A Life Rooted in Faith and Community with Jerry D Miller

In this episode of Homestead Stories, we are joined by Jerry D Miller, a grass-fed dairy farmer from Holmes County, Ohio, who is deeply rooted in the Amish community. Jerry's journey, which took him full circle from growing up on a dairy farm to eventually taking over his wife's family dairy farm in 2003, obtaining organic certification in 2005, and by 2020 shifted the dairy to a solely grass-fed operation illustrates his strong commitment to sustainability and organic practices. His dedication to sustainable agriculture not only benefits the environment but also upholds the Amish values of simplicity, self-sufficiency, and reverence for nature.

Beyond farming, Jerry is a respected Deacon in the Amish Church, where he plays a significant role in building a faith-based community. In this episode, Jerry discusses the importance of relational integrity and how intentionality in relationships strengthens community bonds. Jerry's insights into how prosperity impacts the community underscore the necessity of maintaining core values amidst growth and success. Tune in to hear Jerry's inspiring story and gain a deeper understanding of the Amish approach to sustainable living and community building.
