🌿🐓 A Little PSA from Maple Hollow Farm 🍞🌻
I wanted to take a moment to share something from the heart. ❤️
Maple Hollow Farm is, and always will be, my hobby farm. It’s a place where I get to enjoy some of the things I love most—raising chickens, growing vegetables, tending to the garden, and spending time in the kitchen creating sourdough bread and homemade goodies to share with our community at the farmers market. 🐔🥚🌱🍅🍞
While I absolutely love every minute I spend on the farm, it is not my full-time career. My profession and passion is being a Continuing Care Assistant (CCA). Caring for seniors, building meaningful relationships, providing comfort, dignity, and support to those who need it most is truly where my heart belongs. ❤️👵👴
Healthcare is more than a job to me—it’s a calling. Being able to make a difference in someone’s day, listen to their stories, and care for them as if they were my own family is something I am incredibly grateful for. 🩺💙
I think it’s important to remember that you can have enjoyable hobbies and still absolutely love your career. One does not take away from the other. In fact, I believe the things we are passionate about outside of work help make us better at what we do every day. 🌿✨
In many ways, both healthcare and farming have something in common. They allow me to nurture, care for, and give back to others. Whether I’m caring for residents, collecting fresh eggs, growing vegetables, or baking a loaf of sourdough, I find joy in creating something meaningful and sharing it with others. 🌾🥚🍞
So when you see Maple Hollow Farm, know that you’re seeing a small piece of what I love to do outside of work—a hobby that brings me happiness, peace, and a chance to connect with my community. ☀️🌻
I am incredibly proud to be a CCA, and I am equally grateful for this little hobby farm that allows me to express my creativity and share homemade products with others. One is my career, and one is my hobby—and I love them both. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who has supported this little dream of mine. Your encouragement means more than you know.
