Delaware lost 144 farms in the 2017-2022 time period, a loss of approximately 6.3% of the farms in the state, which amounts to the loss of about 2,000 acres farmed (an average of almost 14 acres per lost farm).
We have a few things we recommend you avoid.
But we thought it might be better to first remind you of a few things to NOT avoid.
- family - develop good relationships
- good food - eat healthy: organic, nutrient-dense, unprocessed
- quiet times - silence and seeking God

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Preparing, Planting, Fertilizing, Harvesting.

If you've been around jubileebackforty.com a few times, you know things change from time to time.
The reasons aren't always clear to a user, but we have had our reasons...and our seasons.
As always, we consider you our friend if you're here, and at least our neighbor if you're not.
