Missed our email newsletter? Check out this email for a Barn/Life Update: 🐴
We wanted to drop in a little personal update alongside barn news. Some of you may have noticed The Mini Whinnies at Quarter Acre Wood haven't had as many events this year. We have shifted a bit with our schedule this year. With that we found it in the best interest to raise some of our prices this year and go 'all in' on the few events we can have so we can best serve other businesses we partner with, students, clients, community, and family. Though the last several months have been a bumpy ride at times, we are continually learning along the way that God is good and He can use even the worst situations for our good as we learn to trust Him more fully. To read the full update, check out our email newsletter here (don't mind the old info in the link title 🧐):
