Nobody likes upheaval. Change is exhausting. It’s inconvenient. It disrupts routines, forces hard decisions, and demands effort most people don’t have time for.

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.

Farm Table Talk: Why We Don’t Set Sales Targets
In a typical business model, the game is all about growth for growth’s sake. Sell a thousand units per month. Expand to three new markets by 2028.

We don’t build artificialContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: Why We Don’t Set Sales Targets”
Farm Table Talk: We Don’t Need to Scale Regenerative Ag—We Need to Replicate It
At some point, people decided that feeding the world could only happen through scaling industrial agriculture—massive monoculture farms, synthetic inputs, factory-style efficiency. And when regenerative farmers like Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, and Will Harris prove there’s another way, they get slapped with labels like “starvation advocate” because their methods supposedly can’t be scaled like conventionalContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: We Don’t Need to Scale Regenerative Ag—We Need to Replicate It”

Farm Table Talk: Regenerative Agriculture Should Be in Every Classroom
For all the talk about education preparing the next generation, one glaring omission remains: where does food come from, and how do we care for the land that sustains us? Kids grow up learning math, history, and science, but regenerative agriculture? Indigenous land stewardship? Nothing. And yet, those two things are arguably more important thanContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: Regenerative Agriculture Should Be in Every Classroom”
Farm Table Talk: Tariffs Won’t Save America If You Won’t Support It Yourself
Let’s talk about all these tariff-loving, bring-businesses-back-to-America folks out there—the ones preaching that tariffs will magically fix everything, forcing companies back into American hands. Sounds great in theory. But let’s look at reality for a second. Where do you buy your vegetables?Where do you buy your fruit?Where does your meat come from?Where do you getContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: Tariffs Won’t Save America If You Won’t Support It Yourself”
Farm Table Talk: The Art of Pretending People Matter—And Why I’m Not Playing Along

Yeah. That. Let’s talk about why the whole “Oh, but you KNOW you’re always welcome!” line is absolute nonsense. If You Want SomeoneContinue reading “Farm Table Talk: The Art of Pretending People Matter—And Why I’m Not Playing Along”
Farm Table Talk: The Joy of the Harvest
“You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before You as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.”—Isaiah 9:3 There is no joy quite like harvest season.
