Instead of farming this summer we are doing home renovations to our new house! We have been in our home for maybe six weeks and have updating lighting, sinks, paint colors, the garage door and most importantly a giant fan for our bedroom lol. Three days after moving in our garage door broke so that was a fun little “welcome to home ownership” surprise lol We are slowly getting the house organized and comfortable. It’s been a good change in pace!

I’m not sure exactly what the next chapter is going to fully look like…. But starting off we are super excited to have the privilege of buying our first home. It feels odd not waking up on a farm anymore but I can’t wait to add flower beds and maybe a garden at some point. Im excited for what this summer is going to bring 🙌🏽

We made the hard decision that farmers markets are not in the cards for 2024. When setting out to farm I never dreamed of working with such an amazing organization that helped farms grow and establish their business. Trust me this was the hardest decision but for work life balance markets just did not make sense for us as a business anymore. Thank you for seven amazing season! We will miss you a lot 😢

It’s been a minute since I shared much going on in my life here. With 12 unplanned flights to and from Nashville due to family emergencies/family time and $80,000 worth of crops (almost everything we grew) damaged by elk 2023 closed out to being the worst year of my life. But there were moments like moving to our new space and growing some amazing veggies that were highlights in a dark gloomy year.
Last year my mom and I were supposed to go to our first “away” game together in Nashville on Christmas Eve. With her sudden passing I ruled that idea out. Little did I know between my sister and a good customer friend I happened to make it to Nissan Stadium to see that game and bring mom’s jersey with me. My sister and I even happened to make it on National TV 👀🤭.
Even tho 2024 is supposed to be our 10th season of feels like our first financial. We lost everything last season and with moving to a bigger space our bills skyrocketed. With no financial help from insurance what we can afford to grow and at what scale still seems to be a day to day conversation. We appreciate all the support over the years by each and every customer or support.
Here is to the 2024 Season!
