What is more amazing is that these plots of ground were manmade by the Inca Indians before Columbus discovered the Americas. Despite being in the rainforest where soils are depleted rapidly, these plots of [...]
Many of you know the story of how God provided this farm for us, but the story and God’s provision doesn’t end there.
This spring God provided this 2000 Chevy Astro van for our egg delivery van for free! Our old delivery van had 275,000 miles on it and the transmission went out. It was not [...]
