If anyone is able to help identify who is responsible for this, PLEASE do so.
Small businesses are barely making it as it is, this is both maddening and very sad that this has somehow become the new "norm".
From the beginning we decided as a business we'd never post on social media about theft. As a self-serve stand does it happen? Every day. We have to compartmentalize it, stay positive and keep moving forward. But this week someone stole a baby chick from the coop and last night as we celebrated our daughter's 5th birthday at home, 2 hooded guys came in with garbage bags and took every quart of peaches, every ear of corn, every cookie, pretty much every last item in all 3 gazebos. Imagine walking in to work on Sunday morning after working all week and watching that on the surveillance cameras. With lumps in our throats we'll restock and replenish but what was taken from us is heavier than produce and more expensive than products. We know the risks of operating our stand but the alternative is not to have one anymore. Sorry for the Sunday blues but sometimes we have to share the dirt instead of the sunshine. By the way Friends of the Farm, anybody happen to know this guy? Feel free to share, it would feel better to catch this guy.
