Before we got married, my husband and I made one thing very clear: we did not want to farm. We didn’t want the commitment or heavy demands of agricultural life. But God had other plans! In the spring of 2002, during our first year of marriage, we planted our very first garden. It was completely unsuccessful. Nothing went the way we planned, and it would have been easy to quit right there, but we didn’t give up. We tried again the next year, and little by little, each season’s harvest got better.
