It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of April’s passing last Monday, April 13, after a long and courageous battle.
April came into our lives in 2012 as a weekly regular in the Farm Store. Who knew that by the time we said goodbye 14 years later, she would be family.
After many years of supporting the farm as a customer, she started volunteering to help with animal chores on the weekends. She fell in love with the farm and our animals, and we fell in love with her contagious optimism, unwavering loyalty, and beautiful example of how to live life to the fullest.
Thankfully, there are countless pictures and videos of her time on the farm, many of which she took herself during sunrise and sunset chores. She was incredibly supportive of the work we do here and deeply believed it is the future of American agriculture.
There is too much to say about April for this simple newsletter to do her justice, and her passing is still too recent for us to fully overcome the grief we all feel and write a long story of her time with us. Instead, our team and family have written notes to her in hopes of expressing our sincere gratitude for the time we shared and the profound loss we feel in her absence.
We will share those notes with you today, and we have also created a dedicated page on our website that will serve as a continuing memorial, with notes, pictures, and videos that will be added for years to come. I also invite you to reply to this email with a note to April, or to our team, that we can post to the memorial page.
