As we celebrate Father’s Day, we’re shining the spotlight on Vance Thompson, a dedicated father of three who’s made sustainable living a way of life. And today, we’re excited to share his story with you.

Vance’s journey to sustainable living begins with composting. By collecting tree and yard waste, shredding it into chips, and adding it to his compost piles, he creates nutrient-rich soil for his trees. He also collects chicken manure, which he spreads around trees to provide additional nutrients. The result is a valuable resource teeming with microorganisms and nutrients.

“The benefits of composting are numerous,” Vance says. “It not only reduces waste and creates a natural fertilizer for healthy plant growth, but it also helps sequester carbon in the soil, making it a vital step in reducing our environmental impact.”

Vance’s prized possession is his avocado tree, which produces avocados packed with high vitamins. These avocados have a unique property called HOOFA (High-Omicron-Fatty-Acid), which makes them fresh for longer and resistant to oxidation. This means that Vance’s avocados remain fresh for days, even weeks without turning brown or rancid.

“This is pleasing for anyone who loves avocados,” Vance says. “Imagine having fresh, delicious avocados days after they’re cut without worrying about them spoiling.”

Vance’s tangerine orange trees are another source of pride for him. With a sugar index of 18, these oranges are incredibly sweet and juicy. They’re perfect for snacking, baking, or making delicious marmalades.

“The sweetness of these oranges is unmatched,” Vance says. “They’re a staple in our household, and we love enjoying them fresh off the tree.”

Vance’s story is a testament to the power of sustainable living and the impact it can have on our daily lives. By composting and growing his own food, he’s created a healthy and thriving environment that benefits his family and the planet.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, let’s take a cue from Vance’s commitment to sustainability. By adopting small changes in our daily lives, such as composting and growing our own food, we can make a positive impact on the environment and create healthier, more sustainable communities.
