We never used to think of ourselves as the type of people who would feel comfortable being in front of a crowd. Despite what you might think, we’re both naturally introverted which means that we’ve spent most of our lives trying to NOT be the center of attention.
It’s why we eloped instead of having a big wedding, why we’ve chosen non-flashy career paths, and why we still get super nervous and awkward when we’re asked to do TV interviews like this one.
But we’ve learned that when you put your heart and soul into something, like we have with our farm, the passion just naturally wants to find a way out into the world. The Brighton Market is that release for us, this newsletter and our social media are releases, too. And you know what else serves as that outlet? Our Farm Tours.
We’ve hosted a lot of farm tours over the years. Each tour comes with a greater sense of purpose and connection between our farm and the community. And there are always a few surprises, too. Like that one time last summer when we hosted a big customer tour and our boar started mating with one of our sows in front of EVERYONE. It was both awkward and hilarious…
Anyways, all of this leads to this: We’ve never hosted a winter farm tour before, but we would really love to give it a try when we’re not in the midst of a polar vortex. For those of you who are willing to get bundled up to see our organic farm during the wintertime, we’re ready for ya next weekend.
The weather looks a little more mild next weekend, so we’ve set the date for February 9th at 10am. We’ll have several herds of pigs to meet, new baby piglets and laying hens to see and 2 very passionate farmers to get to know a little better.
What do you think? Do you want to join us? If you’re up for it, reply to this email with a YES and if you’d like, share a passion with us so we can get to know you a little better. We will be sure to send you all the details for the tour and keep you in the loop as our plans unfold.
Your Farmers,
Jenney and Greg
