A Thanksgiving Letter from Your Farmer {2023}

November 22, 2023
Good morning (assuming that you're reading this the morning of Thanksgiving.)
I hope you're too busy relaxing with family and friends to open your email today and instead see this on Friday.
I wrote this on Wednesday, and set up chores to be (mostly) hands-off the rest of the week. Kaitlyn, Bo and I will be spending Thursday/Friday with my fellow lunatic farmers and in-laws, the Aulgurs.
But I wanted to make sure you got my thanks today. Well, our thanks; from all of the families that play a role in getting your food from field to plate. The Coxs, Aulgurs, Pratts, and Kestens all appreciate you greatly.
Without you choosing to purchase your meats directly from our small family farm, we wouldn't be accomplishing the following:
- Producing meats for over 400 families
- Regenerating soil and sequestering carbon
- Raising livestock outdoors humanely
- Creating opportunities for more family farms
It makes me happy to think that so many families are enjoying our pasture-raised meats this week. We ourselves are digging into one of our delicious turkeys today. 😋
From the bottom of our hearts, and for all of the reasons mentioned above, thank you, thank you, thank you for being a part of both David's Pasture and the bigger picture of restoring the land and the way that we eat.
Love,
Your farmer,
Remi Kesten
and all the families at David's Pasture 💙
