Growing up on an organic farm, where humane animal husbandry is as important to us as treating other people and our land with respect and reverence, Reed has developed an understanding of the different between pets and farm animals. While he loves, tends to, and values our farm animals, he also is aware of the fact that they are not here forever and that we must say goodbye at some point. Recently he said goodbye to the pigs that have been here since April. He has had an almost daily role in their care and when we eat pork and say our grace, he is certain to thank those "piggies" for being part of our farm and our life.
