A Brief Hiatus & A Grand Re-Opening
Hi friends! Welcome back!
I am saying that to myself as much as I am saying that to you, the reader [and hopefully the consumer].
For those of you just tuning it to this program, we took a leap of faith in 2020 as the world shut down and some time was afforded to me, time I never had before with the massive amount of time required of me at my previous job. We opened in one location, outgrew that space quickly and moved, and new building opened and we moved again, and then the DREAM BUILDING opened in the heart of the Historic Downtown district. This building and space was perfect! The perfect windows. The perfect outdoor space. The perfect opportunities for growth. The perfect charm. The perfect antique charm. I knew this was the space the store and the brand would thrive for a long, long time. BUT - life [and let’s face facts—terrible people] had other ideas, causing a severe, unexpected, but in the end a necessary change in life that would move us from the community we called home for so long.
Long story short — we couldn’t be happier. Life and the universe was exactly right. I had long put up with and taken abuse from organizations and people that I was too frightened to admit and higher powers took care of that for me.
We know THRIVE in a community that appreciates us, respects us, communicates with us, values us, and understands the word ‘no’. We get to call an 1870’s farmhouse home, situated on eight and a half beautiful acres, with more opportunities than we could ever imagine.
Thus, the hiatus. There has been a lot to do and accomplish in a year. But here we are a year later, stronger, settled, roots planted, and ready to grow and blossom in our lives, careers, and endeavors, including City Boy Country Life.
We invite you to come along for the journey as we re-open our adventure and expand our dreams at Fair Prospect Farm. Shop with us in person or via our website, stay tuned for CREATE classes, and much, much more from City Boy County Life in the months to come.
