WISDOM FROM THE FARM ON LIVING FULLY AND FAITHFULLY

At Nate’s, we believe we should measure our success by how we live, treat one another and influence our community and world.

When we say, “from our family to yours,” we mean it. The Nate’s team feels like family. We treat each other with respect and empathy and strive to keep a culture that promotes a healthy lifestyle. We want our team members to want to come to work every day.

To keep these ideas top of mind each day, we try to live by our Bee Attitudes. This list reminds each Nate’s family member to be true to our word and ourselves and to strive to make a positive impact on those around us.

So, our Bee Attitudes are not merely a list of great words but also a representation of values. These values work to shape our identity, promote alignment, influence our behavior, guide our decision-making and inspire our professional and personal relationships.

BEE GENEROUS

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. –Proverbs 11:25

Generosity is an opportunity to go beyond expectations and give distinctly from the heart. Through our time, talents and treasures, we try always to take our giving to the next level. We hope to be as generous with others as we would hope others would be with us.

BEE LOVING

You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. -Mark 12:30-1

We seek to be a loving community that serves our families, teammates, customers and vendors with kindness. We strive to treat everyone we encounter with loving kindness and let our loving actions radiate outward throughout our community.

BEE HONEST

For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man. -2 Corinthians 8:21

Therefore, we demonstrate honesty through our words and actions as we work together with unwavering integrity and pure motives. We strive to be consistently honest; being as honest with others and ourselves as we’d hope they would be with us.

BEE FAITHFUL

Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. -1 Corinthians 4:2

Because we strive to be faithful, we accomplish our work to the best of our abilities and complete each task with excellence.

BEE PASSIONATE

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. -Colossians 3:23-24A

Above all, we choose to care about what we do with all our heart and remember that our passions and abilities are never for personal glory. We strive to embrace life with heart and passion, excitedly engaging and energizing our circle of work and influence.

BEE CREATIVE

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. –Ephesians 2:10

God created each of us purposefully with unique talents and opportunities. We strive to engage our team and community in creative and intentional ways through fresh ideas, perspectives and solutions. We aim to think and work with creative minds and hearts.
