I don’t even really know where to start with this one.
It has been a week of very long days, very little sleep, a ridiculous amount of driving, lifting, organizing, reorganizing, checking lists, answering messages, and doing our absolute best to make sure everyone got their Thanksgiving turkey.
And somehow, in the middle of all of that exhaustion, there is so much gratitude.
Farming is one of those things where your heart really has to be in it. Because if you counted the hours, or the missed sleep, or the number of times you said “I’m never doing this again” while knowing full well you absolutely will… it probably wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense.
But then weeks like this happen.
We get to hand over food that we raised to families who are going to gather around their tables and share it with the people they love.
And suddenly the long days feel pretty damn worthwhile.
There are so many people who helped us get through this week. Our family and friends stepped up in a BIG way – delivering turkeys, moving things around, helping with Amelia, and generally making an absolutely insane, never-ending week a whole lot easier.
We truly could not have done it without you.
And to our customers – thank you.
Thank you for continuing to show up for our farm. Thank you for trusting us to raise your food. Thank you for telling your friends about us, coming back year after year, meeting us at markets, ordering from the farm, and choosing to spend your hard-earned money supporting a local farm.
There are a lot of easier and cheaper ways to buy food.
The fact that you choose us is something we will never take for granted.
Long Lane Farms has grown and changed so much over the years, and we simply would not be where we are today without the people who have supported us along the way.
So from two very tired farmers with very full hearts – thank you.
We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by good people, good food, and maybe a Long Lane turkey in the middle of the table.
P.S. Thank you for an absolute SELL OUT turkey year. Every single bird found a home. That one feels pretty incredible. ❤️
