🌱🌱🌱Back story: As you know, Lauren grew a large majority of the produce that was sold at Farm Chicks.

WELLL I planted a massive field of winter squash, pumpkins, and gourds early this summer with anticipation of selling them at my physical store (obviously prior to deciding to close)
SO now I just have thousands of squash in my driveway. 🎃 COME ‘n GET ‘em!!!!

All grown organically by me 🙂
Enjoy!

Whew, it’s been a while!
Lauren here!! (Hiiii!! I miss you all!!)

I wanted to check in and give you all an update:

🐓 We opened Farm Chicks at the beginning of the pandemic with the goal of supporting our community by offering products directly from local farms. Our initial 15 or so vendors quickly expanded to over 60 in just the first three months, in response to the community’s demand for local products.

🐓 For us, two stay-at-home/farm moms, it brought significant changes to our families. Over the next three years, as the world continued to change rapidly, so did Farm Chicks. We onboarded more vendors, hired employees, hosted even more events, and collaborated with various businesses. To the outside world, we were a thriving business (which we were), but the toll it took on us and our families was immense. We knew changes had to happen.

Jamie stepped back first to rejoin her family and focus on her farm. A year later, it was my turn to make a change, so I closed the physical store to downsize and restructure the business.

As mothers and wives, we had to make the difficult decision to put ourselves first. It wasn’t that the business wasn’t thriving; it was that our personal lives were suffering.

During that last month the doors were open, I had many wonderful conversations with women and men of all ages about balance, family, the pressures of society, and mental health.
I knew I had made the right decision.Thank you for all those heavy convos 🥰🥰

So, enough of that sappy stuff.

🐣🐣🐥🐥🐤

I hope that Farm Chicks will have a rehatching in 2024, and I hope you will continue to follow and support!!! I don’t have much information to share right now, other than I’m working to create a more family-friendly business model and that Farm Chicks in whatever form, will be based off my farm in Westminster.

Please share and comment!
I want to hear from you all!!!!!!

Love,
Lauren 💕💕

In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been doing for the last two months!
Lots of hanging with my two nieces (the adorable babies) and daughters
Oh and of course, playing in the dirt at my farm with Kimmie.
