2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. - James 1:2-5
Farming, raising kids, marriage, relationships in general... these are all our true tests of faith.
Good things, yes. We get super great food from farming. Many have said, “Farmers eat like kings and live like paupers.” This is often our experience.
Raising kids, marriage, and relationships. Where you have more than one person there will always be conflicting personalities, backgrounds, etc. We all sin against one another. Tensions can run high. However, if worked through, these things can result in deeper, more satisfying relationship, steadfastness, love, and wisdom.
So we press on when predators take our piglets. We press on when kids won’t stop disrespecting each other. And we ask God for wisdom and the ability to count it all joy... #james1 #minnesotafarming #countitalljoy
Getting cozy. We have hogs of all sizes since we farrow to finish, which means we have these piglets here from the start. We know what has and hasn’t been placed in each animal and get to control their nutrition and the finished product.
This month we are finalizing orders for our fall pork. If you’re interested in having pork chops, ham, bacon, sausage and more in your freezer, let us know this month so you can get on the list for a half or whole hog. You could also get a few people together to divide a half for a smaller portion.
Your support of our small family farm is much appreciated!
