Something exciting is headed to Shaded Shells... πŸ‘€πŸ£

Let's just say our flock is about to get a little more colorful... and a whole lot rarer.

We've been keeping a secret, and we can't wait to introduce these beautiful new additions. Any guesses what breed is joining the farm?

Drop your guess below! πŸ‘‡

So we have decided not to verify our identity with Facebook. Therefore we are not allowed to post in any group or comment on any group post.
We hate to lose touch with so much of our base, but all we feel getting locked out of our account is far worse.

So is this yo help with all the spam accounts and scams running wild?

Or is this another way for fb to lock us out of pur accounts πŸ€”

Anyone successfully confirmed their identity or is just everyone just get locked out of their account 😬

Up at daylight,  racing the rain. Definitely making progress..

Productivity... here I come.

Well... more like productivity, here I crawl. 🫠

Yes, I'm crawling... and I'm about one inconvenience away from a full-blown 2-year-old temper tantrum who desperately needs juice, snacks, and a nap. πŸ˜…

But the schedule demands I at least show up.

This weekend we're clearing land and making room for all our dreams.

And Richard is fully aware he may have to carry both the equipment... and both of our motivations. 🀣

Mama is tired. 😫

But dreams don't build themselves. πŸ’šπŸŒ±

Today's To-Do List: βœ”οΈ

β˜‘οΈ Order business checks
β˜‘οΈ Work on NC Ag paperwork
β˜‘οΈ Laundry
What was NOT on the list:

🐐 Buy three goats.
Guess which item actually got accomplished...

Yep.

Three goats.

I swear this farm has a way of rewriting my to-do list when I'm not looking. πŸ˜‚
Meet the newest members of Shaded Shells and our official Landscaping Department! 🌿🐐

On the bright side... I still have dirty laundry, no business checks, and paperwork waiting for me.
But I have goats.

Priorities... apparently. πŸ€£πŸ’š

Ever had one of those conversations where, by the time you hung up, you had repeated your name and phone number so many times you honestly couldn't remember either one?

I just had one of those.

By the end of the call, I was half convinced I'd been given a new identity and forgotten my own phone number. 🀣

Quite frankly, it was one of the most painfully confusing conversations I've ever had.

Announcement Time! πŸ“

Once this last round of birds finds new coops, Shaded Shells will be taking a much-needed break from public sales.

First, to the customers who have been amazing this year...

Thank you. ❀️

You showed up when you said you would, communicated, respected our time, and made doing business enjoyable. We appreciate you more than you know.

Now... to the rest of y'all... πŸ‘€

This year has been one for the record books. We've dealt with more ghosting, last-minute cancellations, excuses, and "the rules don't apply to me" than we ever imagined.

Let's just say... some of y'all gave us enough material to write a book. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

So we're stepping back from public sales for a bit.

Not because we're quitting.

Because we're building.

Our attention is turning toward securing grants, expanding the farm, improving our breeding program, and laying the foundation for our parent company, Shaded Creek Farms.

We're incredibly excited for what's coming next, and we can't wait to share that journey with all of you.

We'll see y'all next year...

Well... most of y'all. πŸ˜‚πŸ”

Dear Chaos,

We've had enough.

Respectfully... go bother someone else for a week.

We've checked all the boxes:
βœ”οΈ Equipment drama.
βœ”οΈ Bird drama.
βœ”οΈ Family drama.
βœ”οΈ Financial drama.
βœ”οΈ "What fresh hell is this?" drama.

At this point, if you could just let us collect eggs, feed chickens, drink our coffee while it's still hot, and make it through one week without adding another chapter to the autobiography, we'd be grateful.

We're not asking for perfect.

Just... boring.

Sincerely,

A farmer who's starting to get suspicious every time the day begins quietly. πŸ˜‚πŸ”

P.S. If you ignore this request, at least have the decency to spread the disasters out a little. Three before lunch feels excessive.
