Great progress all around
Scenes from around the farm this Memorial Day.
Hello Skyview Friends!
What a beautiful Memorial Day it has been here at the farm. After such a rainy spring, today’s sunshine, fresh air, and green pastures have been a gift. As we enjoy the holiday today, we also want to pause and remember the true meaning of Memorial Day — honoring and remembering the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are deeply grateful for the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy because of their sacrifice.
This past week was our first full official week here at Skyview Farm and Creamery, and we’re happy to say it went very well! We’ve made progress on many fronts and continue learning the rhythms of the farm. There is still plenty to do, but we’re feeling encouraged and grateful for all of your support during this transition.
One exciting update is that we believe we have resolved the payment card issue that some customers were experiencing during online checkout. As of today, Monday, May 25, orders should now process normally again. If you are still running into any issues completing an order with a payment card, please email us at info@skyviewfarm.net and we’ll be happy to help.
This week we are also busy preparing for the Linn County Farm Tour taking place this Saturday, May 30 from 9:00am–3:00pm. We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors to the farm and sharing more about what makes Skyview special.
The Noffkes are also making great progress on their next steps. They closed on both their new residence and on the new creamery in Atchison last Friday. Packing and cleaning are getting more serious as their actual moving day is June 5. If you would like to help load the truck at this end, call Bill. We’ve heard that it’s National Donut Day that day, so maybe there will be some here?
The branding for their new creamery has been created and ready to apply to all kinds of things. Their new website has a place to sign up for the new creamery newsletter which will start back up soon. (Sign up via the link below!) Stephen and family are vacation/camping in the southwest for the next 10 days, but when they get back, they will be ready to tackle the next phase of setting up the new creamery - not only selling the cheese that is already made, but also for producing MORE. We’re so excited for them!
There are so many exciting things happening all around, and we’re grateful to be part of this next chapter together. Thank you again for supporting the farm and both our families’ dreams. We hope you all enjoy the beautiful weather and had a meaningful Memorial Day with your families.
