Simmer Down

There are events you attend… and then there are events that become part of your family. ❤️

Kuchta Farms Fall Fest will forever hold such a special place in our hearts.

We’ve been coming to this event for 10 years — first through my Thirty-One business, and now through Simmer Down. What started as a vendor event has become something so much more. It has helped both businesses grow, connected us with the most incredible customers, and created friendships with fellow vendors that feel more like a family reunion every year.

We’ve had the blessing of watching not only Fall Fest grow, but the farm itself grow so tremendously that it needed to move to a bigger home. Watching the Kuchta family continue to pour their hearts into this event and seeing the blessings unfold year after year has been something truly special.

This is our favorite event of the entire year. The one our family counts down to. The one where we get to see familiar faces, make new memories, and feel so incredibly grateful to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

And honestly? Fall Fest is the entire reason Simmer Down was born. We wanted to keep showing up at the event we love so much, and God opened a door we never could have imagined. What began as a way to continue being vendors has become a blessing of its own. 🍎

I’ll be wearing my Kuchta Farms hoodie with SO much pride — not just because of what this event has brought to our family and our businesses, but because of the blessings I continue to witness being poured out over the Kuchta family and every family who gets to experience this beautiful farm.

The hard work, the love, the generosity, the community… you can feel God’s presence in it all.

Thank you, Kuchta family, for creating a place where people come as strangers and leave feeling like family. Thank you for believing in small businesses, supporting dreams, and giving families memories they’ll carry forever.

We love you. We love this farm. And we are already counting down until next year. 🤎

Forever grateful to be part of the Kuchta Farms family.
