Always happy to talk about local businesses. Today myself and our oldest ran into Hanna City for a quick stop at DG.

Couldn’t be in HC without a pit stop to Black Sheep Coffee Mobile, their drinks never disappoint! It was our first time actually in their brick and mortar and it is super cute and chill. I love that they have books for you to borrow.
(Sorry didn’t take in pictures)

As we were leaving we notice a new shop open across the street Oakie Lane. If you have not stopped in yet, please do. So cute and the owner was super sweet! Love her antiques, many neat items you don’t see at the other stores. Pictures below.

This little local homestead business does it again! Not only do they provide some gorgeous fresh long lasting bouquets, they are super affordable!

But let’s now talk about the fall bouquets! Wow and at those prices how can you pass them up?!?

🎃 💔 Important Update from the Farm 💔🌾

Unfortunately, we will not be opening this year.

It has been a tough season for us here on the farm. Between challenging weather, my husband’s busy work schedule, and ongoing construction in the field area, our crops just didn’t produce as they normally would. We only managed one hay rack this year, when we usually see 4–5.

We’re deeply saddened by this, but we’re already looking ahead and planning for next year. Our hope is to come back bigger, better, and stronger!

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding — it truly means the world to our family. 💛
