All About Us :)

Ola Everyone! We are quite excited over here and we hope your day has been as rewarding as ours :)
Anyone living on a dairy farm knows a farmer's life is quite monotonous and can be a bit boring to tell you the truth. Not much goes on, it's all routine and the animals like that but it can really take a toll on you. So anyways, enough of the boring talk, let's get to the reason of my excitement hehe
A few weeks back a reporter for NOW online contacted me wanting to visit the farm and write and article about us. It seems my sister knows her and had told he about how we do things and so she decided an article is in order :)
We have been trying to schedule a date suitable for all of us for quite some time now and finally last week it worked!
Yasmina Hatem passed by along with Basil, a long term friend my husband and have come to know since he is very good friends with my brother in law. 
We had a chat and a few laughs then it was off to meet and greet our glorious cows, chickens and bees. 
They finished the visit and we gave them a few of our products and Yasmina told us she would let me know once the article is done. I was so excited already hehe
Yesterday she sent me the link and we were so happy with it, it's nice because it was describing why we make our choices for what we do around here. The fact that we are not organic and why as well as a few details about our chickens and bees.
Here's a few nice pics and info from the article:


It's always nice to get recognized and here's a link for everyone to enjoy.
Have a good one! :)

Getting back to it!

I know it has been quite a while since i last posted (to me it feels like forever) but i have a really good excuse i promise :P
My husband and i had our yearly vacation and we had been planning so hard for it and of course as usual we headed to The Awesome Netherlands! i just love it there and that's not only because my sister and uncle live there but because it has everything you could ever want in a country and God knows we lack everything in Lebanon so a bit of something good lets you see the difference...

It was an 18 day vacation and we tried to make the most of it by visiting some new places and all time favorites like Den Haag :)
But enough about that. We are back at the farm and focused more than ever on our online business (which is doing pretty well thank you). We have added a few products like butter, which is super easy and i promise to share the recipe with you guys asap and are generally bettering the service and everything. We are also pretty excited about the fact that "Grow My Business Lebanon" contacted us last week to advise that we had made it on the semi finalists list and need to prepare a business plan and attend a few trainings (which we did) and at the end if we make it we might stand to win around 30000$ which is pretty darn amazing for our business especially since we plan on opening a store, in fact that is why we applied :)
So fingers crossed...will keep you all posted on how it all goes and if you're interested here's a link to our page.
Oh and check out this adorable little baby hatchling that came with us as an egg all the way from Holland to be born here. We are so proud hehe
