Pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone is scary. You would have never believed it from this photo. So many things going through our minds this very day… what if no one buys anything, will the community accept us? Are we doing this right? What will people think? Should we do this? These were our very fears that were trying to redirect us back to our safe space and turn that truck around that was loaded with our freshly picked produce that morning.
As we pulled up to our first Farmers Market in 2021 we were greeted by what we now know as our local community. As we put our truck in park and started to unload, multiple vendors greeted us with introductions and offered a helping hand to setup our stand.
That day was the day I knew coming back home to Iowa was the right choice. Although we were completely out of our comfort zone we were welcomed with such warmth from the community. It was so abundantly clear that from that day forward we needed to work harder than we have ever worked before to get it right not for us but for our community.
We have been trying ever since.
We continue to work on improving our skills and put everything we can into building something extraordinary here at the farm.
Moral of this story is don’t let your fears get in the way of achieving your goals. Sometimes going through them is the only way♥️ so glad we didn’t turn that truck around that day.
