Good morning from the farm,

I’m writing to you early this morning from my kitchen table. The house is still quiet—our six kids are sound asleep, and I’m sipping a cup of coffee. It’s the perfect time to reflect and share a quick story with you. ☕️

A few weeks ago, we hosted one of the most meaningful gatherings ever held here at Seven Sons—our annual Producer Day.

We welcomed over seventy of our partner farmers who share our mission to heal the land and raise food you can trust. These are the people working shoulder to shoulder with us to regenerate soils, care for animals, and strengthen rural communities.

They’re the backbone of this movement.💪🏻

We started the morning by sharing our farm’s ten-year vision—how, together, we can multiply the acres being regenerated and the families nourished by truly nutrient-dense food.

In a time when the gap between farmers and consumers has never been wider, I felt compelled to remind everyone that what they do each day—the care they give to soil, animals, and people—is building a legacy that will outlive them.

One of the most powerful moments came from our guest speaker, Dr. Allen Williams—a regenerative farmer from Mississippi and one of the leading voices in this movement.

Allen shared a sobering truth: over the past 75 years, American farms have lost half of their soil’s organic matter. As our soils have been depleted, so has the nutrient density of our food—leaving over 60% of Americans suffering from chronic illness.

But Allen didn’t leave us in despair...

He reminded us that regeneration is possible, and it starts one farm—and one family—at a time. Every farmer who chooses to rebuild the soil and every customer who chooses to support them plays a vital role in healing our food system.

After a full day of learning and connection, we sat down together for a hearty meal of grass-fed beef burgers and organic potato fried in beef tallow.

It was a simple meal but every bite represented the work of the farmers in that room—the long days, the faith, and the care behind each product we send out to families like yours.

Something that moved me deeply was seeing the next generation of farmers now stepping into leadership—the sons and daughters of producers we’ve partnered with for nearly two decades.

That’s what regeneration truly means: building something worth passing down.

Sadly, across America, corporate land ownership is at an all-time high.

Too many farms aren’t being passed to the next generation, and when ownership separates from stewardship, the care of the land suffers. But what we’re building together with YOU is different.

It’s lasting.
It’s hopeful.

If you’ve ever known a regenerative farmer, you know they don’t do this for fame or fortune.

They do it because they care—about the animals in their charge, the health of their communities, and the future of this planet.
It’s not easy work. It’s 365 days a year—rain, snow, or shine.

And for those of us who go against the industrial grain, there are no subsidies, there are no safety nets, and there is no applause from the system we’re challenging.

But that’s also what makes this community or your farmers so special.

They're innovators and people FULL of conviction—men and women who refuse to follow the status quo and who, with God’s help, are restoring what’s been broken.

As the day came to a close, our family gathered with Allen around a campfire in the walnut grove. We swapped stories, laughed, and reflected on how far this movement has come—and the promise that still lies ahead.

Allen closed the day by sharing a quote that’s stayed with us:

“The land does not lie; it bears a record of what men write on it… a record that is easy to read by those who understand the simple language of the land.”

Together—as farmers and consumers—we’re writing a new story on that land. A story of healing, stewardship, and hope.

As I close this story of reflection, I can’t help but continue to think of you.

Without your support, none of this would be possible. Every purchase you make from Seven Sons is a vote for a better food system and a healthier planet.

Thank you sincerely for being part of it.
