It's a New Year - The Happenings

February 27, 2023
Wow, it's been a minute since our last email to you. A lot has happened!
1) Kevin & Laura celebrated Christmass and the New Year with family. Nice break and opportunity to plan out this year.
2) Up to this point, we've been on leased land. It's time for us to find new property.😒🤔😅😥
3) We've ordered in this year's batch of chicken (800x for April 2023 fulfillment).
4) One of our close friends and fellow producers is preparing to move. We have the opportunity to buy his pastured pork operation and provide you with the pork that is only suitable for our conscious neighbors. Preorder to help us in providing our own line of healthy, nutrient dense pork for you!
5) Working potential for a herd share with an organic dairy - fresh raw milk??? Details coming on Liquid Gold.
6) Preparing to attempt mail order delivery pilot. The ultimate in convenience for you!
7) Inflation, global politics, high overheads have finally caught up to us. We're raising prices by an average 2.5% to 5%. 🤦♀️🤷♂️

Back to item #2....😅
Due to unanticipated circumstances, our operation has stagnated since September. Due to these conditions, and in an effort to maintain positive relations with the land owner, we stagnated our production (impact to you), stopped our growth (impact to us), and called on a friend to move our operation onto his property, as a temporary solution. This is not ideal as we are essentially squatters. 😂🤣
However, thanks to your support in us and your patronage, we were able to place a downpayment on 50-acres. Further, with the assistance from an Angel Investor (you know who you are), we're moving forward with the purchase. Pending any future hiccups, we should be able to close on the property by the end of February.
However, this land purchase does affect our price points, causing us to ever so slightly raise our prices. This is an unfortunate occurrence, but necessary in our service to you.
The benefit of the land purchase means:
• increased and more reliable production rates for you;
• a future retail store front, pick up location, distribution point for mail orders;
• opportunity for you to visit the farm and experience the awe of agriculture production in synch with nature;
• further diversification through pork (May) and beef (Fall). Why wait for the promotional when you can preorder now to reserve your harvest and support our sustainable growth;
• The Egg Exhange - trade your compostables for eggs. Details coming later.
To pull this off, we have to get big and get big quick. This cannot be done without your continued patronage. To help us in making this happen in your favor, prepare for a series of promotions. Or, you can beat everyone to it and place your order. The only way to guarantee the availability of your farm fresh eggs, woodland pork, freedom chicken, and Herd Share is to place the order now. Of note, these will be preorders with delivery later in the year.
Whew...
It's been busy for us! But we're excited for new opportunities, new challenges, and the ability to provide you Only the Best for Your Family and Ours!
Blessed Day,
Kevin & Laura Cory
Owners
Only the Best for Your Family and Ours
