The most valuable $50 bill

Just a normal $50 bill?  Hardly! This bill may look ordinary, but in fact it is invaluable!

Our family is going through very long, emotional days preparing for this move to Texas. We are passed to the limit of physical and emotional strength. And then, this happens...

A very kind and generous elderly gentleman who has helped out farm previously heard of the moving sale this week. He came by looking, searching for something to buy to help us out. But nothing for his needs. As he was leaving empty handed, he stopped and walked over to Brenda. He have her the$50 bill you see above, as a gift. He do wanted to help out that he just donated it asking nothing in return.

Now, we know that this man is not wealthy, at least not financially. He really can't afford to just give money away. It is a great sacrifice for him to do so. Yet he did out of the generosity of his heart.

Like the poor woman in scripture who gave her last 2 cents, this man sacrificed to help our mission. Jesus comment about the or woman in scripture was that she had given more than all the rest, because she gave all she had. The value is not in the amount, but the sacrifice.

This bill meant a lot to our friend, and so it means a lot to us. We accepted it with tearful eyes... Grateful for such faith in what we are doing. The experience is deeply motivational!

We must succeed, we must change the food system in America, because so many good and generous people are counting on us. And with God's help, we will succeed!

This kind and generous elderly man represent all that is good about mankind and our society. He is a light on our path in a dark hour. Such is the work of Angels.

Crazy two days... Good news /bad news

As the sun sets, our initial moving sale is done. What an experience! We have several huge rushes of traffic, I mean so many that I ended up being traffic monitor. There must have been 20 cars in our Circle drive playing bumper cars during the rush periods.

The good news is, we sold a lot of stuff! And that's really good because our income for the two days far exceeded our expectation.several of the big items didn't even sell yet! People who we were very generous and supportive.

We want to thank each of you for coming and supporting us.

The bad news is, the activity caused enough delay to cause me to miss my first trip. We started gathering the fencing to take to Texas but , didn't finish today. And loading has not even started. So, there is no way to get out of here on time tomorrow.

But hey, that's the best reason for a delay!

There are plenty of big items left and many small ones, so we will extend the sale through next week. Some things that need to go:

Bcs rototiller
Brower pasture hog feeder
Hog waterers
Heavy duty chicken nesting boxes
Commercial 8 burner 2 oven propane range
Electric water heater
Commercial fridge
2 stainless 3 or 4 compartment sinks
Commercial dishwasher
Expandable kitchen table
Book cases
PTO generator
Metal hog shelters
Fridges
Chest freezer
Cedar works playset


So much left! Please do come by and browse, or call ahead for details / pricing.

Now rest... Morning off for church, and back at loading!

Need commercial kitchen equipment?

There are a few items that seen like they will be difficult to sell for it move... Perhaps you know of someone who might need these?

8 burner, double oven, propane wolf range

4 compartment stainless steel sink with commercial faucets

Commercial Italian made dishwasher, intended for glassware

Commercial fridge


These are in our farm kitchen, all perfect working order. We can't really take them due to cost of shipping and lack of storage space in the other end. We won't set up a new kitchen for several months, so it doesn't make sense to take them now. We would much rather sell these and then repurchase when it's time.

Available to see at anytime till we move.
