🚨 🚨 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 🚨 🚨
With an incredibly heavy heart, I need to share that 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋 before our summer closure.
I know I previously shared that we would remain open through the week of the 15th, but circumstances have changed.
It is with profound sadness that I share that 𝐁𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐔𝐒.
I am not ready to fully share what happened, but in time I will. When I do, I hope it can serve as a lesson in education and understanding for us all.
For now, I simply ask for privacy as I process a loss that has completely shattered my heart.
Those who have followed our journey or visited our farm know that Bama wasn't just an animal here.
𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌.
He was my best friend, my shadow, my comfort, my rock, and my best boy.
I know so many of you loved him too, and I am truly sorry for the hurt and heartbreak this news will bring.
I know this decision may feel abrupt, and perhaps even selfish. Please know it was not made lightly. Right now, I do not feel capable of showing up for our children, answering the questions that will come, or providing the emotional stability and safe space they deserve while navigating the depth of grief I am experiencing.
𝐈 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄.
The reality is that this loss has affected more than just me. My family is hurting. Our farm is hurting. Even the herd is struggling with this change.
Because of that, I need to step away sooner than planned and focus on healing, caring for my family, and supporting the animals who remain in my care.
To every family who has trusted us with your children, supported our mission, loved our animals, and loved Bama alongside me—thank you.
I am deeply sorry for the sudden change in plans.
𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. ❤️
