🐰✨ Rock Island Farm Neighbor, You Need This. (And So Do I.)

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I know life is busy. The to-do list never ends, and somehow, we always put ourselves last on it.

So, I’m asking you—as a friend, as a neighbor—to press pause for a moment and do something just for the pure joy of it.

✨ Step away from the hustle.
✨ Soak up some fresh country air.
✨ Snuggle a ridiculously soft, tiny bunny.

Yep, you read that right. Bunny snuggles. And honestly? I think we could all use some.

Just for you!

🐰 Snuggle Bunny Pop-Up @ D&S Farm Supply Grand Opening!
📅 Saturday, March 22, 2025
📍 D&S Farm Supply & Outdoors, LLC, Scottsville, VA
🔗 Full event details here

For $5, you get 5 minutes (up to 20 minutes) of pure, fluffy, stress-melting happiness.

And every single snuggle helps us bring FREE Bunny Breaks to military and caregiving families who need a little extra love this year.

So, what do you say? Let’s ditch the stress for a day, show up for our community, support a new local business, and maybe even leave with a little more joy than we came with.

I’ll be there—with bunnies, frosted sugar cookies, and farm fresh eggs... oh, and probably with coffee.

Hope you’ll come too.

🐰Love,
Betsy, Dave and Matty - Team Rock Island Farm

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...
