Have you ever thought about the similarities between a football team and a family farm?
First of all both entities work all year long to then reap their rewards at the peak of fall! Secondly football is a team sport with a capital T. Defense, offense, special teams - one is worthless without the other and every player depends on their teammates... on a family farm everyone is required to fulfill their specialized roles too for the wheels to keep turning - and trust is what ties everyone together on a farm as well as on a football field. Thirdly it goes for both a football team and a farm that a lot of components are out of their control. Setbacks are a given and longterm success very often comes down to how well the team responds to the setbacks. Championships aren't won overnight and a family farm isn't built without blood, sweat and tears as well as lots of resilience.
We are honoured to have family farms among our sponsors. The Gessell family's commitment to the community is admirable, and we are thankful for their contribution to our lights project as a First Down Sponsor. Thank You to G3 Farms!
