We have had many inquiries as to why we are rehoming our livestock. I thought it easier to just share here instead of answering individual messages…
My husband is nearing retirement. When we moved here and purchased this property in 2015, having animals was my dream, I am the fiber artist and entrepreneur that wanted her own business. My husband supported 110% - not just financially, but through blood, sweat, and tears of building all the infrastructure, fencing, barns, shelters, etc. He helps with feeding and loves each of the animals, wanting the best life for them as well. He has taken on the hardest role of all and dispatched animals when needed. I could not ask for a better partner or farmhand! He named the farm, aptly, Happy Wife Farm. But we are approaching a new season in our life where we want to spend more time traveling, visiting family that we haven’t been able to spend much time with, and just having time to enjoy each other’s company again doing things we love like kayaking and bike riding.
We aren’t moving. But we are closing the farm as a business and letting all of the animals go that keep us tethered here. We plan to go from farm to homestead status… keeping a handful of chickens and our honeybees. I’ll continue to grow my herbs, flowers, and fruit. We didn’t come to this decision without prayer. I’m not rushing to sell everyone, but waiting for the good Lord to place the perfect people in my path so that I can have peace in letting them go.
Thank you to the many people that have reached out to check on me - we are ok! I’m sad to say goodbye to my sweet animals, but I am excited about the next season with my husband. ❤️
