Had a lovely visit to the farm by a family on a road trip. If you would like some down time with your family we may be an option for a picnic lunch, BBQ
And meet the animals. We aren’t available Saturdays during the month of October.

Matthew 12:25-28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
When Jesus talked about unity he was talking about Christians. They are to be united in him. He wasn’t talking about Christian’s uniting with and accepting the world. In fact he taught the opposite. Christians are to be a peculiar people and keep themselves from evil. He came to separate the wheat from the tarred and the sheep from the goats.

Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Working toward hosting farm visits. We plan to offer a craft time, tractor rides during cooler weather, animal interactions, or just a time for a family to disconnect and relax.

If your first message to me starts with "Will you do a discount if I buy 2, Any cheaper for 5?"
Please know, I'll probably ignore you.

I do not understand why small farms or small businesses are valued less than corporations when the product is usually better.

I don't understand why people have no issues supporting corporations, can pay for Starbucks happily, pay for their vacation happily, brag on Facebook about a fancy restaurant they ate at, or a new car , but when it comes to supporting a small farm or a small business they want a discount.

When asking for a discount , Please include what's in it for me ... I'm all ears, because right now I am staying sold out on the eggs/chicks/ducklings you just asked for a discount on. Some breeders have varieties you can't get just anywhere.
Or are you just trying to get something cheaper because YOU value MY work less than a Value meal from McDonald's or a Starbucks coffee ?

To all farmers, breeders, small business owners out there, don't let anyone put a value on your work.
Your work pays your bills....

People complain there are no small businesses left.
Small businesses cannot compete with corporations
