There will be no baked goods in the farm stand this week due to the passing of Steeleās grandmother (Geneās sister). We know that she is with Jesus now, but we will still miss her deeply. We wouldnāt be where we are today without her.
Anyone that knew her knows that she was the proudest grandma ever. We hope that every day we can make God and the family members that came before us proud. š§”
