Harvest Hosts

Right now, on our property, we have two camper vans parked by our hay maze.  Two couples (and a little baby) have driven across the US, on their way to the east coast and are currently staying the night on our farm.  We've never met them before and probably won't ever again, but from what we can tell they are the nicest people!  We recently signed up to become Harvest Hosts and this is what happens when you do!

By becoming a Harvest Host you have people come and camp on your property for usually just a night entirely for free - except there's a catch - Harvest Hosts are typically farms or wineries and the deal is they have to buy from you whatever you are selling.  We sell wine, so last night, they bought wine!  We've had just three couples come so far, but as of yesterday two more have booked.  We want to do an Air Bnb one day, too, so this is kind of like that, just that we don't have to provided anything for them, not even a bathroom.  They have to be self-contained.  I have to say I love this soooooo much.  It is soooooo fun for me meeting new people literally every day.  I am having my best life.

We are absolutely in awe of how we are being sustained daily, literally our daily bread.  We continue to sell hay and that has been a miracle in itself.  This past weekend was record sales.  People just keep driving by and stopping.  People are wondering who in the world, what in the world, is going on.  It is just so funny to me who drops by and over and over again the feedback is amazing.  Even if we get a retail space one day, the trailer is a keeper.  People just love it.

Stained glass classes are slowly filling up, it's amazing.  We still need many more students, but it's a good start.  We are trusting for more.  So, this living by faith thing is hard, but so incredible at the same time.
