“I do not need bulls from your farms or goats from your flocks; all the animals in the forest are mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. All the wild birds are mine and all living things in the fields.”
—Psalm 50:9-11
Farming often feels like ownership.
We raise animals, tend the land, and make decisions about how to care for what’s in our hands. But at the end of the day, none of it truly belongs to us.
This verse is a humbling reminder that every creature, every field, every living thing is part of something far greater than our individual farms. The cattle on a thousand hills, the birds in the sky, the wild animals in the forest—they are not ours to claim. They are entrusted to us, but they belong to God.
At Huckleberry Farms, we take this truth seriously.
We don’t farm with a mindset of control—we farm with a mindset of stewardship. We recognize that our role isn’t to dominate the land but to care for it, to nurture it, to ensure that it thrives for generations to come.
This is why we prioritize regenerative practices.
We don’t exploit the soil—we build it. We don’t treat animals as commodities—we respect their instincts and well-being. We don’t see nature as something to be conquered—we see it as something to be honored.
Because farming isn’t about ownership. It’s about responsibility.
And when we approach it with that perspective, we farm with greater care, greater wisdom, and greater respect for the land and creatures entrusted to us.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience this firsthand—to see what it means to farm with nature rather than against it—we invite you to visit, volunteer, and learn alongside us.
