Farm Table Talk: Wisdom in the Field

“The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding. … The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher, and He gives the farmer great wisdom.”
—Isaiah 28:26, 29

Farming is more than a skill—it’s a relationship.

It’s a conversation between the land and the farmer, between the seasons and the harvest, between instinct and experience. And at the heart of it all is wisdom—not just knowledge, but understanding.

The best farmers aren’t just following instructions. They’re listening. They’re observing. They’re responding to what the land is telling them.

Because farming isn’t a formula—it’s a living, breathing process.

Modern agriculture often ignores this truth. It treats the land as something to be controlled, manipulated, and forced into production. It replaces wisdom with rigid systems, assuming that technology alone can replace intuition.

But the farmer who truly understands knows better.

They know when to plant—not just because the calendar says so, but because the soil is ready. They know when to harvest—not just because the schedule demands it, but because the crops are telling them it’s time. They know when the animals need care, when the land needs rest, when the ecosystem is shifting in ways that require attention.

And that wisdom doesn’t come from textbooks or algorithms. It comes from experience, observation, and—ultimately—divine guidance.

At Huckleberry Farms, we trust this process.

We don’t farm by force—we farm by understanding. We watch the land, we listen to the animals, we pay attention to the rhythms that have existed long before we ever put our hands in the soil. And in doing so, we recognize that farming isn’t just about production—it’s about stewardship.

Because the Lord is a wonderful teacher.

And when we take the time to learn, to listen, and to trust the wisdom He provides, the land responds.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience this firsthand—to see what it means to farm with wisdom rather than against nature—we invite you to visit, volunteer, and learn alongside us.
