Our first and foremost priority is to glorify God in everything we do. That being said, we realize the importance of leaning on His guidance in everything. We have failed many times! But, each time we fail, we learn a valuable lesson, which brings us back to His understanding, not ours.
Our vision for this farm is to one day, make it profitable enough to live off of its income. My husband, Tony, would love nothing more than to be with his family more than with his co-workers, to have his children work with him in his family business.
Our family does work together on the farm. Work ethic in children is diminishing everywhere, so we make sure that our children know how to work and give them certain responsibilities on the farm. Yet, we want this farm to be a relaxing, enjoyable place, not a drudgery!
We have many ideas for our farm. We have started some of these ideas and are excited about where the Lord will take us. I will be sharing with you many entrepreneurial ideas for farm income. It's a journey with constant change as we strive for sustainability.
We welcome you to join us on this adventure! You can also become a fan on facebook as well! If you would like to contact me with your plans or ask more questions about our farm, please feel free to contact me at: shockfarm@embarqmail.com
Wow, what a blessing reading your stories. I grew up in the farm and I wanted OUT .. I am from Kenya (Africa) but now I miss the simplicity... I miss the value of hard work.. I miss the community. God bless you and I will follow you - thank you for sharing about your still births.. You are in my prayers!
