Today is a new year. Today starts a fresh, new start to begin anew and reevaluate all the goals and plans for the coming months.
I’m excited about today and this entire year. This year is my ‘moment of truth’. In my lifetime, I’ve ran many of my own businesses and worked for myself most of my lifetime. I managed to make ends meet, but something has always come up that I had to end my business. It is said that a millionaire will fail 13 times before succeeding into the million dollar business. I feel that it is my turn and my 13 times are behind me now. I’m ready — not to become a millionaire, but to become and DO what makes me happy in my life. That in itself is success. I want to be able to sustain my income and lifestyle doing what brings a smile to my face each morning when I willingly jump out of bed to start the day. Right now, that is farming!
Today begins my journey toward farming as a living, not as a hobby. I will take each day to prepare for the upcoming spring gardens and to build the necessary coops for the chickens, turkey’s and other farm animals.
My goal is to produce eating eggs and deliver them to my customers. (move over milkman, here comes the egg lady!). As produce from the garden and orchards are ready to harvest, the delivery service will be able to offer other items, along with the eggs, throughout the year.
My farm offers my customers a chance to see where their food comes from. They will be welcome to come and pull weeds, gather eggs, feed the animals and the compost bin (shoveling poop)! They can pick their own produce and get a good feel of the hard work and satisfying feeling it is to know your own food. 
Customers will also have a chance to give back to the farm by recycling table scraps to feed the chickens and pig. Egg cartons are recycled here, too, which keeps them out of the landfill.
Life is simple on the farm, yet hard. It gets back to the putting dirt between your fingers while planting your own food. There is a lot to always learn on the farm and education continues to bring more and more success learning as we go.
If you are interested in becoming part of the farm and finding out where your food comes from… KNOWING where your food comes from, drop me an email and feel free to leave a comment. I will put you on our waiting list for eggs and produce. This will not be a CSA this year because I’m not ready to conquer the drought, floods, deer and whatever else that mother nature has ready to pounce on the garden. As I grow, a CSA may be more likely once irrigation systems and other projects are completed. Until then, I will grow slowly and build a reputation for high quality food for my customers.
Along with food, the farm will offer a chance for you to raise your own backyard chickens. We hatch and sell chicks, or sell hatching eggs so YOU can hatch your own chicks.
Keep up with our farm and join us! I love all the support and encouragement to keep it moving forward throughout the year!
