A New Year - A New Way to Farm
A New Way to Look at Food!
You likely have a personal relationship with your doctor. You most surely know your dentist by name. Your accountant may also be a good friend.
But do you know your farmer?
Today, this question is more important than at any other time in history. A farmer is the one person who provides you and your family with the vital energy and nutrients needed to live a healthy and happy life.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we heard of yet another food recall?peanut butter of all things - industrial peanut butter! And not long before that, it was a beef recall, and prior to that it was lettuce and tomatoes?.or was it spinach? It is getting difficult to keep track of them all.
During the age of our grandparents, you did know your farmer, and in many cases you also grew some of your own food. But times have changed dramatically, and our population base has moved farther from the land than ever before. ?Industrial food? is now common place, and the United States has become a net importer of food for the first time in history!
That is part of the reason why my family started Wallace Farms back in 2002. We wanted to return to the days of food simplicity. We felt that is was critical to know where our food came from and how it was raised. Along the way, we realized that many other families might feel the same?and someday ask themselves - ?Who does raise my food??
My Story
My name is Nick Wallace, and I run our family business, known as Wallace Farms and Nick?s Wild Fish. I was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 20??I?m now 31. My family and I were shocked at the news and immediately began asking - ?How? Why?? They were fair questions, and ones that everyone asks their doctor when first receiving a cancer diagnosis.
Unfortunately, rarely does a definitive answer exist. My cancer could have been caused by a host of things, but for a variety of factors we have come to believe that it was likely related to my diet?or lack thereof.
I suspect that you may know someone who has had cancer or who is still fighting it today. Cancer comes in many forms, types and stages, but it always exists because the body was unable to repair itself and broke down. When working properly, the body protects itself from potential illness, disease and trauma.
What many people do not realize is that high-quality, nutrient-dense food can be the body?s best protection against breakdowns, and as a result, food must be your primary foundation for overall good health.
My Goal
I strive to provide my family and yours with the best food that I can raise myself ? or find from other like-minded farmers in the region.
