Everyone at Norm’s Farms is our usual busy, but at this time of year we enjoy taking some time to count our blessings! We’ve enjoyed another great year of growth and successfully launched a new product, ElderCran, and have another one, Elderberry Gummies, in the final stages of development. We are super excited about both new products and can’t wait to launch our really great tasting Elderberry Gummies sometime in early 2020. We are so grateful to all the independent stores, small and large chains that stock our products and believe in us!
As grateful as we are for all the blessings bestowed upon us at work, life is about more than work. Top of the personal blessings for those of us at Norm’s Farms are the birth of Chelsey’s son, Rowan, pictured here in his adorable Halloween costume. Chelsey gave birth to Rowan this past summer and, when her planned 12-week maternity leave was nearly over, she realized that she couldn’t bring herself to leave Rowan and come back to work. Chelsey is in “7th heaven” in her new position as Rowan’s full-time mama and we are so happy for her! And then, just last week, Kylie Weems, our Social Media guru and marketing wiz gave birth to her beautiful daughter, Blakely! Both Kylie and Blakely are doing great at home and we look forward to Kylie’s return in about 3 months.

A big blessing in my own life is the discovery that I love to make art, or at least try! I’ve been blessed to be part of a small class of women led by a wonderful art teacher for the past year. I am so in love with the process of taking a blank canvas to a finished work over the course of a month or more. When Brittany asked me if I would like to paint a scene from her own elderberry field I was honored by the challenge! I can honestly say that painting a field of elderflowers is not easy and the process of completing this painting taught me so much about perspective and the use of color to convey light.
We are blessed to have our good health, happy families, and careers at Norm’s Farms, a company that was just a dream a decade ago. We thank each and everyone of you for following us over the years, participating in our surveys and taste tests, giving us your honest opinions and invaluable criticisms, and for your support through the purchases you have made of our products! We hope this Thanksgiving is a happy time for you and your families and that your lives are showered with blessings too!
