What does it really take to run a farm⌠and keep your head above water?
Itâs not just farming.
Itâs being the vet.â¨The marketer.â¨The social media manager.â¨The order packer.â¨The delivery driver.â¨The bookkeeper.â¨The problem solver⌠for everything.
Itâs answering emails and messages late at night.â¨Chasing parts for broken equipment.
Booking in cars for servicing. â¨Watching fuel prices climb and knowing every trip to market, every delivery, every supply run costs more than it did last week.
Itâs planning, packing, loading, drivingâŚâ¨Standing at markets all weekend with a smile - while quietly wondering how much more everything can stretch.
And then doing it all again on Monday.
Thereâs no clocking off.â¨No clear lines between work and life.â¨No âsomeone else will handle that.â
Because itâs all us.
And in a world that feels increasingly uncertain - weather, costs, demand, everything shifting -â¨weâre making decisions daily without a safety net.
Then thereâs the other side of itâŚ
Sharing our life online to connect and shareâ¨and knowing that what people see is only a fraction.
â¨Yet sometimes it can feel like people think they know our whole story,â¨our choices,â¨our business,â¨based on a few squares on a screen.
Itâs a strange place to sit in.
And somewhere in between,â¨weâre trying to be present parents,â¨partners â¨and people who arenât completely running on empty.
Some days we juggle it well.â¨Other days⌠Something has to give.
Right now, if weâre honest,â¨weâre running a little low.
Not because we donât love what we do.â¨But because caring this much, carrying this much; it adds up.
We share this because behind every small farm is more than just food.
â¨There are people holding a lot, quietly.
So if youâve supported us, checked in, or even just stopped for a chat at the markets - thank you.đ¤â¨
It means more than you probably realise.
