Another Standing “O”
Many thanks to the nice folks at Mountain Run Farm for producing this video tour of their farm. This operation is similar to what we hope to run on our own farm.
Pastured animals using rotational grazing in an ecologically correct order will produce healthy ground in which to grow organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, grains and vegetable fibres. Happy, healthy animals produce good milk, good meat, and good fibre. Good food makes happy, healthy humans. Happy, healthy humans can better fulfill whatever God asks of them. I think it’s time we looked back to the way God created land, animals, and people to work together. I think we’ll go a long way to improving the health of each. Clean, natural living, coupled with renewed faith and spirituality, and the revelations we have come to understand about disease prevention, natural remedies, and critical care, will go far in reversing the damage we’ve done to God’s creation. But no one element can work alone - we must implement every element in order for it to work. We musn’t sacrifice the dignity of humans in order to accomplish the goal, and we must honour the glory of God’s creation at all times.
I feel so strongly about this particular topic. I apologize for sounding like I’m on a soapbox. It’s only because I have such a love of Creation, and such an awe of the responsibility we have been given as stewards of it.
If you’ll check out Local Harvest, you can find a farmer near you that offers beautifully raised farm produce like this. And if you are in southern New England, you can check us out. We’d love to have you by for a cuppa and a chat!
