I’m not a stranger to loss, but I’ve come to the rather jarring realization recently that I am a complete stranger to reckoning with it. Of all the loss I’ve experienced up to this point, I’ve never, not once, grieved with intention and presence, at least not until now.

Just three months later, the doors opened for us to pursue an opportunity to start a farm in Kingston Springs, Tennessee.

We've reduced "nature" down to something to be consumed for our pleasure, all the while forgetting that we are apart of it
