Blessed Roots Farmstead is, above all, a mission, a calling, and a faith journey.
It is my first priority to bring honor, glory, and fame to my Savior, Jesus Christ. Though I fail daily, when I fall, I fall at the feet of Jesus, Who loves mercifully, fully, and without ceasing. All of this is for Him, His glory, and to tell others about Him, amid the backdrop of homesteading.
With these two hands, a heart full of hope, and my Lord to guide me, I also endeavor to achieve sustainability, regenerative farming practices, and increased faith for this journey called life, while helping others in those shared goals.
