Faith and Resilience

I’ve always been inspired by the Proverbs woman and strive, however imperfectly, to live by her example. For years, I believed our “field to market” would be vegetables, but God had a different plan. Living with Cervical Spina Bifida Occulta, a condition that affects my daily life, has taught me to lean on faith and adapt. Some days bring seizures, long periods of rest, or challenges that seem insurmountable. That’s why we built 3-foot-high raised beds, to ensure I could still nurture this dream, even on hard days.

Many people thought we were chasing an impossible dream, but we believed in God’s vision for our community. With the help of our children, who earn a fair wage for their efforts as part of their homeschooling, we’ve embraced this journey together. They’re learning not just about farming, but about community, perseverance, and the joy of creating something meaningful.

With the Lytles’ blessing, we’re honored to preserve and share the stories of this land. We take retaining and continuing its beauty through regenerative agriculture seriously for our future generations. Every corner of the meadows holds history, beauty, and a reminder that God’s plans are always unfolding in His perfect timing.
