Why We Do What We Do
To begin with, we at Harvest Haven were all in darkness, in everything. We were once void of very life itself. We thought we knew how to live. Plainly, we did not. Who knew we needed to learn how to live? God took a hold of us, each in his and her turn, stripped us of the old, and gave us the new. He began to reveal Himself, His will, and how to live. The Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge...." The light began to shine, and we began to learn. One day several years ago, before the farm, He gave notice that He was taking us "back to basics." I had no idea what that meant or what it would entail. I was thinking in spiritual terms, if thinking at all, and did not suspect that the things of this physical world would be involved. In 1995, He led us to buy the farm, and named it Harvest Haven. There began a new realm of learning, much of which came by needful and valuable suffering through failure, disappointment and loss. However, God was, and has been with us to this very day. The trials continue, but things have turned, and we are now victorious in Him, and thankful to Him for His abundant mercies and blessings. We see, on every side, a troubled and confused world. People are searching desperately for answers, or they are resigned to the notion that there are very few, if any, true answers to be had, although multitudes clamor for attention, claiming to have answers. God has taught and proved to us that there is nothing to fear. We have worked at simplifying life, at addressing the complexity of decision-making. It may be hard to believe, but there are indeed simple solutions in this complex world. That is what Harvest Haven is all about. We have been given answers, simple solutions for life's problems and challenges, and we are here to share those answers for those whom God has ordained to receive them. "Back to basics" means food for both body and soul. For the body, we were designed to eat wholesome, naturally grown whole foods, properly prepared for nutritious and enjoyable eating. Harvest Haven has that. We need good water to cleanse us within and without, to hydrate our bodies properly and deliver nutrients where needed. Harvest Haven offers that to you. We need genuinely helpful physical and medical health equipment to compensate for the environment, which today is poisoned and depleted of essential elements, like oxygen, negative ions, and healthy magnetism, for examples. We offer those. We need good air. We have solutions for that. We need some powerfully effective, naturally balanced, supplements, immune boosters, antioxidants and anti-pathogens. We need not harmful (most are harmful), but healing body care and household maintenance products. Harvest Haven has those. Whatever God has provided for us as good and necessary for our bodies, we have, and stand ready to offer these to you. For the soul, the ringing cry of God, by the Scriptures and by His people, is "Repent! Repent of breaking His laws! Repent of doing evil to your neighbor or stranger! Return to your Maker Who loves you and Who gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for you." We all owe Him, big time. We are His, and not our own. So let us not deceive ourselves into thinking we have the right to do as we please. We do not. This we know, and have staked our lives on that knowledge. Having that knowledge, and being granted the grace to embrace it, we are blessed. All the good food, water, air, money, health equipment and friends in the world will not suffice if we are not right with our Maker. Nevertheless, there is a time and place for every soul. We stand ready to provide and to minister in all things, at whatever level, be it physical or spiritual, as the Lord wills. We are not here to preach or to convert, except where it is given us to do so. We are here to serve God and man as called by Him to do so. If all you need is a bottle of Wild Oil of Oregano, and are interested in nothing else, so be it. We have it; we make it available to you for a price, and require nothing more. If you are interested in more, or in everything, we are here to provide, as God grants the grace. That is what we at Harvest Haven are all about. Some will be okay with this declaration; some will not. That is okay with us. We don't necessarily expect you to understand or agree. We are simply here to serve you where you are at, again, Lord willing. Come as you will, and receive what you will. Victor Hafichuk |
