All day I wanted to take a picture and took almost zero! I had this one moment today where I took a couple pictures. These pics somehow sums up the day. How does one pic sum up a day you might ask…COMMUNITY.
These 2 farms came down to support the Meishan breed, support my farm, and support their own farms.
I hope we represented the Meishan community well and I hope we each represented our farms and how we can all work together to help one another. In addition to that we had some wonderful special guests that I was so happy to see & finally meet face to face. Thank you for taking the time to stop by my booth, it truly means a great deal to me. I was busy today. The booth was busy today, but I saw every single face even if I didn’t get to chat or chat long. To know you came to say hello or support our farm and our mission lets me know once again, that I’m a part of the best community there is.
I’m excited to welcome some to my farm to show how we do things and why we’re proud of our operation, even if it is a hot mess of chaos. I’m excited to refer some of you, not because I don’t want to work with you, but because I know others can be more local to you and be a better part of your community. I’m excited to offer some of you our farm for your table to serve your family & friends.
We’re a community building a better place for us all to thrive in with a farm/homestead/ranch/hobby farm we can all stand behind and I’m humbled to be a part of it.
Thank you Twin Willow Homestead for coming from Pennsylvania to support this amazing event and represent your farm, the Meishan breed, and be there to help us tremendously. Thank you Firefly Homestead for driving all the way from Ohio to show up for the breed, your farm and our farm. I’ve been able to lean on you two farms today and have you speak your knowledge, experience, and passion to everyone that stopped by. I’ve been able to know that we’ve got the support to make our farms thrive, the Meishan breed thrive, and our individual areas of focus thrive.
This has been a wonderful day and we look forward to yet another day at the Homesteaders Of America Community.
Ruthannzimm who I’ve been following on IG for a while now was more of a star struck moment than when I would see Hollywood elites when living in Vegas.
