Good morning everyone!!
I just wanted to update yall about the stand opening here in Texas.
The plan to open a while back didn't work out for a few reasons. 1. because the tall skinny cabinets kept getting blown over everytime we had a strong wind come through. Then, we had something taking out 1-3 of our hens every day so we had to stop free ranging them while we set traps. With them not getting out, they all decided to go broody and hatch eggs. We currently have about 30 chicks right now with almost 40 more set to hatch in the next week and almost 30 more set to hatch in the next 2 weeks. Because of all of these broody mommas, we aren't getting a ton of eggs to keep the farmstand stocked. Next year, we'll have enough eggs to keep the farmstand stocked plus use only fresh eggs in all the baked goods. Now to top it all off, they just announced there will be construction on our road (yes our new road is getting worked on now π€¦ββοΈ we can't escape the road construction no matter where we go) that starts in less than 2 weeks and will happen just past the end of our property. This could potentially block our access at times and is supposed to last about 3 months.
Also, our house in Haughton is under contract which means we will soon start renovating our new house which could take a few months. So I think its safe to say the farmstand won't open until the beginning of next year. Maybe during this time we will be able to make the structure a more enclosed space rather than just the cabinets out there. Im really excited to bring this vision to life here and know that it will be worth the wait π₯° I just hope when the time comes, yall will still be excited.
