K<\/strong>RISTEN AND <\/strong>Shane Meyers have made a life out of giving for well over a decade by being a vital part of the farming community in both Lebanon and Watertown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Shane\u2019s managing a 1,000-acre farm in Lebanon to the couple running their own 15-acre farm in Watertown, Kristen and Shane work tirelessly to provide for their family and the community around them. They not only provide food, but they also give hope and guidance to those in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GETTING INTO THE BUSINESS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kristen, both she and Shane grew up in farming communities. As a married couple, they decided to make their own path in the world of farming. For the past 17 years, Shane has managed Pembroke Farms, owned by Jack Lowery in Lebanon. In 2013, they purchased their own farm, Wellspring Farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRaising animals and growing our own food is very familiar to us,\u201d Kristen explained. \u201cAfter purchasing our property, we dove right in with purchasing cattle, chickens, and goats. We produce about 20 beef cattle and 25 pigs a year that are available to purchase as family shares, many of which we process and package ourselves, along with about 40 laying hens. [The farm has] a large vegetable garden that grows green beans, lettuce, kale, broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, summer and winter squashes, peppers, sweet corn, herbs, and flowers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristen said that since 2013, the farm has been successful thanks to their respect for the animals they raise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were able to increase our beef sales as word spread that we were producing delicious meats that were raised with care and respect for the animal from birth to harvest,\u201d she said. \u201cKnowing everything that has gone into an animal its entire life and meeting that animal\u2019s need for open pasture, quality feed, socialization, and kindness gives us great confidence in the products we sell.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also added that farming has become a family affair. The couple\u2019s five children play a significant role in keeping the farm up and running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey help with all things farming,\u201d Kristen said. \u201cFrom feeding, collecting eggs, harvesting vegetables, to butchering and packaging meat, it\u2019s certainly a family affair, and we couldn\u2019t do it without them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

REACHING OUT <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the farm\u2019s beginnings, the couple has wanted their farm to have benefits beyond just their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farm\u2019s name, Wellspring Farm, comes from the Bible verse John 4:14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristen said, \u201cWe believe God calls us to be good stewards of all He gives us, and the food we grow is absolutely a part of that stewardship. We want people to feel as blessed in feeding their family our products as we do in feeding them to ours.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That purpose would lead the couple to help single mothers in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeveral years ago, we were leading a small group that had quite a few single mothers in it, and we began to think about how we could help serve these women and their children practically with what we were doing on our farm,\u201d Kristen said. \u201cWe decided to give a portion of every beef sale \u2014 either meat or proceeds from the meat \u2014 to help fill their freezers or help with rent and utilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, their church, The Journey Church, was involved with a local recovery house for women called The Hope Society. Thanks to a growth in beef sales, the couple could extend their outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe saw an opportunity to help more single moms who were just getting back on their feet after graduating [from] the program,\u201d Kristen explained. \u201cOur hearts were tender towards these women who were doing the good and difficult work of overcoming addiction while also running hard after Jesus to help guide them in their new lives of sobriety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past five years, Kristen stated that their small farm has been able to do big things by donating hundreds of pounds of meat directly to single-parent families in the community as well as supporting local ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EDUCATING THE FUTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through their outreach to single mothers, Shane began to see another way the farm could help those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe began to be burdened by the lack of male leadership he was seeing in the sons of the single moms we knew,\u201d Kristen explained. \u201cHe started thinking about how no one was teaching these boys how to be men, treat women, work, pray, serve, lead, hunt and fish, and how to handle tools, and fix or build something. It was overwhelming, to say the least \u2014 when you thought about all the practical skills and spiritual needs that these boys were missing out on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting small, Shane gathered a small group of boys and began teaching them life skills, such as how to handle a rifle and shoot a deer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe did this on the \u2018big farm,\u2019 which is the farm he manages. The boys grew in confidence as they learned something totally new and how proud they were to provide food for their families when they got a deer,\u201d Kristen said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seeing the difference he made with a small group, Shane began to think bigger. Last year, he held his first weekend outdoors camp at the \u201cbig farm,\u201d where 25 boys, ages 8 to 13, came and learned valuable skills such as hunting, fishing, archery, and building, along with teachings of the word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere were about 13 men who helped teach skills and lead groups,\u201d Kristen explained. \u201cThe boys learned how to fillet fish, shoot a gun, [do] archery, cook chili, make venison jerky, and kayak. They also built blinds together as groups that were sold to help fund this year\u2019s camp so it could remain free for the boys. One of the blinds they made specifically to be wheelchair accessible was donated to a local group that puts on a yearly hunt for kids who are wheelchair dependent. In June of this year, we had our second camp and had about 32 boys and 17 men help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ULTIMATE GOAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple said the ultimate goal of the farm is to \u201cuse the land and animals God has given them to bless and help families in their community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether that\u2019s donated meat, vegetable[s], and eggs for a mom who needs extra help, a weekend for boys to learn skills and see men teach them, believe in them, and pray for them, or using the proceeds from our meat sales to fill the gap when times are lean for a mom who just got her kids back after years of battling addiction \u2014 we want to stay open-handed and let the Lord lead us in the ways He would have us serve and help. That\u2019s the biggest thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe would love it if more landowners or farmers were interested in hosting a similar camp on their property or [allowing] boys and dads to hunt on their land,\u201d Kristen said. \u201cWe really want to connect local farmers with families in our community who have never had the chance to experience the blessings we (farmers) enjoy every day.\u201d GN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
