Closing Our First Market Season: A Reflection

How is it November already?! We've officially hit our 1 year anniversary of moving here.

As the final leaves begin to take their fall, we're feeling such a deep sense of gratitude from what we've accomplished this year at SOL Family Farm. This weekend, we set up our booth for a final time in 2025, at the Holiday Artisan Market hosted at the Gallupville House, marking a close to our first season of vending.

What a journey it has been! Thank you to all those who supported our vending ventures this year. Every purchase, every smile, and every conversation shared really filled our hearts, and truly illuminated how LUCKY we are to be surrounded by such a beautiful community. We have been profoundly touched by the warmth and curiosity by everyone who stopped by our table this season. What began as an experiment in connection grew into a rhythmic pulse of organic learning & exchange.

This weekend was our best market to date. Our community poured in right on time and we had 5 very busy hours. Our offerings were well received and had many happy new customers. We are feeling fully dialed-in with our setup (with the new addition of crystals!) and plan to continue showing up in our local markets in the upcoming year.

As we start our journey inward for the winter months, our hearts are full of inspiration for what's next. We'll be spending the quieter season refining our offerings and dreaming up new way to serve our members and community in the year ahead. But first, to cap off the year, we will be offering a Winter Solstice Gift box, filled with a curated collection of sacred seasonal items to nurture warmth and healing, which will be available for purchase by our members. Keep an eye on your email for the release- in two or three weeks.

With warmth and gratitude,

Julie & Ben
