You know you have a good Valentine when he’s cleaning out the fridge after days without power. 💓 And the power is now BACK ON! 💥 Deliveries and farmers market are happening this week. We are counting ourselves among the lucky ones. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

The old generator is working! And a fancy shmancy newly rented one is being installed. All deliveries are a go this week! And we'll be at the Beaverton Farmers Market this Saturday, too! What a wild few days. We are hoping that you all are doing okay through this. #supportyourfarmers #farmtotable #icestorm

The power is out at the farm. The livestock are fine. Our cellphone service is spotty, and our land line is down. Luckily our wood stove is going great, because we couldn’t get the generator going. We appreciate your patience over the next few days! We won’t be able to check or respond to messages well. We hope you are doing ok with your own ice and power situations. (Any posts you see over the next couple days are coming from Evelyn who is up in Beaverton and has power and internet still.) ❄️

The Beaverton Farmer's Market is canceled Saturday

The Beaverton Farmer's Market is canceled Saturday, February 13th because of the possibility of ice! Our family loves snow and we have done a couple of markets in the snow. However, ice can be dangerous for our customers, staff and ourselves. For that reason, the market is canceled and we are staying home this Saturday. We will snuggle some baby goats and prepare for our upcoming Stanford trip. Our booth will be back in action Saturday, February 20th. We are adding extra spots to the Beaverton-area home delivery on Thursday, February 18th. Order form link is in our bio on Instagram, and at the top of our Facebook page in the “Quick Links” post.

Thank you for your understanding and stay safe and warm! ❄️

We were talking with one of our customers at last

We were talking with one of our customers at last week’s first Beaverton Farmers Market, and she said that we should definitely post more baby goat photos. 💓🐐

THANK YOU everyone for your help with our Californ

THANK YOU everyone for your help with our California housing for John and Patty’s kidney surgeries. We found a lovely house 10 minutes from the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. With our housing, airfare, and car rental all booked, we can breathe a sigh of relief that logistics are covered and we are ready for transplant. Surgery is March 17, and we will go down for a mandatory quarantine period 10 days before.

Thank you all again for your generosity towards our family and farm. We appreciate you all so much.

✨This post is especially for friends or friends-

✨This post is especially for friends or friends-of-friends in the Bay Area, specifically Palo Alto.✨ We are trying to find a house or apartment to rent during John and Patty’s kidney surgeries at Stanford. Patty will be donating a kidney and John will be receiving it. We have our flights and a car reserved, but we are having trouble finding any options for a short-term house to rent. We will be in Palo Alto for the surgeries from March 7-April 24. The surgery date is March 17, and we will be coming down for a mandatory quarantine period ten days beforehand (we—Patty and Mike—will be fully vaccinated, but the quarantine is still mandatory pre-surgery). If you know of any options or friends who might know, please share our post or email patty@lonelylanefarms.com. Thank you all! 💓

We can’t wait to see you Saturday at the Beaverton Farmers Market! We are in a new spot, so we drew up this handy map for you. 🙂

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who part

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the John’s Journey Fun Run! Your photos have brought us so much joy. And thanks to your generosity, John’s Journey is just $10K away from meeting its fundraising goal AND getting a full $10K match from COTA. All funds donated are tax deductible and go toward a lifetime of transplant support for kids like John. We can breathe easier knowing these funds are available as we go through the transplant process now and in the future.

John’s Journey Fun Run is on the cover of “Our Town”! We couldn’t be more grateful to our local paper. The outpouring of support from all of you in our community continues to blow us away. Is also makes us so happy to see John proud to share what’s happening and teach others about kidney disease and the transplant process. 💕

This coloring page is from a student in John’s class who just started at Butte Creek Elementary this school year. He didn’t know any students. He said that he liked John right away and wanted to be his friend. 🌈

This note came with the drawing: “We support you all and will be praying for a successful surgery and a quick recovery!”

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of our John’s Journey supporters. Your notes and photos mean so much!

♥️ Love this homemade sign and all the photos that keep coming in for the John’s Journey Fun Run! They make us so happy. Make sure you take a look at the doggie wearing the John’s Journey shirt! 🦴🤣

If you missed our latest update, John’s kidney transplant surgery will likely be happening sometime between now and the spring. Find out more on the John’s Journey page: COTAforJohnsJourney.com. (Link in bio on Insta.)

NEW JOHN UPDATE. 💕 Visit COTAforJohnsJourney.com for the latest. Coronavirus continues to impact our kidney transplant plans. We were almost scheduled for the end of this month, but with virus cases continuing to rise, our medical team is choosing to wait. Read a lot more about it on our COTA site (link in bio on Insta).

For John’s birthday today we went for a walk at the Mount Angel Abbey wearing our John’s Journey Fun Run shirts. We were checking on the new baby goats! Light blue is John’s favorite color, which is why the shirts are blue. We LOVE seeing everyone wearing them and coloring the coloring page.

Fun Run is extended through next Sunday—we can’t wait to share more photos. 🌈

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN!!! Thanks to all of you, we h

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN!!! Thanks to all of you, we have smiles on our faces and we are getting closer and closer to our full $10K bonus match from the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA). If we reach our $100,000 goal, COTA awards John’s Journey extra funds. Your donations go directly to COTA for kids like John to support a lifetime of transplant-related expenses. One thing we weren’t aware of when we started this journey is the lifetime care needs for transplant patients. Your amazing support means we feel so much more prepared and secure for this journey. 💕
