The Bounty of Smyrna: Cultivating a Sustainable Future
As the sun rises over the ridge, the Smyrna Community comes to life once again. Roosters crow, birds sing harmoniously with the lowing of cows in the meadow. As the farmer feeds his livestock, the fragrance of the wife’s gourmet breakfast invigorates the family to complete the early morning harvest of fresh vegetables before sitting down together to enjoy the fruit of their labor.
The scene is one of life, health, and abundance. The group of farming families works together, using horses and simple hand labor, to produce some of the most flavorful, highly nutritious food for you and your family to enjoy.
Organic, regenerative, and sustainable, they do it all—above and beyond your expectations. They are committed to bringing you the best, utilizing the power of God’s Creation: sunshine, rain, microbes, families, and community, all while improving animal welfare, soil health, water quality, food safety, wildlife habitat, human health, and making a positive impact on the environment.
Great care and strategize farming management are given to encourage diversity and abundance in soil microbes, beneficial insects, pollinators, earthworms and plant species.
They also use system of silvopasture, where forests are thinned instead of cleaned out.
With the help of livestock they are able to establish grasses, shrubs, as well as wild flowers and herbal plants, mimicking the wooded savannahs of pre settlers days, where large herds of bison and other herbivores thrived. This environment is like animal heaven. Livestock have a robust variety of plants and brouse on with access to shade or wind break at any time.
Another huge advantage to their food production model is the meat processed in an on farm abattoir, minimizing livestock handling stress. Dairy products, produce and other normally high-risk food is processed and packed and shipped on the farm ensuring complete control of freshness, quality and integrity. Remember, food contamination always comes from mega food processing plants.
The Smyrna Community embodies the essence of harmonious, sustainable farming. Their commitment to organic, regenerative practices ensures healthier environments and vibrant communities. By embracing traditional methods and fostering a deep connection with nature, they produce food that is delicious, nutritious, and ethically responsible.
As you enjoy their labor’s fruits, you support a way of life that values the earth, respects animal welfare, and prioritizes people’s well-being. The Smyrna Community stands as a beacon of hope for agriculture’s future, demonstrating that cultivating the land with love, care, and respect for nature is possible.
