Green Machine Farm is about farming like the future depends on it.
Because it does.
The problems that we face as a society and a planet are many. And while they may seem impossible to tackle, the solutions are quite simple, but in solving them, we must start with ourselves. We must consciously choose to act in accordance with the solutions. And this choice cannot be made only once, for we make choices countless times every day. We must make these choices every day.
Green Machine Farm is a choice we have made as farmers, and as people. We choose to:
Farm Awesomely
Be a model for agricultural practices that benefit everyone, the farmer, the consumer, the animals, the society, and the earth.
Be Green
It is not enough to seek to “do no harm” we must actively seek to improve our land, our animals, our people and our food if we are to rise to the challenge of feeding the world without destroying it.
Reduce Suffering
We strive to treat our animals according to the golden rule. We owe them not only a humane death, but most importantly, a humane life.
Be Self-Reliant and Interdependent
We must seek to be a wellspring of energy, ideas and elbow-grease, both for ourselves, and for others. We can survive on our own, but it takes a community to thrive.
Be Advocates
We’re not banking on political change, but we must always make our voices heard. We must choose to question authority and take a principled stand.
Make time for the important things in life
We choose to be grateful every day. For this life and for the people we share it with. The future is never guaranteed, so we must enjoy and be grateful for each day.
