As many of you know, my family and I live west of town and we have a farmstand, garden, main home and are currently working on a bakery in our second house on the property. Last night's storm left behind far more damage than we could have imagined.
We had trees uprooted and several tree limbs strewn across our property. The garden was a mess but we are thankful that many of our plants will hopefully survive. The farmstand was pushed off its footings, and the weather head was torn from our house, leaving us without power. We also had tree branches driven through the siding of our home and into the breezeway between our garage and main house. To add to the heartbreak, my favorite stained-glass window in the bakery house was shattered.
It's been an exhausting and emotional day as we've worked to assess the damage and begin the cleanup. While all of these things are replaceable, that doesn't make it any easier to see the places and things you love damaged so suddenly.
Through it all, we are incredibly grateful that everyone is safe and extremely thankful for family and friends help. Material things can be repaired or replaced, and for that blessing we are thankful.
Because of the damage, lack of power, and the unstable condition of the farmstand, we will be CLOSED until further notice while we work through repairs and get everything back in order.
Thank you all for your patience, support, and understanding during this difficult time. We will share updates as we are able and look forward to serving you again when it's safe to do so.
With gratitude,
Cass & Family
