Farrow founder Charles Mayfield’s interest in clean food and healthy products began when he was working as a personal trainer. He spent years researching nutrition to help his clients reach their fitness goals and eventually co-authored three paleo cookbooks. Along the way, he discovered that it’s not just the kinds of foods we eat that impact our health, but also the way those foods are grown. Learning about regenerative farming changed the course of his life. Charles began Mayfield Pastures with the goal of growing food in a way that could heal the body and the planet – and to give his children a deeper connection to healthy food and the land where it’s grown. As a regenerative farmer, he’s always looking for ways to reduce waste and make the most of the farm’s resources. Several years ago, suffering from a particularly brutal sunburn, Charles tried slathering himself with lard. He was blown away by the surprising speed of his recovery, began researching the use of animal fats in traditional skincare, and the idea for Farrow was born. Farrow’s ingredients are sourced exclusively from regenerative farms and the cream’s signature fragrance is a unique blend of doTerra essential oils.
Do you ever wonder why you’re here? God’s purpose for every believer is to have a righteous impact on others. You can be a vessel through which Christ overflows—touching those who hurt and desperately need a Savior. Scripture teaches our involvement has two main parts.
First, we love others. Jesus clearly stated that this was one of the two greatest commandments (Matthew 22:36-40). In fact, the Bible teaches that it’s impossible to love God if we do not love others (1 John 4:20)—and every one of God’s commands is a means to that end (Matt. 22:40).
Second, we serve. We do this by lifting others in prayer, helping people in need, and sharing our resources. Jesus perfectly modeled all three. His life was marked by caring for others—not only those who loved Him but also those who didn’t. Jesus cared so much, in fact, that He gave His life for our redemption. There is no greater love or act of service than laying down one’s life—especially for undeserving people.
Your purpose is to love and serve others, and when you do, you’ll shine Jesus’ light so brightly that people will want to know Him. Acts of love and service are a way to share the good news about Jesus. Is there someone you can serve today?
