Jacob the Sunbeam

Dale is often asked, “Are you Jacob?” The answer is, “No, I'm his Dad.”

Jacob is our oldest son. He was born in our home in Guadalajara, Mexico March 22, 1999. He was a delight from the beginning. Such a happy disposition and quick smile.

He was soon joined by his brother, Isaac, and sister, Vashti. Isaac was his best friend. They did everything together. He adored his sister and told us often of his intention to marry her someday. He introduced himself to people outside the family by saying, “Hi, I'm Jacob the Sunbeam.” He truly was a light in this world.

In 2003 we moved our family to Maryland. It was a beautiful, happy time. It was there that Jacob passed away unexpectedly the day after Christmas. He was 4 years old. My family rushed out to Maryland, packed us up and moved us back to Utah. His body was laid to rest in the Orem City Cemetery.

Our farming has been part of our healing and a way for our family to work and grow together. It's also our way of celebrating his life.

We love the name Jacob's Cove. We love his name. We also love that the word “cove” means “a sheltered nook”. We want our farm to be that sheltered nook, that safe haven for those seeking real nourishment in this world. Jacob would have loved it here.

Every food we harvest is done with the intention of bringing great joy and a long and happy life to those who eat it.

We like to think that some of that sunshine that ripens your food comes from Jacob the Sunbeam.
