🐰Bunny Adoption Day - THIS Saturday at Rock Island Farm🐰

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

Rock Island Farm Family,

Normally, when we host a bunny adoption event, we pack up the barn and bring the bunnies to you. This time, we’re asking you to come to us. 🐰

On Easter Sunday, our family faced a crisis we could have never prepared for — one that nearly cost Dave, our husband and father, his life. The days since have been about survival, healing, and holding on to the things that matter most.

As much as we love showing up for all of you — right now, we need to stay close to home instead of hosting a booth at the Gillman's Swap in Glen Allen. So this Saturday, May 3rd, we’re inviting you to Rock Island Farm for a special in-person adoption day, right where these bunnies were raised.

🐰What’s different this time:
🌿 You'll come to the farm instead of a pop-up location.
🌿 You'll meet our family — Grandpa Bill, Emily, Mateo, Matty, and Betsy — who will be here to help match you with your perfect bunny.
🌿 You’re welcome to bring fishing poles for the pond, blankets, and chairs to enjoy a peaceful morning while you wait your turn to meet the bunnies calmly and safely.

All available bunnies — along with their mothers' information and birthdates — are listed on our website now. Please RSVP if you’re planning to attend so we can make the day flow smoothly for everyone.

Thank you for standing with us and we can't wait for you to welcome a snuggle bunny into your home.

🐰Love,
The Rock Island Farm Family
Betsy, Dave, Matty, Grandpa Bill, Emily, and Mateo

Holiday markets, Virginia edition

Hi friends, Quick note to say: if you’re anywhere near Haymarket, VA this Saturday, something quietly good is happening. The Holiday Bazaar + tree lighting is one of those small-town afternoons where streets close, music drifts, kids zigzag between booths, and time slows down just enough to notice it. If you’ve ever lived overseas — especially in Europe — you might recognize the feeling. Holiday markets had a way of doing that. This feels like our version. I’ll be there with Weld + Wire...

What if we counted the saves?

September 5, 2025 Friends, I’ve been sitting with this thought, and I finally wrote it down. What if suicide prevention wasn’t measured in funerals? What if, instead of repeating 22 veterans die a day, we actually knew how many survived? What if every hospitalization, every 988 call, every rope or pill a caregiver hid was counted as the prevention it really was? My veteran has survived nine suicide-related hospitalizations since 2014. Each one was a save. But none of them exist in America’s...
