I am Robin Thames. I met Katie Cade and her family thru girl scouts. Her family is very dear to me.

From Katie

In the early hours of this morning Anderson & Jules experienced a huge loss. I was woken up by the Lee County Fire Department at my door informing me of a large fire in the field. I ran outside to see our chicken coop a total loss. We are completely devastated. Our chickens were family, all with their own special personalities, we cherished and loved each of them.

I’m asking everyone to please say a prayer for my family as we navigate the emotional journey and the financial journey of overcoming this. My poor babies are heartbroken as they have lost all 22 of their pets at once, along with our coop that we built together as family. The coop that started Anderson & Jules.

Thank you to everyone who has bought eggs from us this past year. I know you guys will miss “Chicken of the week” shoutouts as much as us.
