We Grow Family

Just as growing high quality crops takes effort, time, and patience....so does "growing" a family.  During harvest season, spending time doing something together (other than working) can be difficult to fit in.  However, the guys made a great effort on Saturday to spend time with our family watching the Blue Angels up in Idaho Falls.  It was a wonderful show!

While we thought we'd make it home a little earlier, we actually ended up making it home around 8:00 PM.  Generally, that's not a big deal, but Brent had promised Harmon's Distribution in Salt Lake a delivery of green beans first thing Monday morning.  Our family values and strives to keep the Sabbath Day holy.  On Sundays, we attend church, spend time visiting our families, and worship. And, other than the basic "must-dos" (feeding animals and irrigating), we have chosen to not work.

So, in order to honor their commitment to God, and to their families; Jeff, Bailey, and Brent all headed right out to harvest and sort 50 boxes of green beans.  The refrigeration system kept them perfect and ready for delivery first thing Monday morning.  (Good thing we had lights installed in the barn!)

While all the littles are too young to realize the sacrifice, the examples, and the love demonstrated by these three great men...I hope, someday, they'll know! (Thanks, Jeff, for the video!)
