2021 Be the Change

I have not blogged in months... mostly, because I am opinionated and it may not always need to be said the way it comes out. I am loving our business and am beyond proud of where the business is going, evolving, and changing how people buy local meat! Honestly, if it was not for the pandemic I would have not moved forward in this direction due to fear and time constraints. I do not agree with the politics around the pandemic or how so much of this pandemic has played out, but in order to move forward and not look back it is time to see the positive! Our positive is this business and how much it has reminded us about the importance of family, agriculture, ranching/ farming education, and giving back to our community. So whether you think the Covid pandemic is good, bad, fake, indifferent, etc. try to find any good that has come of it! Dwelling on the negative will bread more negative energy and life is too short for that! Trust me I spent many nights in Facebook arguments, I've lost friends, and just simply questioned the world... that did not insight positive change or make me a better person. Find what you love to do, focus on what song makes you want to dance, what group of family or friends makes you laugh, and how you want to make a change for the better. For me I love my kids, my hobby farm critters, and my friends that make me laugh until I cry. I love that Farmstead Meats lets me meet new people, raise quality meat for consumers, and see the smiles on the faces of so many!!! What makes you happy? Do you have a big new adventure you are afraid to launch? 2020 was half empty make 2021 a full glass AGAIN!!!
