It's time to reveal the 2025 farm calendar!
Putting the farm calendar together has become one of the best parts of fall....besides the cooler weather. These calendars started as just a fun way to share some pictures with friends and family, but gratefully grew into a "bake sale" way to help our small flock of sheep support themselves.
I had a fun group of photos to work with this year and I like the whimsy of several of them. Who wouldn't like a sheep blowing a raspberry at a big pile of snow? :-) Once again I added a short story to each month and lots of mini pictures fill in the blank spaces and add extra fun and tell further mini photo stories.
We also created a limited run of companion note cards again this year. I used quite a few of them last year and was happy that I sent more snail mail than I have in years. If you'd like to share a favorite calendar picture with a friend, the companion card is a perfect option. The accompanying stories are found on the back.
It is still unrealistic for a small farm to "upgrade" to a fancy online shop site so once again we are doing the old time ordering system where you send me an email letting me know what you'd like and where it should be shipped and I'll include an invoice and return envelope in your package. Add an extra note if you'd like :-).
Those notes are how I learned that several of you don't turn the calendar pages until it's time so that each month is a surprise. I love that idea and now do that myself. Even though I made the calendar, by about March I've forgotten who comes next. I love being surprised!
That spoiler factor is also why I've put all the boring text up here and hidden the sneak peek calendar and card shots below. Don't look if you don't want to! Or you can peek...but goreallyfast ;-).

Well, Lancelot is still rolling in the mud. We lost Jared over the summer so Maisie is now the “friendly” face of the farm. She might look a bit frail these days, but it’s still a good idea to watch out for the sheep with the tail. Possum and Archie take turns (mostly) in the wool box bed. Pinto continues to jump in and out of the arena at will, and a new friend, Pinot, is keeping spell check confused. When Bea's not out ruling the world, she’s now moved from our feet to the bed. She has no idea what we would do without her.
We will always miss our old friends. If you aren’t familiar with their stories, we encourage you to visit the farm blog to meet them.
As always, a special thanks to Saint Tim for doing all the hard work and heavy lifting and a grateful thank you to all of you who are such an important part of our farm family. Your care and kindness through the years is appreciated more than you could ever imagine.
