'''Jacob Springs Farm''' is a [[beyond organic]], "[[everything farm]]" (description) located near [[Boulder, Colorado]] on the southeast corner of Arapahoe road and 75th street.

==Purpose==
(mission and vision)

[[Ethics]]>[[Farming principles|Principles]]>[[Strategies]]>[[Techniques]]

==History==

[[Jacob Springs Farm]] was founded by [[André Houssney|André]] and [[Vanee Houssney|Vanee]] Houssney in the summer of 2010 when they bought the [[Condon/Debaker]] property close to Boulder. Prior to the purchase, the farm, located at [[Jacob's Corner]], had been named [[Cottonwood Farm]] after a row of giant cottonwood trees which had been planted along Arapahoe Road (originally called Valley Road) in the 1860's. Since the cottonwoods were now gone, having been cut down in 2005 when Arapahoe Road was widened, and since the Condon Family had chosen to continue using the name "[[Cottonwood Farm]]" on land they lease from the Jacobs family to the West of 75th street.

==Goals==
*[[Education]] of young farmers through [[WWOOF]] and internships
*Demonstration of a model of [[profitability]] in regenerative family farming
*Production of [[high quality products]] that are healthy and nutrient dense
*Wholesale [[ecological restoration]] of our property as well as adjacent and leased land
*Achievement of a high level of [[animal well-being]] through reproducible animal husbandry practices
*Refinement of our [[target market]] through CSA, direct sales, and other means
*[[People care]] including health and safety, work satisfaction, spiritual well-being, team dynamics and morale
*Demonstration of the [[Kingdom of God]] through Christian community, love and service

==Daily Schedule==

The farm schedule begins each day Monday through Saturday at dawn (see [[Jacob Springs dawn start times]] calendar) with a 15-20 minute meeting prior to chores. Volunteers, wwoofers, and farm team members are expected to attend. Chores follow the meeting. Workers are invited to join in a (typically) wonderful breakfast following chores. Over breakfast, we typically engage in an informal discussion topic. After breakfast, special projects continue until 11 or noon.

==Philosophy==

===Labor===

*Labor and rest - We believe that hard work is good. Work is a necessity, not only for survival but for people to reach their highest potential. At the same time we believe that rest is essential for humans to thrive (main article:[[Sabbath]]). The fourth commandment of the law of Moses, as recorded in the [[Bible]] reads "Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath." In farming, there is always more work to be done, it can therefore be easy for work to consume all your time. Although this may seem to be productive, there comes a point where constant work degrades the effectiveness of the worker and the discipline of rest must be observed to keep the worker sharp. More commonly perhaps, people are inclined to be unproductive, excessive rest or recreation is dulling to the senses and reduces the productive output of a life. We acknowledge the ancient wisdom of "Six days you shall labor" ''and'' "Remember the sabbath"

*Dull work is not just for dull people
