Reflections and Directions







Well, it is a New Year...you can count on that. Reflections of last year are a little fuzzy as we put that year behind us and move onto the hopes of this year. Last year was a great year, don't get me wrong. Talk about a learning experience! But, this year it needs to be a little different as we are a military family and things will change next year as sea duty looms on the horizon. This year we need to seize the moment and here is a list of things we are hoping for:
- Time as a family
- Weekend getaways in the mountains
- A long-due trip to Idaho and Montana to visit family and show our kids new things
- Getting our household finances in order
- Travis trying out that new muzzle loader and getting to do all of the hunting he desires to do (I guess that leaves me looking forward to becoming a hunting widow???)

So, we are setting out to achieve these "hopes" in this new year. Here are some things that will be different at Red Barn Farm in order to achieve these things:
- We will focus on the health and happiness of our family!!!
- We will not be vending at Farmer's Markets, with the exception of "maybe this fall".
- We might have some produce available for our family and friends to purchase, but our first goal is to sustain our family with what we grow.
- We will leave a little more time to promote/teach/learn about ag in our county.
- we will devote some of our crops for the local foodbank.

I want to thank our customers for last year and allowing us to serve you! You can still catch us at some of the Farmer's Markets hanging around the Pheasant Fields Farm cart.

oh...one more thing!
