The Guell Family Funny Farm

Tonight was pretty special. ❤️

We attended the ribbon cutting for The Shop on 14th tonight, and one of my favorite parts was finally getting the chance to slow down, visit, and really get to know some of the other small-business owners we now get to call our neighbors.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the sweet woman behind Kaccy & Co. Candles, and sometimes you meet someone and just click. We sat and shared stories, talked about our businesses, our families, our faith, and life—and I walked away feeling like I had gained much more than another vendor neighbor. ❤️

Then tonight she surprised me with this incredibly kind post about us.

What makes it even sweeter is hearing that her husband tried the sample of our Muscle & Joint Relief that I sent home with her and was genuinely surprised by how much he liked it and the relief he felt. THAT is the kind of feedback that reminds me why we love making what we make.

And I have to brag on her for a minute too! We brought home some of her candles tonight, and y’all… they smell AMAZING. 😍 She has her fall collection out right now, and there were so many good ones to choose from. I actually have one burning in my house as I’m writing this, and it smells absolutely wonderful. 🍂🕯️

So when you stop by The Shop on 14th, make sure you check out Kaccy & Co. Candles too. Go smell that fall collection—you might have a hard time leaving with just one! 😂❤️

Thank you so much for your beautiful words, your support, and most of all your kindness tonight. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a pretty special friendship. ❤️

This is what I love about small business—community over competition. Supporting each other, cheering each other on, and sometimes finding wonderful new friends along the way. 🥰

🌿 Fellow Maker Spotlight: Gurell Family Funny Farm 🌿

One of the things I loved most about tonight’s grand opening was getting the chance to meet some of the other talented makers behind the products!

I finally had the pleasure of meeting Gina and her beautiful daughter, Isabelle, from Gurell Family Funny Farm. They are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. You can tell Gina puts a lot of thought and care into what she makes.

And I can speak from personal experience about these two products. ❤️

My husband has used her Muscle & Joint Relief Balm on his arthritic joints and was genuinely impressed with the relief he felt. I used her Whipped Tallow Balm on my skin after I had a pretty miserable reaction to the medical tape following surgery, and it was wonderfully soothing and helped my skin recover.

I love supporting another small business when I can actually say, “We’ve used it, and we love it.”

If you see Gurell Family Funny Farm, take a minute to stop by, meet Gina and Isabelle, ask questions, and check out what they make. Sometimes the very best products come from the hands of people right in our own community. ❤️

Small businesses supporting small businesses—that’s how we all grow. The Guell Family Funny Farm

🐐🧀 I made goat milk cheese!!

Almost THREE years of milking goats… and somehow we are just now getting around to making our own fresh goat milk cheese. 😂

This is only our third batch ever, but y’all… it is SO GOOD. 🤤

We’ve been playing around with the process and figuring out exactly how we like it, and I think we’ve officially found our sweet spot. Creamy, fresh, just the right texture, and made right here with milk from our girls.

There’s just something really cool about walking out to the barn, milking your own goats, and then turning that milk into something like this.

I don’t know why it took us almost three years to try it, but I have a feeling I’m going to be making a whole lot more of it. 😂🐐🧀

💔 It’s been a difficult couple of days here at Guell Family Funny Farm.

Thursday evening, what was supposed to be an exciting night bringing home our family’s first camper quickly turned heartbreaking when our sweet Tinker Bell ran into the road and was hit by a passing truck.

After 10 wonderful years with our family, we unexpectedly had to say goodbye. 😭🐾

Tinker Bell has been part of our lives for a decade. She’s watched our kids grow, been here through so many chapters of our lives, and was simply part of our family and our farm.

As heartbreaking as her loss is, we are also incredibly thankful. My husband and children were standing near that same road just moments before the accident, and things could have ended very differently. If losing our sweet Tinker Bell somehow meant my family was protected that evening, then I have to believe her life was not taken in vain. ❤️

We are trusting God even when we don’t understand His plan and thanking Him for the 10 years we were blessed to have her.

We’re also praying for the young man involved. He reached out afterward with genuine remorse, and I know he is carrying his own hurt from what happened. There is already enough pain in this situation, and we choose compassion and prayer over anger.

Farm life brings so much joy, but sometimes it brings some really hard goodbyes too.

Rest easy, sweet Tinker Bell. 🌈🐾
Thank you for 10 wonderful years of loving our crazy little family.

You will be deeply missed. ❤️

☀️🔥 WE’RE MELTING AT TRACTOR SUPPLY! 🔥☀️

We’re all set up at the Tractor Supply Farmers Market in Artesia today… and y’all, it is HOT. 😂

So hot that apparently even our little black signs have decided they’ve had enough and are literally melting off the table. 🤣🤣

But WE’RE STILL HERE! 💪🐐

Come say hi, grab some goat milk soap, tallow goodies, freeze-dried goat milk, and whatever else you need before we melt right along with the signs. 😂

😂 Things you hear when you live on the Funny Farm…

Izabella randomly started singing:

🎶 “I like big UDDERS and I cannot lie…” 🐐😂

And now I can’t stop thinking about all the ridiculous farm shirts we could make.

And YES… I had AI make this shirt as an example because obviously I needed to see it brought to life. 😂

Which brings me to an actual question…

WOULD Y’ALL WEAR THIS?! 😂

Because we’ve tossed around the idea of making some Guell Family Funny Farm shirts — not necessarily shirts plastered with our business name, but funny farm sayings that you’d actually WANT to wear.

So before we get ourselves into another project… 😂

👇 Tell me:
Would you wear this one?

And even better — what funny farm saying should we put on the NEXT shirt?

Drop your ideas below. 👇🐐🐓🐖

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s suggestions. 😂

One of our favorite places + some pretty exciting Guell Family Funny Farm moments! ❤️

We took a little Saturday day trip up to Cloudcroft today to get out of the house, enjoy the cooler mountain air, and soak up all the fun happening in town this weekend.

But we were especially excited about one stop… The Turquoise Shop! 💙

Our sweet friend Sherida carries Guell Family Funny Farm products in her store, and today was the FIRST time we’ve actually gotten to see our products sitting on her shelves! 🥹 Seeing something that we make right on our little farm displayed in a shop in one of our favorite mountain towns was such a cool moment for our whole family.

Of course, we had to take the cheesy family picture pointing at them. 😂👉🏼

We also got to visit with Sherida, who has been such a wonderful supporter of our little business. We’re incredibly thankful for friends and other small-business owners who believe in what we’re doing and give our products a place to reach even more people. ❤️

If you’re spending the weekend in Cloudcroft—or planning a trip up soon—make sure you stop by The Turquoise Shop! Go browse all the goodies, say hi to Sherida, and while you’re there, you might just spot a little piece of the Guell Family Funny Farm. 🐐🌿

From our farm… all the way to the mountains. ❤️
