginning of the story of His sacrifice for our salvation, but it all comes together & the promise kept on Easter. […]
