Hi All,
Some of you have heard the rumors, some of you haven't. So before to much misinformation is spread around, I will give it to you from the "horse's mouth".
Over a year ago, I met a fella online who lives in upstate New York. About half way between Syracuse and Rochester. My son and I spent all of February with him in NY, and he was starting the process of moving to WY when the economy went crazy and everything got super expensive. Our plans went totally sideways. As a result he is unable to make the move here at this time. I have been farming without a mate for 11 years now. He is a wonderful addition to my life and would have been to the farm, additionally, as a heavy equipment mechanic - an asset to the community. However, as I do not want to keep farming on my own and I also don't want to give him up, I have chosen to move to his 80 acres in upstate NY. The WY farm will stay in family hands. My brother, Karl and his wife Kim, will be moving into my house to care-take thing and my Dad and Papa Karl will remain on the farm as well. Karl and Kim are not "farmers" (although they both have it in their background), so the farm will not be run the same as it currently is (I will be selling most of the livestock), but the land will remain the same and who knows what grand schemes they will think up!
This will be a big change for all parties involved including you, my customers. I just want to let you know that I will still be around until this fall sometime (yet to be determined), lots to wrap up yet. I will continue to supply you with Becker Family Stock Farm products until that time. I want to thank you for all your wonderful support over these past 10 plus years and let you know that this is a very hard decision for me. I so enjoy bringing good food to good people in this wonderful community and it will be a real loss to let that go. I believe there are several folks in the community who are now providing similar products and I hope you will continue to ask for and receive healthy foods from a local source.
Thank you for all your years of support, stay well and take care,
Sonja
