Farm Dreams

A Good Dad

Tristan Klesick always seems to find a moment to focus on his kids.
He is a very busy man. He runs a business delivering boxes of organic food in three counties. He runs a farm, 37 acres. It's a labor intensive farm, involving plowing, planting, weeding and more--all the hard way, because it is organic. He also has horses, cattle, chickens, goats, dogs and kids. Lots of kids. Eight all together, from 1 to 16. That’s a newborn every two years for a long while.

The sweet moment between Tristan and his daughter is like countless other times I've seen him stop in the middle of whatever work he was doing to pay attention to one of his kids. This time, it is Madeleine, who has something to say about the family cat.
