 Good morning,
   
I want to take this time to write to you as I don’t get it done very often. As I sit here the sun is coming up over the trees. These mornings the sky start to get light soon after 4am. As the day dawns the birds are singing, roosters are crowing, and the wildlife of the night go into their secret places for the day. 
 Connected: with Gods creation, in the quiet stillness of the morning, words cannot describe it. 
  
  As I witness a world that grows more disconnected each day and today I’m thinking particularly of modern agriculture. It is my desire is to go against the tide.

In a time farms are getting larger, the commodity that they produce is just an image of what was produced many years ago. Today the nutrients in the food we are getting from the supermarkets is just a fraction of what it was a few generations ago. Not to mention the chemicals that are accumulating in them causing havoc to your micro biome.

    Today modern farming has become a mechanical machine where we produce dozens of eggs and pounds of fat and protein. The manure has become a toxic waste. They spray fungicides to kill the bad fungus, insecticide to kill the the bad insects, and herbicides to kill the plants they don’t want. Then they keep in the barn where the animals never see the light of day or set foot on the soil we give antibiotics and hormones to try and keep the animals alive. 

  No thought is ever given to the phytonutrients and biological components. Your body runs on biology. You need protein that is more than just protein. Fat that’s not just fat. It needs food that is grown on soil where there is life. Where there is harmony with the living things around it. In a healthy environment every animal is building block to the life around it.

 Most of this has happened in just two generations. Just the other day I was talking to an older man and he shared with me that he remembers the very first time there was a chemical that you could spray on your corn fields and it killed every weed and left the corn grow. He said it was amazing. He was just a boy and him and his Dad went over to look at the neighbors field and it was spotless. With a cultivar you could never get all the weeds. 

   Today we get to offer you this opportunity: To eat food you can enjoy, that brings life, health. Meat that is real, Natural and chemical free. Not just because what I’m doing. We are able to do this because you had a desire to know your farmer, a desire to eat real food and have real connections. Not just a fancy label on a package in the supermarket.

    Sincerely Your farmer, Lamar

The sweet beginnings of our Maple Syrup Production

It was a cold night in the early spring around 15 years ago. I don’t have many memories of that first season. What stays in my mind today as I was helping with my brother in law Melvin that night was two things. I was cold and I was tired!   That was the year that he decided to tap a bunch of maple trees in the woods where we live now. I don’t remember how many, maybe 150 taps and hooked a special bag to each tap for the sap to collect into. Then each day we would need to walk through the woods collecting the sap into buckets. Collecting sap was no small feat. Going up and down the hill through the woods,we would go to each tree every day and dump the sap out of the bags into our buckets. And then carry it to a tote that  we then used to haul it back to the evaporator. Back then we did not have any building to do our boiling in so  Melvin had fastened shipping pallets together and put some tin onto the outside. While that offered some shelter from the elements it was a very drafty little building. Our first evaporator that we used was a small 3 by 4 homemade pan. We would pour the sap into one side and then it would go back and forth through the channels to the other side where we would drain the syrup off. While it was very primitive it got us off the ground and we got a good taste of sugaring. The evening was cold when we finally got a wood fire rolling in the fire box and poured the first sap into the pan. At 40+ gallons of sap to every gallon of syrup that syrup was slow in coming. While Melvin kept the fire hot by throwing wood into the fire every several minutes I tried to keep warm by the chimney and maybe catch a few winks of sleep. My one side was hot and my other side was shivering!  But we did get syrup! The night was far spent till we finally finished that night and poured the first golden, sweet, and wholesome syrup into our containers to take home and put on our pancakes the next morning.   Now today we are excited to be able to share the world best sweetener with you.   Click Here and order syrup today.  Darlene’s Simple Maple/Peanut Butter Fruit Dip  1 Cup.
