We are stewards of this amazing land and due to aboundance it's easy to forget that what we consume was once a living breathing thing. We have a responsibility as stewards of this land to not only give back... but to also return and restore the dignity to the food that we consume.
To our farmers who work tirelessly to produce the best quality food, to our chefs who pay attention to carrying on the dignity and honor to the center of the plate ... But most of all... To the animals themselves... Life is constantly a transfer of energy going back and forth to sustain... "Life"...and the best way we can honor and respect the food we consume... Is to go out and do something amazing in this world.
Remember... Our Livestock gave it's life for us to live and progress in this world. To simply consume and not transfer that energy into something useful is a waste.
We cherish life. And it's emotional to transfer our livestock so that we can sustain life. It's the one reason we ensure that they live the best possible happiest life they can to the end.
We know that those who support us... Understand our mission.
It's deeply entrenched in the warrior code that most of us Combat veterans have had to endure... When we see the value of our own lives cheapened through death.
This project through the Spirit of Captain Kyle A Comfort has given us a new understanding on how we look at loss to sustain life. We bless our food for a reason and it's in this reason that we succeed in life. Thanks for your continued support.
