1. Provide educational experiences for my kids, teaching them about the land, work, gardening, and business. 
2. Provide a means whereby my children and other kids in the community can earn money, part of which could hopefully go towards paying for future, full-time missions to serve the Lord. 
3. Increase the personal peace and satisfaction that I feel as I work in nature with some of nature’s basic elements—dirt, seeds, water, and light. 
4. Share in the joy of the harvest with others in the community.
5. Plant and eat more raspberries (Farmer Dave really likes the raspberries!)
6. Exercise some of my creative energies through beautifying a garden.
7. Follow the promptings of my ancestral Muses, chief of which was my grandfather, who seems to still be passing on his love of the garden.
