Farmer
A farmer is a professional engaged in agriculture, cultivating crops and raising livestock to produce food and other raw materials. Their tasks vary from planting, growing, and harvesting crops such as grains, fruits, and vegetables, to breeding and caring for animals like cattle, pigs, and chickens. The farm is often both the residence and the workplace for the farmer. Their work is influenced by weather and soil conditions. Because they produce raw materials, farms are often at the beginning of the supply chain

February 11, 1789
Antonius Lutz was born on February 11, 1789, on the Lutz Family estate in the district of Vöhren. He was born into a family of farmers that had owned the estate for many centuries, growing diverse crops and keeping cattle. From a very young age, he had to lend a hand with farm work, first caring for the smaller animals and helping with the harvest, and later doing the heavier labor work. There was no money for school, except for Sunday School at church.

Johanna Voorman was born on January 4, 1824, as the daughter of an equestrian. As was tradition within the family, she was gifted a small newborn horse named Rosa. Her parents intended to train Rosa so that Johanna could ride her when she was old enough. Johanna developed a love for horses at a very young age. Even as an infant, she did not fear approaching the largest horses, sometimes even untamed ones. She developed a keen eye for their behaviour and could train even in the most difficult cases.

Lisa Lutz was born on May 5, 1828, as the second child of Antonius Lutz and Josephina Vos on the Lutz estate in the district of Vöhren. She has one older brother named Bernardus Lutz, who was present at her birth. She grew up like many others in the countryside, spending most of her time on the farm. There was not enough money for school, and the children were expected to help on the farm with small tasks and the harvest. There was only Sunday school in church, which focused mainly on reading and studying religion. Lisa loved her youth on the farm. She wanted to help her father with all kinds of chores, even if they were too heavy for her. She had a deep, almost spiritual connection with the animals and dreamed of having a farm of her own one day.
