Good morning,

Not the message I was planning to write. This week marks the start of our 2025 growing season as we begin seed planting.

I’ve been feeling good—other than still getting tired now and then, I’ve felt back to normal. To be cautious, we delayed everything until after my three-month angiogram checkup earlier this week. Our trip was filled with optimism—spring always brings renewed spirits, and we were excited to get back to normal.

The procedure went smoothly, and during recovery, we waited for the doctor’s update. When he stopped in, he let us know the aneurysm that ruptured in late December looks good. Yay! But then he told us I have another aneurysm. Boo…

This one is close to the previous one and unruptured. Because of its shape and its location—right where the carotid artery branches—it adds more complexity. This was very unexpected. They were willing to perform corrective surgery the next day, but it was a lot to process. Maybe we weren’t fully prepared, or maybe we just didn’t feel strongly confident in the proposed approach. Either way, we decided to postpone the surgery and seek additional opinions. We’ve now scheduled a second opinion in Fargo and received a referral to Mayo. So now we wait…

So, what does this mean for 701 Homestead?

After looking forward to our 2025 growing season, we’ve made the tough decision to pause and focus on my care. There’s currently a lot of uncertainty, and we believe we need to prioritize health and healing. That means we won’t be growing anything this year, so many of the products we typically make will be unavailable. However, we’ll still try to offer our other non-garden items, as those tend to be less time-sensitive.

When you build up a small business, the last thing you want to do is take a break. Please know this wasn’t an easy decision. Your support—both personally and for 701 Homestead—means the world to us. It might sound strange, but thank you for everything you’ve done to get us to this point, and making this a hard decision.

We love you all.

Thank You!
