“Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest.”
—Proverbs 20:4
Farming is unforgiving.
You can’t plant whenever you feel like it. You can’t wait until it’s convenient. You can’t ignore the seasons and expect the land to produce anyway. If the work isn’t done at the right time, the harvest simply won’t come.
This truth applies far beyond farming.
It’s easy to put things off—to wait for a better time, to delay the hard work, to assume there will always be another opportunity. But the reality is, there is a season for everything, and if we miss it, we don’t get it back.
At Huckleberry Farms, we see this play out constantly. If we don’t prepare the soil before planting, the crops won’t thrive. If we don’t care for the animals properly, they won’t produce. If we don’t plan ahead for winter, we’ll be scrambling when the cold sets in. Farming teaches discipline—not just in working hard, but in working on time.
The same principle applies to anyone looking to build something meaningful. Whether it’s farming, food sovereignty, or simply taking steps toward a more self-sufficient life, the work has to come before the results. You can’t reap what you haven’t sown.
This is why we encourage action.
Want to learn how to farm? Start now. Want to build a food-secure future? Don’t wait until crisis forces your hand. Want to take steps toward sustainability? Begin with what you have, where you are.
Because the truth is, the harvest doesn’t wait for those who hesitate.
It comes to those who plow in the right season, who put in the work when it’s needed, who understand that preparation is just as important as the reward.
