We've also had some really big changes here at the farm and in our Spute-Kee family. As many of you know, Mike retired from the military about 2 years ago after 30 years of dedicated service then turned right around and took a civilian government job at Coast Guard Headquarters for the next few years. I still have 4 years to go before I reach that venerable 30 so I remain on active duty at CGHQ. On May 1st I was promoted and with that came my latest set of orders: San Diego, CA. I report in October.
Yep... it's FAR! But don't fret, we're not moving. However, I will be traveling A LOT and in the first year I'm required to also go away for another senior leadership school. There will be so many more logistics than those we currently manage and we're already two-blocked with the farm and two full-time jobs so we had to make the difficult decision to downsize. We will:
- Sell much of our adult breeding stock
- Cancel monthly markets (beginning with October) - we may have ad hoc markets TBD
- Cancel all poultry swaps (this is already an incredible amount of work & expense)
- Stop hatching for at least the first year
- Stop raising meat for sale for at least the first year
