Farmer Nicole's Personal Update: Healing, Health, and Circle C Farm's Next Steps
Dear Circle C Farm Family,
I never imagined I’d be writing this, but after much soul-searching and reflection, I need to share some personal news with you all.
A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare Stage 2 breast cancer. While this isn’t something we spoke about publicly, as we are very private people, the time has come for me to step back and focus on my health and healing. I’ve pushed forward through many challenges after the diagnosis, but I now realize that I haven’t allowed myself the time and space I truly need to heal, both physically and mentally. It’s time I respect that process.
I know this will come as a shock, and I can only imagine the emotions many of you are feeling. Some of you may worry about where you’ll source your food, as you’ve trusted us at Circle C Farm for years. Please take heart—there are so many other amazing farms and producers out there who are doing incredible work.
While we step away for this time, we have full confidence that you will find what you need from others in our amazing agricultural community. You’ll be in good hands, we promise.
For over a decade, many of you have been more than clients to us—you’ve become true friends and family. You know that the relationships we’ve built go far beyond the products we’ve shared. We want to reassure you: this is not goodbye forever, just a pause, a necessary one for my well-being. You will be okay, and I will be okay after I take the time to heal and recover.
Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude for your support, love, and trust over these last 10 years. You have been with us through every step of this incredible journey, and we will forever cherish the bonds we’ve created.
We look forward to reconnecting with you all after we’ve taken this time to recover. This journey with you have been more fulfilling to Manny and I than you could ever possible know or imagine!
Thank you for your understanding, for your love, and for being a part of our Circle C Farm family.
With deep appreciation and love,
Farmer Nicole
