My heart has been filled with gratitude this week, and I wanted to say thank you while sharing with you one story of what happens when you support a small business.

Over the last couple of months, I have able to buy a load of firewood to keep my family warm through the winter, support families who have been affected by Hurricane Helene, give to kids' fundraisers, and save enough money to buy Christmas gifts for my own kids. That’s a really big deal to me.

And you know what makes it even better? Almost every way that money has been spent is going straight back into our local economy. That firewood? The man who I paid will be able to use the money he earned to support his own family. The Christmas gifts I buy will come from other small businesses as much as possible because I know the value of supporting them. Then those families will be able to pay their own bills or buy their own Christmas gifts. It’s a beautiful, life giving circle.

I hope that you find great value in the goodies you buy from my little farm stand and in the classes that you attend in my home. But I also want you to see where your money is going. It's making a difference- for my family AND for others in our community. Did you know that just within my little farm stand, you are supporting seven other local families who have their products inside?

I think it’s just wonderful! And I just wanted to take a second to show you how your support is making a difference in families in your neighborhood!

Thank you, friends.
