We will treat the animals in our care with respect and dignity, giving them room to live as God made them— to root, graze, roam, and follow their natural ways.

We will study the rhythms of the natural world and learn to work with them, not against them—listening before altering, tending rather than obstructing.

We will practice stewardship that restores instead of exploits, leaving the soil richer, the water cleaner, and the air purer than we found them.

We will name the harm done before us and commit to healing it, tending this land in ways that restore what is broken and foster relationships with dignity and respect.

We will labor to provide a good and wholesome life for our own family and for the wider family of neighbors and the community entrusted to our care.

We will share the abundance of our land, animals, and crops to nourish those who need it and receive the gifts of others who offer them.

We will tend the community where we are planted, strengthening the bonds of place, people, and shared responsibility.

We will put our shoulders to the work six days a week, doing the good work God has given us with willing hands and grateful hearts.

We will honor the Lord’s Day with rest and thanksgiving, remembering that the work is not all ours and the land does not belong to us alone.

We will freely teach what we have learned and celebrate the work, investing all we have and all we are, greeting each day with joy and gratitude for this good work God has entrusted to us.
