Brayden has been fascinated with homesteading and farming from a young age.  As an 11 year old one of his favorite pastimes was to read gardening books from the library. At 12, Brayden, along with his family, moved to a plain community where their neighbors lived off the land.  There he learned the art of raising wagon loads of organic produce.  Some of these wagons were carted off to market and some were heartily consumed by his large family.  (Brayden is the first of 11 children).

​

While on the farm Brayden had a dramatic and life changing encounter with Yeshua.  From that moment on he knew that this person he had learned about from the Bible was indeed as real and alive today as He was 2000 years ago. From the farm he joined his family in the giant leap to Israel to help establish the organization HaYovel. He served 14 years in this volunteer organization that helps farmers on the prophetic hillsides of Judea and Samaria.  Through all these experiences God has placed in Brayden’s heart a desire to connect sustainable farming with night and day worship.  

 

Brayden is married to Tali, an amazing and spirited woman who has given birth to 7 sweet children.  

Tali grew up on her church’s worship team from 12 years old to 24. As a child and into her twenties she took voice lessons, was a part of numerous community and professional musical productions, and participated in many choirs.  She has a passion for encouraging EVERY person to embrace and learn to use their special God-given voice for His glory.

 

In addition to vocals, Tali also plays some instruments. Her experience on worship teams over the years has been a huge blessing and she hopes to help others embrace the role of leading worship or supporting a worship leader.

Aaron was born and raised in Tennessee. He is the 4th born in a family of 14 children. He was homeschooled and grew up in the trades. He learned guitar and drums at a young age and loves to worship. At 22 he married Victoria and they have 4 young boys. He has spent over 3 1/2 years combined, volunteering in Israel with a ministry called HaYovel, serving Israel's Small Farmers.

 

He is a licensed Electrician and has experience in HVAC. He worked for his family's construction company for 10 years, until last year, when he felt God wanted him to give his time more fully to ministry. He is very passionate about the message and work of the Love & Purity Ministry. He desires to share the freedom that comes with walking in The Light to anyone who will listen.

Keith’s agricultural career began at the age of 10 on his family's farm. Around 1980, Keith's dad decided to start the process of leaving traditional agriculture and move toward a reduced chemical and more sustainable nutrient way of farming. This led them through various changes and challenges in crop rotation, cover cropping, tillage, and even the usage of "biologicals."

 

The Montgomery family started Zone Products Company about the time Keith graduated from College. Since then Keith has worked for Zone Products in products development and production, and has started a cow/calf operation. 

Boaz was born and raised homesteading and farming in different regions of the USA (Southern Oregon /Hawaii/Missouri/Kentucky) and grew up learning the things it took to care for plants and livestock in different climates. At age 14 he started picking up guitar and mandolin, and playing worship and gospel music. Around this time he started working on a construction crew with his father building pole barns and houses then going on to start his own construction business several years later.

 

When he was 17 he apprenticed with a blacksmith/metal fabricator and learned blacksmithing and metal work.

 

His passion is to see this generation rise up against the status quo of laziness, apathy, and immorality; and to equip and disciple young men and women in the skills needed to build God's kingdom both spiritually and physically. He loves worshiping the Father through music, hosting athletic activities, and working outside in God's creation.

 

He will be teaching welding and blacksmithing at Harp+Farm as well as leading work projects, activities, and worship watches.
