Grateful

Thank You Kiwanis Clubs of Lancaster County!

As the 2018 Honor Farm Family we are grateful for the recognition.  It truly was an honor to join 150 other guests at the 52nd Annual Farm City Breakfast early morning November 20, 2018.

We have great respect for the Kiwanis organization and their work in our community:

“Improving the World One Child and One Community at a Time.”

The event was hosted by the Lincoln Center Kiwanis club with many Kiwanis members attending from the Lincoln area.  Also attending the event were FFA students from the Waverly, Raymond Central, Norris and Career Academy Chapters.  Two local FFA members presented reports on their chapter activities.

It was my pleasure to provide a Keynote speech during the breakfast.  This was the first formal public presentation of DS Family Farm and Pasture Grazed Beef.  We entertained some great questions from the audience after the presentation.  Based on the questions, the message of Pasture Grazed and Raised Animals hit home with some folks.

I did get choked up as the speech closed.  When I showed photos of the families who have visited and purchased meat from our farm, the feelings took over.  We receive true honor from the families we have met and built friendships with over the past few years.  When our journey to raise healthy animals, meets people on a journey to find healing food, that is WHY we do what we do.  That is when Doug gets choked up.

It certainly is nice to be recognized by others!  Especially by a respected organization such as the Kiwanis.  Again thank you Kiwanis Clubs of Lancaster County for the opportunity to speak about Pasture Grazed Beef and for the Honor Farm Family award.
