🍂Ooohh October - you’re right where you’re supposed to be ✨

I have finally had the chance to go through the items I have from the shop - there are limited things and mainly packaging that may be helpful for another space or individual who’s baking the world a better place 😉😉😉

I’ll be posting those items shortly with pricing - please contact me directly via DM and we will sort out pick up or drop off.

Thanks everyone who was asking, for their patience- I need these items gone, so please, if there’s any interest - let’s chat.

Happy Fall y’all 🍂✨

Hello friends 👋

Long time no chat! We may be closed - but that doesn’t stop this gal from being apart of the community!

As some of you may know, I’m a an active participant with our and I’m part of the small but mighty group that has kicked up some local events this year.

We’re planning our first “Home for the Holidays” December event and had to make a couple changes.

I’d love to hear from anyone who would be interested or know of a great contact to connect with, regarding horse drawn wagon/sleigh rides or tractor rides. Availability would need to be 6-8ish pm on Sat Dec 7th in Mount Forest. If anyone has some good connections, please send me a message or email: [email protected]

We can’t wait to see you out this year for all the fun & holiday cheer 🐴 🎄 ✨

Well you know what they say…all good things must come to an end. And it’s a bittersweet time for me over here - literally and figuratively.

This ride has been nothing short of a learning opportunity and a chance to grow as a person. This shop, was my dream. The dream that was held in my heart and soul and fire in my belly for so many years. It stayed locked in there for so long until one day I chose to bet on myself and give it a whirl. I went for it. And I wouldn’t take any of that back. When I told close friends and family of this dream “likely coming to an end”… because to be completely honest, it’s been a very rough road for so many business owners, including myself over the last 2.5 years-but when I told them, every single one of them asked me “but you’ll be happier right? You’re going to be relieved right?” And they’re right. This does not come as an easy decision - but one that definitely brings a sense of happiness and relief. Which, it’s funny how life goes because when I started I was on fire for this life. I was so happy and relieved to be living out my actual dream. Life changes, the world changes.. and I’m ok to change right along with it. Sometimes, those changes mean things look so much different. But they feel very different too.

This dream of mine started to feel very hopeless and scary… which I know might be confusing for some who only see us on the internet. When passion runs out-it creates a whole other challenge. When the economy and everything else we could blame for things not working out keep hitting you-you start figuring out how to step out of the way.

Which lands us here. With a girl and her dreams and realizing it’s time to walk away. How fortunate I have been to have the chance and the persistence, the belief in myself that I could achieve it. But also, not without all of you though. There’s zero way any amount of achieving could have been done without all of you. Thank you to every single one of you who took part in the journey with me.

I hope you find the courage to chase your dreams.. even if at some point they change.

We are now permanently closed. But please, find a way to make your life sweet - it’s worth it.
