🌿 THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY 🌿

Here’s something to ponder today…

What if a successful life isn’t about how much you accomplish, but how well you tend to the things that matter?

The garden doesn’t grow faster because we worry about it. The chickens don’t lay more eggs because we’re having a bad day. And sometimes, the most important thing we can do is simply keep showing up and caring for what we’ve been given.

Maybe we’re too busy measuring our lives by what we haven’t done, what we haven’t earned, or how far we still have to go.

Meanwhile, there’s good happening right under our noses. A meal on the table. Someone who needs us. A seed taking root. A hard day survived.

Maybe that’s worth a little more credit than we give it.

🐓🌱 So here’s today’s question:

What is something in your life that you might be overlooking because you’re too busy worrying about what comes next?

We’d love to hear your thoughts. ❤️

🐐💜 A BIG DAY FOR THE BABIES AT RAVEN’S ROOST COTTAGE! 💜🐐

Hella and Odin had a big outing today — a trip to the vet for their booster shots! 💉❤️

Being a farm mama isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it’s cuddles and cute baby goats, and sometimes it’s vet visits, vaccinations, and making sure our little ones grow up healthy and strong. 🥰

We’re doing our best to give every member of our little farm family the care they deserve, one day at a time. 🌿

Give Hella and Odin a little extra love in the comments! Have you ever had a baby goat steal your heart? Because these two sure have ours! 🐐💕

From our little cottage to your home, thank you for being part of our journey!

💜 A VERY BIG THANK YOU FROM RAVEN’S ROOST COTTAGE 💜

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

From the absolute bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see us at the Falling Leaves Festival this weekend. 🥹💜

Every person who stopped at our table, picked up a jar, asked questions, told us how much they loved our products, shared a kind word, or simply took the time to say hello… you mattered to us.

Raven’s Roost Cottage is still a little dream that we are building one egg, one jar, one market, and one festival at a time. And sometimes it’s scary to put your heart—and your hard work—out there and wonder if anyone will care.

You cared. ❤️

You showed us that what we’re creating is worth continuing.

You welcomed our new flavors, Harvest Garlic and Hot AF, you supported our little cottage business, and you helped make this weekend one we will remember for a very long time.

And to everyone who has supported us from the very beginning…

WE SEE YOU.
WE APPRECIATE YOU.
WE ARE SO, SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU.

🐔💜 From our little flock to your family — THANK YOU. 💜🐔

With love,
Sally & Bryan
🌿 Raven’s Roost Cottage 🌿

And of course… Poe and Chicken say THANK YOU, TOO. 🐔💜
