Zonta has been cancelled. See you at the Jackson County Blue Ribbon Fair beginning 10/19/2026

🌹 A DIFFICULT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ZONTA 🌹

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of the 49th Annual ZONTA Arts & Crafts Festival scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2026, due to the weather forecast and anticipated conditions.

Please know that this was not an easy decision.

Months of planning, preparation, volunteer hours, vendor work, sponsor support, and excitement have gone into this year’s festival. We wanted nothing more than to see the streets of downtown Pascagoula filled with our vendors and community this Saturday.

However, the safety of our vendors, volunteers, visitors, and community must come first.

As stated in the festival application and policies agreed to at registration, vendor fees are non-refundable if the festival must be canceled due to inclement weather. We understand how disappointing this is, and we truly appreciate the understanding of our vendors.

A little update from our family

A little over a year ago, I shared that I had developed some sudden medical issues that turned our lives upside down. At the time, I was seeing my neurologist and GP, and we were hopeful this would be a temporary bump in the road.

Unfortunately, the past year has looked a little different than we hoped.

We do finally have a name for my condition: dysautonomia.

I’ve continued to experience episodes of fainting, problems with my heart rate and blood flow when I’m upright, extreme heat intolerance, fatigue, brain fog, and days when even normal, everyday activities feel overwhelming. I’ve gone through countless appointments, tests, procedures, medications, and IV infusions. We’ve received some answers along the way, but we’re still working with my doctors and specialists to understand this very complicated condition.

My cardiologist calls me his “unicorn” because I’m one of only three patients in his entire practice who hasn’t responded to the usual treatment protocols. While dysautonomia has no cure, its symptoms can be managed, and we’re continuing to work toward finding the right treatment plan for me.

I’m learning what my body can and can’t handle, what helps, and—probably the hardest lessons for me—that sometimes I have to stop before I’m ready to stop, to ask for help or to simply say no. For someone who was accustomed to having about 37 things going at once…that has been a HUGE adjustment!

My husband, Travis, and our kids, Claire, Rainey, Vivian and Noah, have taken on an incredible amount to keep our family, farm, and business going. We’ve also been blessed with help from friends and our community. Because of them, Dunsfield Heidrun Farm is still here.

And we’re finally planning to venture back out—as I’m able!

We plan to attend Zonta and Jackson County Fair in October, as well as Gingham Tree and Merry Market in November. We may try for other markets but will have to play it by ear.

Things may look a little different. You might see me sitting behind our booth instead of standing and talking all day. My husband or one of the kids may be the one helping you. I may disappear for a break, have to leave early, or occasionally not be there at all. We may not bring quite as much as we once did, and there may be things we simply have to say “not this time.”

That’s something our family is learning together: Different doesn’t mean done.
We’re figuring out how to keep doing the things we love while also accepting that my health has changed what I’m capable of doing right now.

So, if you see us this fall, please stop by and say hello! I’ve missed our customers, our market friends, and being part of the community more than I can say.

And to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, sent messages, placed orders, shopped with us, helped our family, or simply continued supporting us while we’ve been a little quieter—thank you.

Your prayers, patience, well wishes, and continued support have meant the world to all of us.

Today, our daughter’s goat was attacked and killed by roaming dog.

To some, it may have been “just a goat.” To her, it was the baby she chose, paid for with her own money, bottle-feed, cared for every day, trained, and loved. She invested months of hard work, patience, and her heart into that animal, only to lose it in a matter of minutes.

We want to be clear that this post is not meant to bash or shame the dog owner. The dog owner has taken responsibility and made things right with our daughter, and we truly appreciate that. However, the emotional distress and heartbreak she experienced cannot be replaced or undone.

As livestock owners, we take our responsibility seriously. We spend countless hours maintaining our fences, checking them regularly, and keeping our barns and pens in excellent condition to protect our animals. We simply ask that pet owners do the same.

Raising livestock is a major investment of both time and money. Families spend thousands on feed, hay, veterinary care, equipment, entry fees, and travel. For many children, these animals also represent future auction income, breeding potential, scholarships, college or car fund, their future farms, and the opportunity to help pay for next year’s project. When a roaming dog attacks livestock, all of that can be lost in an instant.

Even dogs that have never been aggressive may instinctively chase livestock, causing devastating injuries or death.

Please be a responsible pet owner. Keep your dogs safely contained. Protect your neighbors, their livestock, and the children who have poured their hearts into raising these animals.

No child should lose the animal they worked so hard to raise because someone else’s dogs were allowed to roam. Please feel free to share this to help spread awareness.

Regards,

Welcome Wednesday! 🐐

Located in Moss Point, Mississippi, every product is made using fresh goat milk from their own herd and thoughtfully crafted with quality ingredients.

What makes Dunsfield Heidrun Farm especially unique is its commitment to family involvement and agricultural education. From caring for their animals to creating products by hand, every step reflects the dedication, integrity, and hard work that define Mississippi agriculture.

We look forward to continuing to share their story with Mississippians across the state!

National Police Week hits a little closer to home for us. 💙🇺🇸

The Goat Deddy has served in law enforcement since 2005, and over the years we’ve seen firsthand the sacrifices that come with the badge — the long hours, missed holidays, late-night calls, and the weight officers carry every single day.

This week, we honor and thank all law enforcement officers and their families for their service, dedication, and sacrifice. We are especially grateful for those who continue to show up for their communities no matter the circumstances.

Please join us in praying for the safety of all officers and remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
