Our Values
Faith
Christ is at the center of why we farm, how we conduct business, and what we hope to accomplish through Waymaker.
Stewardship
We believe the land, the harvest, and the opportunities we've been given ultimately belong to God, and we have a responsibility to care for them well.
Authenticity
We want to honestly share our farm, our practices, our successes, our challenges, and our faith without pretending to be something we're not.
Excellence
We want to grow exceptional pecans and create products worthy of being given to the people who matter most.
Generosity
Ten percent of every bag sold supports Good Samaritan Counseling, a Christian ministry, because we want the blessings of the farm to extend far beyond our family.
Relationships
We're not just in the pecan business; we're in the relationship business. We want Waymaker to help people express gratitude, encourage one another, and share the love of Christ.
Why We Are Called Waymaker
Looking back, the road to farming wasn't the road James and April would have drawn for themselves. That is part of the reason the name means so much.
-
1
A road we would not have drawn
James dreamed of farming for as long as he can remember, but graduated into a financial crisis and began a career in telecommunications instead.
-
2
A door that opened anyway
Poultry in 2015, pecans in 2021, citrus in 2024 — each step opening onto the next.
-
3
A way made all along
What once looked like a dream without a way became a reminder that God had been making the way all along.
Ten Percent, Every Bag
“Our hope is that our products and relationships point people toward Christ.”
Our faith influences how we care for the land, how we conduct business, and what we do with what God has entrusted to us. Every purchase creates an opportunity to encourage someone and point beyond the gift to the Giver of everything.
Our Pledge
10% of every bag sold supports Good Samaritan Counseling, a Christian ministry.
