Our family was talking and we decided we probably should give an update on the farmer (Rod). We know that during the Christmas 2024 season, he let several customers know that he was diagnosed earlier that year, with Acute Onset Leukemia. We had fewer customers this past Christmas season, and we're thinking it's because maybe some assumed the farmer had passed. But, we are happy to say that he is still with us, and in remission (knock on wood.)
He did injure himself this Christmas season, and we want to apologize to any customers that came and could not find the farmer to help them with a tree or a wreath. He had several doctors appointments and trips to urgency care to try and figure out some pain in his leg. He found out that he tore his thigh muscle, and he was having a really tough time getting around. We are also happy to say that he is healing from that and he is now awaiting to have shoulder surgery, hopefully next month.
It's tough getting old and we are thankful for every day that we have! We are also very thankful for all of our loyal and caring customers!
