People ask about our name. Handsel is an old English word that refers to a token gift, a sign of greater things to come. In times past, it was a gesture of blessing, an assurance that something small could lead to something far greater.
For us, Handsel represents the reality that this farm is a gift from God’s hand. It’s the culmination of a dream to enjoy and honor our family heritage. Every tree, every field, every animal we raise, and every meal that finds its way to a family’s table is a testament to His provision. But more than that, we hope our farm will be a blessing, a gift God will use to multiply for good in Indiana.
