Some people sure know how to ruin a good thing. 😞😥😡
This mama bear (and her husband) are fired up. Our 13-year-old son Ben started raising his own hens last year. He bought them, built them a home, feeds them, cares for them every single day. He collects the eggs, carefully packs them, sets up his roadside egg stand, and proudly sells them to the community.
In the last couple of days, five dozen eggs have been stolen.
Who steals from a hard-working 13-year-old kid trying to earn his own money on the farm? I get that times are tough for a lot of folks, but this one hurts. Maybe it was an honest mistake and a Venmo payment just didn’t go through? We’re hoping that’s the case.
Until we get a camera set up, the egg cooler won’t be out at the end of the driveway by the road anymore. Please reach out and we'll put eggs in a cooler by the buildings for you.
Ben already gets plenty of life lessons working hard every day on our farm. He didn’t need this one — learning that some people will take advantage of a kid’s honesty and hard work.
If you’ve bought eggs from Ben before, thank you so much for your honesty and support. You've made this boy beam with pride every dozen eggs he sell.
If you see this and it was you who took them without paying, please make it right.
Heartbroken but still proud of my boy. 💔🐔
