We have decided to only be open one a day a week for regular store hours this spring season (Thursdays 11am-7pm). This came after much thought and prayer. We do all the farm work ourselves, we run the store ourselves and we have 3 young children who see us work ALL THE TIME. In seasons past (spring and fall when all 3 of our kids play sports) we have closed the store on Saturdays but opened on Sundays. We intentionally are keeping Sunday as a day of rest for our family. We still work on Sundays, cows still need to be milked, milk still needs to be bottled, animals still need to be fed and watered and bedded, and ultimately fields will need to be planted into new grasses this year. The rest of the day we are committing to The Lord and our family.

We understand this may hurt our sales, and we are 100% ok with that. We do hope that you will understand the intentionality behind this decision and still reach out to us to schedule an appointment to continue to support our farm and ultimately our family. The springs season starts this coming Saturday and will last until the middle of June, at which time we will post our summer hours. During the school year we both work off the farm as well as one the farm. During the summer Amanda is home more and able to have more dedicated store hours. Remember if you are a share member you have access to self-serve any day of the week, that is not changing.

We are excited to see the growth of our farm and the commitment our local community has made to us over the past years and I have no doubt with your support we will continue to grow. As always please reach out if you have any questions, or would like to meet me in the farm store during non-store hours.
