I started a small-potatoes tree service, anticipating it would be seasonal work when the farm wasn&#8217;t in production. We leased land for the farm, I rented equipment for the tree service. I bought some arborwear blue jeans because I blew out Carharts too fast. I happened to rent a chipper for my brush pile two day before a storm came through our region in January of 2008. We had gusts in excess of 90mph, and the phone rang off the hook for months. I kept that chipper for the next three weeks until we broke it. Nearly 5 years later, the phone has still not stopped ringing for the tree service, and I&#8217;m still wearing that first pair of blue jeans I got. With the help of our tree business&#8217;s success, we finally bought our own land, and continue to farm about 8 acres of mixed vegetables. Emily and I do the work with our team of Belgian draft horses, and you&#8217;ll find me in a pair of Arborwear pants whether I&#8217;m 80 feet up a Sycamore, at the Farmer&#8217;s Market, or behind the potato digger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1571,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arborwear.com\/tcia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonial\/1570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arborwear.com\/tcia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonial"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arborwear.com\/tcia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/testimonial"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arborwear.com\/tcia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arborwear.com\/tcia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
