It’s a Brand New Year

2023 flew by super fast but was very enjoyable with many shows, lots of calves, lambs, baby donkeys, the farmers market, and many other memorable days.

Jeff and I welcomed two more grandchildren into the family, Walter who was born in March (Brady’s son) and Eliana who was born in September (Kayla’s daughter). Now, we have five total grandchildren.

The two toddlers, Emalee and Weston, enjoy their individual days here to visit and play with the animals. Weston has a particular fascination with machinery and also the cattle. Emalee, on the other hand, loves horses…and every thing else too. Both of them are pretty fearless! Kairi, our eldest, showed again this summer at the Northern Wisconsin State fair. We also got to watch Kairi explore her other interests: softball and her love of dancing.

This morning, as a part of a beautiful new year, I finally got my sleigh out (I’m so thankful for snow and a few nice days). Emalee joined me while I took Dancer out for a drive around the fields. It was AMAZING!

Things we are looking forward to in 2024 include a new crop of calves and baby lambs, many more horse drawn sleigh and wagon rides, getting out to some shows over the summer, and also more adventures/memories made with our friends and family.

A couple pages here on the website have been updated with some information. The Sandy Acres Meats page has our current meat offerings and prices. Additionally, we’ve been adding heifers to the Livestock For Sale page as I get photos of them. Check those pages out.

Don’t forget, I’m open every Monday afternoon from 3-7pm here at the farm for your meat purchases, so come out and see me! Also, available by appointment by calling me, Marie 715-579-2917.

Hopefully Wally (our Border Collie dog ;)) pops in here with an update during February while we are busy lambing!

Happy New Year! Sincerely, Marie Pagenkopf
