Acknowledging with gratitude the recent harvest, the abundance of farm produce, the fruits of our labour, the yields from the land.
This work we cannot do alone.
Take a moment to reflect and say thank you.
Thank you to whom?
All those who helped and assisted with you on the farm, in your home and in the aligned business.
