I'm getting inquiries for the sale from Canada, Minnesota, Iowa, California, Washington State, Indiana, Michigan, Florida, and many more places!!!

Thank you all for wanting to come here to the farm...it is such an amazing feeling...and a bit of pressure for me and the farm to look it's best......

hence, my disclosure for the fall event:
(for last year's disclosure go here)

i, anne marie, am not responsible for any overdoses of sugar from my organic carrot cupcakes, or the mega chocolate filled cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

the farm has undergone some frost in recent days and the garden is truly pathetic and not showing off it's autumn beauty...(not to mention the weeds)...we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and your photographs

which brings up any photography of me, anne marie...i am again stating, i am not responsible for me ruining your beautiful photography due to my bedraggled hair and dirty hemline of my gown...trust me on this...

sir charles the rooster and his sire sir wayne like to roam the farmyard with "the ladies" due to their free-range nature, and oftentimes will be "friendly"...do not be alarmed, just take their picture and move on...they are really just out for more pictures of them with their 'chicks' on the internet (gloating to those chickens who are "so-called" 'free-range')


the same goes for our puppy Bella, who may wag her whole back end like she has never seen a person before...we do let her out, but only on special occasions such as the sale (lol)


the prairie winds may be calling you to walk through our prairie in our back 3 acres...if this is the case...please wear appropriate shoes...i do not recommend high heels while sipping on a glass of champagne (again...trust me on this)

Bridgette is only here in spirit...she will not be here for real...but thank you for all your emails about getting to know her better...i'm sure she appreciates that (lol)

last, but not least, which i cannot emphasize enough: my husband is "only one man" and simply cannot see another branch or piece of burlap for the next year at least (uh - sorry buddy...but this Christmas at Na-Da Farm is all about natural elements such as twigs and burlap)

thank you for your cooperation and acceptance of this disclosure...

most sincerely,
the staff at Na-Da Farm
(a.k.a. anne marie and her "only one man" husband)


i'm also participating in Tricia's Barn Photography today

our corn crib...praying that it will next year be "anne marie's barn" 



have a great day!

    What a lovely, loving photo of you and your husband. It speaks for itself. I also love the barn photo. sigh Perhaps someday, I'll own a barn, too! I haven't given up on that dream.

  18. What would your "only one man" husband respond with if asked to give simply one word to describe you with? ;)

    You two are amazing - love the photo of you together, your witty sense of humor, and the picture of your beautiful corn crib.

  20. Just found you through Kristin's blog and am totally smitten! That disclosure discloses a lot about you, and it's all good! You started my day off (WITH coffee) on the right track. Our lives may be very different (I'm a Bellingham bay girl, waaaay up north), but the peace within comes from listening right*where*you*are. Thanks for the reminder!

  26. I'm so very sorry about your barn - I can't image how awful that must have been for you & your family. It looked like you all had a lot of good times there & those memories will last forever!

    I love that song, too - I did a search for it on my playlist player, but it wasn't listed - however, I did find some songs of hers, (Zee Avi) so thank you - I'd never heard of her before.

  28. Hi Anne ,

    I am planning on coming on Sat. with some friends. I am hoping that I am feeling ok I had a treatment on Mon. and the side effects sometimes hit me on Fri- Sat. But I will be there if I can. It would be good medicine for my soul to be surrounded by all of that beauty! And a little shopping therapy never hurts:)
    Love, Sherrie
