🤍A New Chapter 🤍
🤍Please read🤍
I’ve been putting off writing this because, honestly, this one is hard.
After a lot of prayer, thought, and trusting God’s direction, I’ve made the decision to permanently close Jesus Sweets & Treats farm stand.
When I started this little business, I had no idea just how much it would mean to me. I knew I loved baking, but I don’t think I realized how much joy I would find in creating something with my own two hands and putting it out into the world for other people to enjoy.
There was something so special about watching this little dream come to life.
I loved the early mornings, the mess in the kitchen, trying new recipes, filling the stand, and seeing the things I had baked sitting there waiting for someone to take them home. I loved the excitement of wondering who might stop by that day. I loved knowing that something I made could bring a little happiness to someone else.
But as much as I have loved this, I also have to be honest about the reality of running a business.
It simply isn’t making a profit.
There have been many days where I’ve spent money on ingredients, supplies, packaging, and countless hours baking, only to find that the sales were only enough to break even or in some weekends lose money. As much as I wish I could continue doing it simply because I love it, continuing to operate while losing money isn’t something I can continue to do.
And that hurts.
Because closing something you poured your heart into can feel a lot like admitting that you failed.
But I’ve been reminding myself that ending a season does not mean the season was a failure.
When I started the farm stand, I truly felt that God was leading me into it, and I also knew that it would only be for a season. I just didn’t know what that season would look like or how it would end.
Now, looking back, I can see so many ways that God used it.
He gave me joy.
He gave me confidence.
He gave me new skills.
He gave me opportunities to meet people.
He gave me memories I will carry with me.
And most importantly, He reminded me that sometimes taking a leap of faith is worth it—even when you don’t know where you’ll land.
I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.
So even though there is sadness in closing this chapter, there is also an incredible amount of gratitude in my heart.
I’m grateful that God allowed me to experience this. I’m grateful for every person who ever stopped at the stand, bought something, shared a post, encouraged me, or simply told me they were proud of what I was doing.
You may have thought it was just a purchase, a kind comment, or a quick stop at a little farm stand.
But to me, it meant so much more. 🤍
And this isn’t goodbye to this page.
Instead, I’m excited to give it a new purpose.
I plan to turn this page into more of a cooking and baking series, where I can continue sharing the recipes I love, the things I’m learning, the meals I’m making, the baking projects I’m trying, and all the behind-the-scenes moments that come with creating food in my kitchen.
And I’ll still be sharing our garden updates, growing projects, homesteading adventures, and everything else happening around our home. 🌱🥖🍪
The difference is that now, I get to bake simply because I love it—without the pressure of needing to sell it.
Maybe this isn’t the ending I imagined when I first started.
But I believe God has something new ahead.
Sometimes we hold onto things because we’re afraid that letting go means we’re giving up. But sometimes, letting go is exactly what God asks us to do so He can lead us somewhere new.
So I’m closing this chapter with a grateful heart—not a defeated one.
Thank you, Jesus Sweets & Treats, for everything you taught me, everything you gave me, and all the memories you brought into my life.
This chapter is over, but the story isn’t.
I can’t wait to see what God writes next. 🤍
“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31
With this being said, today is the last day the farmstand will be open so come by and get some treats 🤍
And again thank you so much to literally EVERYONE who supported this stand🤍
