Finding words to write for certain things that happen in life is almost impossible.
It’s especially hard when you’re trying to find words that have enough meaning + feeling to match the meaning + feeling that person gave in this lifetime.
___________
Just over a week ago, our community, neighborhood, + farm lost a kind, caring, integral, + meaningful human.
On the outside, Farmer Steve was our HIGHLY requested hayride driver, the BEST Christmas Santa, our daily farm wellness “checker in’er”, + one of the most IMPORTANT front line faces here on the farm.
On the inside, Steve touched people.
A little tap here, a big tap there.
Tap, tap, touch.
His footprints were always ones of meaningful + lasting touch.
There are endless things to say about Steve to celebrate his far reaching impact and legacy.
There was a richness to his heart that left everyone better.
He made you want to do, be, + live more deeply in service to others.
Don’t know if there is a more beautiful parting gift to leave for others.

Please help us raise a pumpkin + honk a horn for him today by sharing your favorite farm memories + stories below.
And Steve, here’s a tractor pulled triple wagon through a muddy field salute to you. 🚜
You will be DEARLY missed ❤️
