A message from our farmer:
"These are uncertain and challenging times for many of us right now, and for some of us the future only holds even greater uncertainty and challenge.
While there's not much that myself and our ranch can currently do about the future, there are some things that we can and intend to do about the present.
Firstly, for those of us #StillFarming :
There are many small-scale farmers like myself that are struggling in the wake of restaurants grinding to a halt, markets closing, and our operations changing to do what we can and should to keep our communities safe.
If you know of any farmers who could use another venue to move their goods, our farm stand is open for business this Saturday into the foreseeable future, and once we work out some kinks and get off the ground all we need is a price list and a sales pitch and we'll find room at the table for you. We're not looking for a mark-up or percentages, we just want to do our part to keep our neighbors farming. Give us a call.
Secondly, if you know someone who may go without:
Many of us are currently working with food banks to do as much as we can to both avoid waste and help our communities. While we do our part and donate regularly, the food banks are handling a lot right now, and we want to meet our neighbors' needs right here where they are.
We're still working out the best way to do that, and while we've got some good ideas we're sure you do too. Please reach out to us if you've got a group or an organization that can benefit from what we are able to give.
In either case, give me a call at (602) 463-8469 or send me an email at rtsjjbr@gmail.com.
And from our ranch family to yours: stay safe, stay healthy, and stay strong."
