Farmer Bracelet

Farmers are the original conservationists, working the land to provide food, fuel and fiber for the world. Farmers are always conscious of the resources they use, making sure to replenish them in order to make a living for themselves and their families. This bracelet serves as a reminder of the way our natural resources work in circles and how important it is to respect them.
