Ready or not, Huntington... I'll be there in less than two weeks! Stop by and say hi next Saturday, 6/27, at Morning Star Homestead from noon to 6pm. They've got OVER 50 VENDORS and I am so excited! Hope to see you there!

Pretty much anything you can print on, we can get ordered for you. Dealing with the websites with specific parameters and stingy rules can be really stressful, not to mention finding the right printer in the first place that isn't outside of your budget.

This is a banner Sarah at Hope and Honey and I recently finished up, and we love how it turned out! She's been an absolute pleasure to work with and also makes some darn good cookies. 🍪✨

🥚 Community Share Program: Helping Our Neighbors Thrive 🌾

​Our girls have been incredibly busy, and right now, we are blessed with a beautiful surplus of farm-fresh eggs! 🐓✨

​Community is at the very heart of everything we do here at Seven Saplings Farm. We believe everyone should have access to wholesome, fresh food, which is why we are launching our Community Share Program!

​How it works:

🌱 ​Pay what you can: If you have a little extra to spare, your contribution helps keep this program running.

🌱 ​Take what you need: If things are tight right now, please take what you need to feed your family—no questions asked.

🌱 Seasonal additions: Right now, we have fresh eggs. As the season progresses, we plan to expand the share to include our fresh-milled heritage flours, artisanal breads, and other seasonal items from the farm!

​🏡 How to Request a Pickup:

​Because we don't have a traditional farm stand set up yet, and to keep everything safe given recent farm stand thefts in the area, these items will not be left out by the road.

​Instead, we are doing seamless, private porch pickups:

​Feel free to message us directly to request a share.

​It is completely no questions asked.

​We will place your items out on our wrap-around porch for you, exactly the same way we handle our standard pre-paid pickups.

​Let’s look out for one another and help our neighbors thrive. ❤️ Message us anytime to coordinate a time to stop by!

Guess what?! I'm a published contributor now!

I connected with Matthew Dyer on LinkedIn as a fellow The University of Olivet graduate, and he informed me of a super cool community he's built as a part of his Master's studies. It's called "3 Years Tales from The Pandemic" and it's highlighting how the pandemic affected artists' lives and works.

Here's the article: https://www.3yearstalesfromthepandemic.com/leahhopkins

Special thank you to Matthew again for extending the opportunity. This has been so fun!

Another new collaboration!! ✨🎉💩

I'm not sure I ever knew I'd be working with a pet waste removal company, but there's a first time for everything! Tyler at Wee Doo Poo has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to continuing to work together and grow my network of local businesses that need design services. Be sure to go check out his services if you're in the Columbia City area.
