I cannot believe yet another year has passed and as I sit here on New Year's Day and think back on all that 2024 has held. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined in my late teens that I would be living in America, let alone living in a rural community on a hobby farm raising goats! Yet, as I sit here looking out on the farm and type this note to you all, I cannot help but be very grateful. Don't get me wrong it isn't always rosy here on the farm. In fact, while most people are out enjoying the warmup here in WNY, we as a family have pitch forks in hand, oversized tarps and sleds, as we head over to the barn to make the most of the warm-up and clean out enclosures. Keeping our goats and other animals in optimal health is our main priority, for without them, we would not be where we are today.
This past year has definitely held its ups and downs for us as a family. Life on a farm and with children definitely has a way of throwing you curve balls, and well this past year has been no exception. Navigating our way through homeschooling, farm life, a family-owned business, and two older children branching out on their own has definitely kept us on our toes.
The farm and particularly the goats have kept us busy and as we close out the 2024 season and are in the midst of breeding season, we look forward to all that 2025 will bring, as we eagerly await baby goats in the spring.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for a very successful 2024 for our family business. We continue to enjoy being able to provide several local businesses with our moisturizing goat milk soaps and lotions and are always extremely grateful to be a part of a great farmers' market community. Twenty-twenty-four saw us attend several larger events and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the beautiful venues that we were able to set-up at. Our online presence continues to grow as more people enjoy the ease with which our website enables them to order and receive products right from the comfort of their own homes.
Thank you again and we wish you a very Happy New Year. (Don't forget if you would like to enjoy our winter fragrances through the next couple of months, you will need to order quick as we now have limited stock available.)
Regards
Annabel
