✨️Worthy read ✨️ Haven't said anything to my chicken and eggs clients on my page up until this point so this may come as a shock.
Note: I AM NOT QUITTING HOMESTEADING. I will raise organic and NONGMO poultry/eggs again in the future, but not at that location.Yall will get to see the true rebuild of a farm from my own perspective ❤️ and I WILL OFFER processing classes
Dm me privately for info.
END OF AN ERA. I have waited to do this but I feel now is the time to speak on what has happened in the past two months. For those of you whom don't know, I left in the night suddenly and secretly about two months ago from Williams Creek Farm. I was known as being the "egg girl" or chicken farmer. That was my passion and my calling. Due to domestic violence and issues within the home I left to protect myself with assistance. Williams Creek will be rebranded as my own journey to document my future homesteading endeavors. As for Williams Creek and my former family. I love yall. I really do. And I tried, I tried my hardest and absolute best to make yall proud. What I would not give to hear you say that just once.
Those of you who know me well know I dedicated my everything to those animals and that farm, that was my life, my passion and my calling. Still is, but not there.
I built that up from nothing. As a homeschooler with a dream.
And my biggest critics and haters were people I tried my hardest to impress.
It broke my heart to leave the animals, I apologize to the egg clients who weren't aware and went to get eggs after I left. It won't be me who you're dealing with, and my old number is now used by my parents to try to contact my old clients. I'm no contact with them but felt this needed to be said so the air is cleared on what actually happened. Contrary to rumors being spread, I left of my own accord and it was not a hasty decision.
I am the one who handled everything on the farm, on social media, tracking clients pickups and the care of the animals themselves and had help from a younger sibling. It is crazy that they have the audacity to say otherwise but whatever they have to say so they can sleep at night, I guess.
Ironically they also sold half the chickens too after I left but you know, a coincidence.
I haven't said anything up to this point because I was giving grace but after having customers contacting me of what is being said I will not allow my reputation to be bashed by the very people who once benefited from it.
I wish my parents nothing but the best and that they change their hearts one day. I'm sorry I wasn't what yall wanted in a daughter, even though you're not my blood parents I loved you all the same.
As NF would say,
I wish that I could say I'm proud, I'm sorry that I let you down
Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointment
Doing everything I can, I don't wanna make you disappointed
It's annoying. I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did, was never tryna make an issue for you....
Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you
Very loyal? Shoulda had my back but you put a knife in it
My hands are full, what else should I carry for you?
I cared for you, but... you don't wanna make this work
You just wanna make this worse
Want me to listen to you
But you don't ever hear my words
You don't wanna know my hurt, yet
Let me guess
You want an apology, probably
How can we keep going at a rate like this?
We can't, so I guess I'ma have to leave
What else can I offer you?
There's nothing left right now, I gave it all to you.
God has a bigger plan and purpose beyond what you thought I was capable of and in HIS WILL ALL THINGS are possible. I did my best and now it's time for me to become who He has called me to be and not who you thought I should have been.
Love yall and I'm sorry my best wasn't good enough.
To everyone that has supported me and carried me through it I appreciate all of you so so much. After my departure from Williams Creek yall have been so understanding and shown me such support and kindness I could honestly hug every one of you 😭❤️ To my egg and chicken clients who have boycotted my parents to support me through my leaving, I am so so grateful and thankful to you all, some of you have offered transportation to and from Baldwin County for my grooming clients rabbits and a lot of you are willing to now drive longer distances for my services and I'm so so so grateful and honored 🥺❤️
To my hat people, thank you SO MUCH for trusting me to bring your inspiration to life in the form of wearable art. I will start loading reels again with new content and with that being said, an announcement!
Williams Creek Farm's page will be RENAMED
It will now be known as Burn and Bloom
To document my future journey and past experiences related to my art, as well as my homesteading knowledge. The "Burn" part represents my art form handling fire and the burn of the past and present that is refining and trying me through the fires of life to be made stronger.
The "Bloom" part represents the regrowth and reborn aspect of my journey now to bloom into whom I'm called to be.
A wise lady once told me
And when iron is being sharpened, what do you see?
Sparks, why?
Because pieces of the iron are being broken off and what's left there is being polished thin.
And what does it feel like? HOT. So hot it will burn you if you touch it.
But as the process goes on, the iron becomes refined and usable. Because how effective is a dull saw blade? Not effective.
But as it goes through that process of being broken and heated, it becomes a tool that can be used.
That's what God does with us. That's what we are to do to each other, sharpen each other and help each other become usable. To become our fullest potential ❤️
I am so beyond grateful to all of you. You truly have no idea.
You have watched me grow from nothing and then leave everything, only to start again. Thank you all so much for your continued support
It means more to me than you'll ever know
And to those that know they know ❤️❤️ love yall
I've been truly so blessed to have such amazing people put into my life and I'm beyond grateful 🥹 thank you
Sincerely,
