Hello to all!

I’m sure most of you will know who I am, but for those that do not; My name is Connie and my family and I have all been familiar faces at The Big Clifty Farm & Country Store in Big Clifty, KY for the last 4 years.

As you are probably aware by now, the property has recently sold.

I’ve been given the opportunity to purchase the area where the store is currently located and keep things operational as they have been. Change is sometimes a good thing, but in this instance we would very much appreciate your support in helping keep things a locally owned, family business and continue growing to become a permanent staple within the community.

We need your help doing just that; Our goal is $120,000 and we only have until the end of January (with a slight possibility to be granted a little more time if we can for sure obtain funds shortly thereafter.) I’m not asking for a hand-out, I’m asking for your support to keep a small town business thriving in a world where it’s so common to sell out. To keep our Annual Pioneer Days, Fall Harvest Festival, monthly swaps, & Easter Egg Hunts alive in a community where it’s so important to bring people together.

Should we reach our goal, our intention is to add more events, classes, and community get togethers. We do a Back-To-School school supply give away that we would love to grow into a full event (to better serve our communities youth), continue being a location for the monthly Azure Standard drops, and grow overall integrating the community(larger egg hunt for sure, the kids enjoyed it so much )

The current employees love their jobs and this community and want to stay here, too.

I have seven children who see this store as a second home. My teenagers work here during the summer and my youngest have all but grown up in this store.

We aren’t just a store, we are local family and want the chance to remain a part of yours in Big Clifty.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated no matter how big or small. If you’re uncomfortable donating via GoFundMe, please feel free to contact me at the store via phone or in person (If donating in person, I can write you a receipt and show proof where all donated funds will be invested.)

Thank You,

Connie Schmidt and Family
