Guess what!!! 😱😱😱😱

Ok you’ve all been asking… I’m doing one big restock drop with all of your favorite prints from ALL THREE collabs! 🥹😍 (there’s going to be more prints than these but these were the #1 prints out of each drop.

These have been so so fun and such a learning experience for myself. These 3 women I worked with are amazing and I’m so beyond blessed for their friendship and helping me grow as a small business owner.

That being said. Please stay tuned for more details on when the drop will be and what prints you’ll see 😍😍

Sending prayers for Copper Acres Farm. Look at the size of that hail!!! Yikes!

Wellllll here we are again. Man, Shepherd gets annihilated every season 🫠 i’ll go out in the morning to assess all the damage. Where my dahlias are at are between my shop and house and slightly had a break to help cover them. Then should bounce back quick.

We are out of power. Which means we’ll have to wait and see about the farm stand being opened in the morning. 💜

🌙 Late Night Wedding Venue Thoughts… 🌙

Apparently midnight is the perfect time to sit down and build wedding packages.

I’ve been up way too late tonight working on Sunset Acre Events and trying to spell out exactly what we want each package to include—and let me tell you… there is SO. MUCH. TO. THINK. ABOUT.

It’s not just “Here’s a pretty place to get married.”

We’re thinking about everything.

What should be standard?
What should be an upgrade?
What should we have available on-site?
What will make the wedding weekend easier?
What will make guests comfortable?
What little things will make couples say, “Oh my gosh, they thought of that!”

Tables and chairs. Linens. Décor. Getting-ready suites. A full prep kitchen. A walk-in cooler. Outdoor heaters. A covered outdoor space. Fire pit. Lawn games. A playground for the kiddos. Projector. Popcorn machine. Karaoke. Sound equipment. High-top tables. Ceremony pieces. And all the little details in between.

And then there’s the actual wedding experience—coordination, planning, food, desserts, photography, music, bar service, MC options, setup, cleanup… the list keeps growing. 🤣

We want couples to have options. Whether they want to DIY their day and make it completely their own, or hand us the reins and say, “Just make it beautiful,” we want there to be a package that fits.

And because Shane and I will be the very first wedding at the ranch, we have the unique opportunity to build this from the perspective of a couple, too.

We’re asking ourselves:

What would WE want included?
What would make OUR wedding weekend easier?
What would we wish we didn’t have to rent, haul, coordinate, or worry about?

So tonight, we’re dreaming, planning, calculating, second-guessing, adding things to lists, taking things off lists… and probably creating about 47 spreadsheets. 😵‍💫

BUT… there’s one thing we haven’t completely settled on yet: THE NAME.

We’ve been tossing around names, and while Sunset Acre Events has been one of our favorites, we’re not 100% sure it’s the one.

Especially because we’re planning something pretty exciting for the property. We’re going to be replanting the pastures with beautiful tall grasses and wildflowers, so eventually the ranch will be surrounded by fields of grass and blooms, with the Idaho sunsets behind it.

So maybe Sunset Acre is perfect… or maybe there’s a name out there that fits this place even better. Sunset Meadows?

So help us out! 👇🏻

What would YOU name a wedding venue here?

Drop your ideas below! And if you’ve been following along with the plans, tell me which name you think would work best.

Who knows… maybe one of you will come up with the name that sticks.

Now… it is officially WAY past my bedtime. I’m probably slightly delusional at this point.

Goodnight from the future home of some pretty amazing wedding weekends.

✨ 2027 BREEDING SEASON UPDATES! ✨

Hi everyone! We have some BIG changes coming for the 2027 breeding season, so we’ll be updating the website once fair is over and we can come up for air.

Here’s what you can expect:

🤎🩷 Freckles & Speckles — We’re officially opening this pen to public orders!

🌸🥚 Bloopers & Blooms — We’ll be opening this pen to outside orders as well!

💙🤍 Whiting True Blue — Officially being added to our breeding program! Yes we had them last year but they were only offered in VERY limited numbers or in Colorful Clutch orders only.

💙🖤🤍BBS Ameraucana — Making a comeback! These will be VERY limited orders. (Like our WTB were last year.)

🩷 Welsummers — These will also be VERY limited orders.

🐣 We are NO LONGER shipping chicks. This is a big change for us, but we feel it’s the right direction for our program and for the birds. Local pickup will still be available.

🐥 Shipped pullet pricing will also be changing significantly. We’ll be shipping pullets at a younger age, and DNA testing will be required for everyone’s peace of mind. Pricing will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the additional DNA testing costs.

📅 Orders for Spring 2027 will open December 1st!

We are NOT currently taking orders. Once orders open, we will be handling them through direct message or text. So when orders open, if you want to place an order, you’ll need to reach out to us directly.

💜 And yes… subscribers still get first dibs!

Our $1.99/month subscriber group gets:
✨ First access to drops
✨ Early access to orders
✨ Discounted products
✨ Monthly Freebies
✨ And occasionally some pretty fun extras 😉

It’s only $1.99, and I promise I always find a way to make it back up to you in your order. They don’t call me the Queen of Chicken Math for nothing. 👑😉

Once we get caught up on our very short remaining order list, we may open a few additional spots. Those will go to our subscriber group first, and then anything remaining will be offered to the main page.

We still have a handful of orders we’re working to get out, so thank you SO much for your patience while we get everyone taken care of.

We are incredibly excited about what 2027 is going to bring. We’ve been working behind the scenes on some pretty exciting things, and we can’t wait to share this next chapter of Crooked Arrow Ranch with you!

Thank you, as always, for supporting our crazy little chicken operation.

2027 is going to be a WONDERFUL year.

Okay. I’ve had several people ask me about our coozies since I posted this picture.

If we offered these, would you buy them? We would do pre order only. If so, let me know. I’m happy to do some orders.

You guys……you all are so amazing. We are so grateful and blessed to be able to roll all this into kids. You all are such a blessing. We can’t say Thank you enough. Cheers.
