About This Quote

A visit to the family farm in spring means witnessing growth and challenge and beauty and stillness all rolled into one. This quote says that a farmer’s life is a beautiful one. Though he may be working in the fields, he sees life outside of the farm as well. He has seen trees grow from seeds, plants grow from grass, and animals have grown from eggs. A farmer too will have his own growth and challenges in life, but it is his job to keep things growing until they are ready for harvest.
