Fresh Futures: 10 Tips For Embracing New Beginnings

Navigating fresh starts is a journey often marked by both uncertainty and hope. At our farm stand, recent challenges have tested our resilience. The theft that shook us has been a profound hardship, yet the unwavering support from our community has filled our hearts with gratitude. As we look forward, unsure of the path ahead but determined to find our way, one thing is clear: fresh starts offer us the chance to grow, learn, and embrace new possibilities.

In times of adversity, the kindness and solidarity of our supporters shine brighter than ever. Each act of support reminds us that we are not alone in facing challenges, and it strengthens our resolve to move forward with optimism and resilience.

Here are 10 tips for embracing new beginnings:

Reflect and Release: Take time to reflect on the past, acknowledge lessons learned, and release any lingering negativity. Clearing emotional clutter opens space for new possibilities.

Set Intentions: Define clear intentions for what you want to achieve or experience in this new chapter. Intentions provide direction and purpose.

Create a Vision Board: Visualize your aspirations by creating a vision board. Include images and words that inspire and motivate you towards your goals.

Establish Daily Rituals: Start each day with rituals that promote positivity and mindfulness, such as meditation, journaling, or a morning walk. Consistent routines set a positive tone.

Embrace Learning: Explore new interests or deepen existing skills. Learning fosters growth and opens doors to unexpected opportunities.

Declutter and Organize: Streamline your environment by decluttering spaces and organizing belongings. A tidy space promotes clarity and enhances productivity.

Nurture Relationships: Cultivate meaningful connections with loved ones and supportive friends. Surround yourself with positivity and encouragement.

Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself during transitions. Celebrate progress, acknowledge setbacks as learning opportunities, and prioritize self-care.

Explore Nature: Spend time outdoors to rejuvenate and gain perspective. Nature nurtures the soul and provides a sense of renewal.

Celebrate Milestones: Recognize and celebrate milestones, both big and small, along your journey. Each step forward is a testament to your growth and resilience.


Together, let's remember to turn challenges into opportunities and create the future we envision, guided by the support and strength of our community.

As winter blanketed the farm in its icy grip, we've grappled with the unavoidable truth that this season brings loss. While each departure weighs heavily on our hearts, two recent losses have been particularly significant. Big Bird, our cherished emu at the age of 37, bid us farewell after many years of companionship. While her departure was expected due to her age, it has left a profound void in our hearts. During her final hours, as we noticed she wasn't doing well, we brought her into the warmth of our home. For her last 24 hours, she was nestled under a blanket, surrounded by the comfort of our presence. It was a peaceful and intimate farewell, a fitting end for our dear feathered friend. Another somber loss that should be mentioned is the passing of Meri, our beautiful Berkshire sow. Taken from us tragically during the horrible cold snap that hit the Northwest. A fight with a basic infection coupled with that dangerous cold tipped the scales and unfortunately s

Hopping Right Along

It was right before the weather turned cold that our little FarmHer was gifted a colony of breeding rabbits. And true to rowdy Raye they couldn't just be cute cuddle buns, oh no! They had to of course be…  meat rabbits!  Yes, meat bunnies! It wasn't just the rabbits themselves, it was all the things that go along with them too. She and Ole Pa were tearing up the road dragging home the happy hoppers and all the paraphernalia that go along with them like cages, water system, feeders and more. Somehow they even managed to sneak in another barn kitten to add to our cat herd.  Now what? Raye, having grown up here where we have an almost obsessive need to provide more than adequate care for critters, decided the accompanying cages were not large enough. This, despite the fact that they are almost double in size of industry standards cages just wouldn't work for the pint size peanut. No, she wanted her bunnies living their best bunny lives in a happy family style colon

This week's newsletter will be a bit brief, as recent events have left our hearts heavy. There was a break-in at the farm, and it has been incredibly sad not seeing folks come and go, sharing in the simple joys of farm life. We've had to close the farm stand temporarily as we regroup and reassess.  It's a time of pulling in close, recalibrating, and finding our footing once more. The farm, which is usually a place of bustling activity and community, feels strangely silent without the daily interactions we cherish so much. Our hearts just aren't in it right now, as we navigate through this period of uncertainty and reflection. Through this, we lean on our faith and the comforting words of scripture. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." We hold onto this promise, trusting that even in this challenging time, He
