For as long as he can remember, James dreamed of farming. He just never knew how that dream would become a reality. What follows is how a road opened, one step at a time.
“What once looked like a dream without a way became a reminder that God had been making the way all along.”
James and April on the farm, the soil, and what Waymaker is for.
Instead of simply asking, "What does the plant need?" they began asking, "What does God's creation already provide, and how can we work with it instead of against it?" The goal was no longer simply to grow a crop. It was to become better stewards of what God had entrusted to them — to build healthier soil, grow healthier plants, produce exceptional food, and leave the land better for the next generation.
“Behold, I will do something new… I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. — Isaiah 43:19”
We believe healthy plants are built from healthy, living soil. Rather than focusing only on feeding the tree, we focus on feeding and rebuilding the soil ecosystem — working with natural systems rather than simply treating symptoms.
“Biologically active compost, soil biology, and rebuilding healthy soil.”
Biologically active composted poultry litter feeds soil biology, builds organic matter and returns nutrients to the orchard. Humus compost extract is the foundation of our foliar fertility program.
“Cover crops, living roots, natural systems, and reduced chemical disturbance.”
Our pecan and citrus orchards are Regenerative Verified™ through Soil Regen, and we incorporate cover crops into orchard-floor management to keep living roots in the soil, build biomass and support biological diversity.
“Healthy soil, healthy trees, exceptional food, and responsible stewardship.”
Natural products and unconventional management practices support plant health and help manage pecan scab and insect pressure — so we can leave the land better for the next generation.
“We believe the way we grow food can point people to the One who created it.”
Waymaker Pecans exists to glorify God by growing exceptional food through faithful stewardship of His creation, building meaningful relationships, and creating opportunities to point people toward Christ. We believe every harvest is a gift, and that the relationships created through sharing that harvest can become opportunities to share something far greater.
Every product is intentionally created to be shared — giving people an opportunity to strengthen relationships, express gratitude, encourage others, and point them toward the Giver of everything.
We're not just in the pecan business; we're in the relationship business.
