So What is "Ahavah" Anyway?

Image
As most of you know, the name of our farm, "Ahavah," means "Love," but that's the English translation.  So what does "Ahavah" actually mean and why did we name our farm this? One of the coolest things about the Hebrew language is that every letter has meaning.  The words themselves are the descriptors. Look up the word "Love" in the English dictionary and you will find something similar to this: "a  (1)   :  strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties  maternal  love  for a child   ( 2 )   :  attraction based on sexual desire  :  affection and tenderness felt by lovers  After all these years, they are still very much in  love .   ( 3 )   :  affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests: love  for his old schoolmates b   :  an assurance of affection : give her my  love"  (Miriam Webster) So for many of you, when we say, "Ahavah means l

Yes, that's right. Say "NO" to tractors around your food!  Why?  How else will we feed ourselves without those big shiny (or in many cases not-so-shiny) tractors?  The answer is simple and so is the explanation.  This is the first of a series regarding small-farm, regenerative agricultural practices that I will be writing about. This post is regarding tractors.  I will be following up with other dubious practices such as: Tilling, fish emulsion and other "organic" fertilizers, flood irrigation, the benefits of heirloom vegetables and more - so make sure to subscribe to our RSS feed and comment below as well! I get asked all the time why we do not use tractors, and what is our beef with them.  There are multiple issues that I have with the tractor, the least of the reasons may shock you, and it is probably what you are all thinking:  The greenhouse gas emissions.  Although tractors do emit enormous amounts of greenhouse gases, that is not the reason I am so
