Let’s talk about faith. Not the kind you’re told to keep quiet about because it might upset someone at the dinner table, but the kind that shows up in the way we live, work, and connect to the land. Farming, at its heart, is an act of faith. You plant a seed, nurture it, andContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: The Spiritual Side of Farming”

Farm Table Talk: What Are We Really Leaving Behind?
Alright, pour yourself a cup of coffee and let’s talk legacy. Not the kind you leave in a will or pass down in heirlooms, but the kind you carve into the land, the air, and the water.

Farm Table Talk: The Pagan Roots of Christmas—What Your Pastor Won’t Tell You
Alright, grab your cocoa and settle in because we’re about to unwrap a holiday truth bomb. You see, Christmas—the beloved, snow-dusted, tinsel-laden celebration of Jesus’s birth—isn’t as “Christian” as you might think. In fact, many of the traditions we hold so dear are straight-up Pagan. Yep, you heard me. That Christmas tree in your livingContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: The Pagan Roots of Christmas—What Your Pastor Won’t Tell You”
Farm Table Talk: Pave Paradise, Then Take It Back
You know that old Joni Mitchell song: “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” Well, Michelle Vassel of the Wiyot Tribe recently flipped the script in a way that got my blood pumping.

Farm Table Talk: Is Homeschooling the Answer to America’s Broken Education System?
Alright, friends, let’s have a real talk over a cup of coffee, because I’ve been stewing on something for a while. You know that nagging feeling you get when you realize something is fundamentally broken, but no one seems to want to fix it?

Farm Table Talk: Pregnancy, Farming, and the Chaos of Change
I know we don’t usually get to talk on the same day we post an informational article—this morning’s piece on winter garden planning was already scheduled—but this was heavy on my heart as I sit here, coffee in hand, savoring the second-to-last morning of quiet before everything changes tomorrow evening. Sometimes, life demands we pauseContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: Pregnancy, Farming, and the Chaos of Change”
Farm Table Talk: The Forgotten Magic of the Land
Pull up a chair, my friends. Let’s talk about something that’s been tugging at me—a whisper from the trees, the soil, and the wind that we seem to have forgotten. I’m only a few pages into Seasons of the Sacred Earth by Cliff Seruntine, and it’s already hitting hard. He speaks about something so simple,Continue reading “Farm Table Talk: The Forgotten Magic of the Land”
Farm Table Talk: Finding Your Tribe—The Lost Art of Pen-Pals and Real Connection
Alright, let’s get cozy and talk about something that feels almost revolutionary in today’s world: real connection. And I don’t mean the kind that comes from clicking “like” on someone’s photo or leaving a comment on their post. I’m talking about honest-to-goodness, hand-written letters (or heartfelt emails if you’re short on stamps), where you shareContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: Finding Your Tribe—The Lost Art of Pen-Pals and Real Connection”
Farm Table Talk: A Bold Vision or a Pipe Dream?
Alright, folks, I’m done tiptoeing around the truth. I just watched a video with RFK Jr. and Joel Salatin, and if this doesn’t ruffle some feathers, I don’t know what will. Let me lay it out: RFK Jr. dropped out of the presidential race to join Trump’s campaign, and it paid off—he’s now been pickedContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: A Bold Vision or a Pipe Dream?”
Farm Table Talk: What If Jesus Didn’t Want You to Celebrate His Birthday?
Alright, folks, pull up a chair, grab your eggnog (or whatever store-bought concoction you’re calling “tradition” these days), and let’s chat about something that’s been tickling my brain this holiday season. What if—and hear me out here—Jesus didn’t want you to celebrate his birthday? I know, I know. Cue the gasps, the clutching of pearls,Continue reading “Farm Table Talk: What If Jesus Didn’t Want You to Celebrate His Birthday?”
