Dear friends,
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to reflect on this year—a year that has been nothing short of a roller coaster. From summer’s drought to the heartbreaking loss of our beloved farm dog, Coco, who was with us from day one of our lavender farm journey, it’s been a ride of highs and lows. Yet, amidst the challenges, we’ve also welcomed a new joy into our lives: Bonbon, a sweet stray dog who now fills our farm with her playful energy.
Two hurricanes, Francine and Helene, this autumn left our lavender field soaked, yet your unwavering support and words of encouragement kept us going. Our lavenders survived. Whether you came to an in-person market, purchased from our shop, or shared kind words and hugs, our small farm exists because of YOU. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the Baby Bear Farm family. 💜
New Products to Love
This year, we introduced two new products that have quickly become customer favorites:
1️. Bee Brilliance Face Serum: A luxurious addition to your evening skincare routine for radiant, glowing, plumpy skin.
2️. La Dolce Vita (The Sweet Life) – Sweet Oranges & Lavender Coconut Soap: The perfect blend of sweetness and lavender relaxation with coconut oils elevates your self-care rituals.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and these two products are selling fast at our in-person events. If you haven’t tried them yet, we’d love for you to experience the magic they bring to your life! ✨
