The weather at Full Circle Farm was awesome for our Customer Appreciation Day, it only rained a tiny bit, not enough to make you seek cover. BUT because there were local tornado warnings and rain in both Jax AND Tally, many people did not come so we had only half as many folks as we hoped for. It was a windy, somewhat overcast day but that made the heat wane quite a bit. Overall it was a successful day for us, a time to get to meet several customers that we had not met before and to reconnect with those that we had. It was also a time to connect those who came, to the land and animals that their food comes from and for us, that is priceless. We look forward to doing something like it again in the future. Our children had a HUGE time playing with all the kids and at the end of the day were beaming with pleasure. That is icing on the cake for a parent and it really made the day for us. Lily was VERY nervous about showing her goat operation but was especially proud of how that went and ready to do it again when we had 10 kids from a school in Gainesville come camping for 2 nights this week. We again had a wonderful time, played kick ball till we dropped and then ate ice cream till we were full. Our new low carb ice cream really focuses on the incredible cream it is made of and hardly gives you a sugar buzz at all, for you low carb folks, you may have just found your favorite brand and the healthiest, too!
We really enjoy sharing our farm with people and are thinking of ways to do it more through our budding campground and RV site. This is something we would only do spring and fall here, I think, but yes it is a way to build connection and relationship with our customers. I am often amazed at some of the questions asked by the intelligent folks that come to the farm. I must say we have some of the best folks around and as a public speaker it is always more fun to interact with folks who are serious foodies vs fringe groupies. If you are on the edge, just sticking your toes into the water of clean, local food I want to encourage you to jump in head first by spending some time with Sally Fallon via her dvd’s on the work of Dr. Weston Price (www.westonaprice.org). We have them for sale on our site and are so confident you will love them that we offer a 60 day money back on them.
