As Christmas approaches, one idea keeps coming to mind: eating together builds belonging.
Over the next few days, roughly 20,000 families across the country will sit down to a Christmas meal or breakfast, nourished by regenerative foods from our fellowship of family farms.
When I imagine this, I see a map of the United States lit up with thousands of tables — different kitchens, different traditions — all connected by a shared belief:
Life begins in the soil. When we care for the land, the land cares for us.
That’s one reason regenerative farming resonates so deeply with me. It honors the intricate design of our Creator and reminds us that healing often starts in quiet humble places.
No matter how divided the world becomes, our community remains united by a simple hope — that good food, healthy soils, and local stewardship can quietly restore resilience, abundance, and connection from the ground up.
And long after public policy and big food systems take credit for discovering regenerative agriculture, I’ll remember this community — the early adopters — who were quietly sowing the real change one meal at a time.
If you’re able, I invite you to leave a holiday greeting for your fellow regenerative food supporters here on the post.
Feel free to share where you’re celebrating from, and help families across the country feel part of something special.
From my family to yours — Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
May your table be filled with nourishing food and a deep sense of belonging
Your farmers,
The Hitzfield family
