Sometimes, being a small business owner is just plain frustrating.
I try my absolute hardest to keep our farm store stocked and make sure everyone who walks through our doors finds what they’re looking for. But the reality is, we raise the animals that provide the meat we sell. We aren’t ordering from a warehouse or calling a distributor when we run low.
As our demand continues to grow, finding that balance between raising enough livestock, keeping our freezers stocked, and meeting everyone’s needs has become increasingly difficult. It’s a GOOD problem to have, and I’m beyond thankful for the support, but it doesn’t make it any less challenging.
I’ve tried my hardest to be transparent about our meat availability. I regularly post when we’re running low, when we’re sold out, and when our next restock is expected. I never want someone to waste their time driving out here only to leave empty-handed.
But here’s the thing. Pick up the phone and call me! I’ll happily tell you exactly what we have available, when we’re expecting more, and I’ll even personally call you when what you’re looking for is back in stock.
We are a small, family-owned farm. We’re raising livestock, caring for animals, running a store, attending markets, making deliveries, and doing our best to keep up with a growing customer base. We are human, and we aren’t always going to get everything perfect.
It’s disheartening to work so hard building something from the ground up, only to have someone publicly bash your business over something you’ve tried so hard to communicate.
I completely understand being disappointed when something isn’t available, especially after making a drive. But before leaving a negative review that can hurt a small business, please give us the opportunity to have a conversation and make things right.
Behind this business is a real family working long days, making sacrifices, and putting everything we have into providing quality, locally raised food for our community.
To everyone who continues to support us, shows patience when we’re sold out, and understands what it means to buy directly from a farmer, THANK YOU. You have no idea how much it means.
We’re growing, we’re learning, and we’re doing our absolute best. I just ask for a little grace along the way.
Supporting local agriculture also means understanding that farming doesn’t operate on a grocery store’s schedule.
