I've come to see myself less as someone who runs a farm and more as someone holding living systems in trust. I feed people now, and I'm keeping this land whole for the ones who'll work it after I'm gone. The work feels different when I carry it that way.
More people experience this than they realize.
You see your farming as caring for living land on behalf of the future.
