Welcome, Georgie!

Hello Skyview Friends,
It’s Wednesday instead of Monday, and for good reason!
Late Monday evening, right on schedule and just as the sun was setting, Darcy welcomed a beautiful bull calf into the world. We named him Georgie, and we’re happy to report that both momma and baby are doing great.
With storms in the forecast, we spent Monday night preparing a comfortable place for Darcy and Georgie to shelter overnight. By the time everyone was settled and cared for, the newsletter had to wait a couple of days. We figured you’d forgive us for choosing calf duty first!
As if welcoming a new calf wasn’t enough excitement for one week, we also officially moved into the farmhouse yesterday.
After weeks of commuting back and forth from Louisburg, we’re finally calling Skyview home. It was a hot day for moving, but our crew did an amazing job, and we were happy to send everyone home with milk and yogurt as a small extra thank-you. We’re still surrounded by boxes, but we’re home!
In the farm store, we’ve added a few new items and restocked some customer favorites. You’ll now find multiple bacon options and chicken cuts from Castle Farms available online. We also received fresh supplies of Twin Pine’s honey and the large-size Elderberry Syrup from Mindfully Made.
We’re also working to get all of your favorite Noffke cheeses back in stock. Bill and Sheri successfully completed their move to Atchison last Friday, and while we miss seeing them around the farm every day, we’re excited for this next chapter for them. Fortunately, it’s not goodbye—we’ll be seeing them again soon, and we look forward to continuing to carry the wonderful cheeses you’ve come to know and love.
Between a new calf, a new home, and lots of activity around the farm, it’s been a memorable week here at Skyview.
As always, thank you for supporting our family, our farm, and local agriculture. We appreciate every visit, every order, and every word of encouragement as we settle into this new chapter.
With gratitude,
— Jessica
