Cedar the highland surveys her kingdom.
She & Willow are just beside the main Topsy #farmyard.
We're working on building a nice platform/railing/deck for our visitors to say hi
Right now the viewing area is a piece of salvaged plywood.
Topsy is leveling up.
But, leveling up...1/5
in a way that feels right for us.
Each new click of the gear gets us closer to the place where we would like to be.
What does that look like?
It looks like the #animals getting the best possible care, all of the time, & not having to factor in what a vet costs or how much a...2/5
particular medicine costs.
The Topsy staff always has enough human resources to mostly work on projects they want to work on most of the time.
It looks like more #rewilding.
It looks like having #SallysGarden as a #teaching, #workshop space.
It looks like the buildings...3/5
straightened up & wood rot fixed.
It looks like the #wool, #retail part of our business expanding to a national scale that we are comfortable with.
That simply, running the #farm well is the marketing plan for the #blankets, #yarn & all the other wonderful offerings...4/5
That is it.
That is what #success looks
like.
Thank you for following our #journey.
Thank you for helping us to keep the #farmland as a #farm. 5/5
