Farm Table Talk: The Promise of the Seasons

“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
—Genesis 8:22

There’s a rhythm to the land.

The seasons turn, the soil rests, the crops grow, and the harvest comes. It’s been this way since the beginning, and no matter how much the world changes, the cycles of creation remain.

This verse is a promise.

It’s a reminder that no matter how uncertain things feel, the earth continues. The sun rises, the seasons shift, and the land provides—if we care for it, if we work with it, if we trust the process.

Farming teaches patience.

There’s no rushing a seed to sprout. No forcing an animal to grow faster than nature allows. No skipping ahead to the harvest without first tending the land. The work has to be done in its time, and the results come when they’re meant to.

It’s easy to forget this in a world that demands instant results.

People want food fast, solutions now, guarantees before they take action. But the land doesn’t work that way. It moves at its own pace, following the rhythms set in place long before we ever put our hands in the soil.

And maybe that’s the lesson.

That sustainability isn’t about control—it’s about trust. That farming isn’t about forcing outcomes—it’s about working with the seasons, not against them. That life itself moves in cycles—times of planting, times of waiting, times of harvest—and each one has its purpose.

The earth endures.

And as long as it does, the work of farming—the work of tending, growing, and trusting—will continue.
