It is a rare and precious thing for two young people to find their soulmate at a young age, but this charming barn attraction was built on a foundation of mutual respect, maturity, and a deep connection of pure love and devotion. With a strong sense of family and friendship already established, it was heartwarming to witness the spark between them grow and flourish, ultimately becoming the love story of the decade. I am thrilled to announce that nine years after Henry asked Sammy to homecoming witb a hopscotch proposal in the barn. Henry has got on one knee and asked Samantha to be his bride! Congratulations to a couple whose love was meant to be, and whose bond has grown stronger through the years, enduring through high school, college, and into adulthood, as they begin their new life together. True love is a beautiful thing, and with this engagement, wedding planning can now begin, and our families will officially become one, united by love and a deep sense of connection.

As a farmer this creed always rang true to my heart and believes. It brings a tear to my eye now as I have lived through many decades dedicated to agriculture and the struggles and joys that come with the industry! Its not an easy lifestyle. But I am happy its my lifestyle!

HOW TO CREATE A SHOW GARDEN WITH GUINEA PIGS OR RABBITS AND MAKE MONEY FROM IT

Creating a show garden is a smart way to turn your animal breeding into a public attraction and income stream. Whether you're raising rabbits or guinea pigs, this setup can educate, entertain, and generate profit. Here's a full guide in simple steps:

🏡 STEP 1: CHOOSE A GOOD LOCATION
- Use a clean, quiet space with shade and fresh air.
- It can be your backyard, a small farm corner, or a rented plot.
- Make sure it’s easy for visitors to find and access.

🛠️ STEP 2: BUILD SAFE AND ATTRACTIVE HOUSING
- Use neat cages or hutches with good ventilation.
- Decorate with flowers, signs, and natural elements.
- Make the setup look fun and friendly — like a mini zoo.
- Keep animals safe from predators and harsh weather.

🧼 STEP 3: KEEP IT CLEAN AND SMELL-FREE
- Clean cages daily.
- Use dry bedding and proper waste disposal.
- A clean garden attracts more visitors and keeps animals healthy.

🐰 STEP 4: SELECT FRIENDLY ANIMALS
- Use calm, healthy rabbits or guinea pigs.
- Train them to be used to people and gentle handling.
- Display different breeds to make it more interesting.

🎨 STEP 5: ADD EDUCATIONAL AND FUN ELEMENTS
- Put up signs with animal names, breeds, and fun facts.
- Create small play zones for kids to interact with animals.
- Offer guided tours or storytelling sessions about animal care.

💸 STEP 6: CREATE MONEY-MAKING CHANNELS
Here’s how to earn from your show garden:

✅ ENTRANCE FEE
Charge a small fee for visitors. Offer discounts for families or schools.

✅ PHOTO BOOTH
Let people take pictures with animals. Charge per photo or offer packages.

✅ FEEDING EXPERIENCE
Sell small cups of food so visitors can feed the animals.

✅ SELL PRODUCTS
Sell rabbit manure, guinea pig feed, cages, or breeding guides.

✅ BREEDING SALES
Display animals for sale. Visitors may want to buy after seeing them.

✅ EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
Teach animal care, breeding, or farming basics. Charge for training.

✅ SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT
Post videos and reels of your garden. Monetize your content or attract sponsors.

📢 STEP 7: PROMOTE YOUR SHOW GARDEN
- Use WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and flyers.
- Partner with schools, churches, and local events.
- Offer free visits for influencers or bloggers to spread the word.

🙏 STEP 8: HONOR GOD IN YOUR BUSINESS
- Be honest, kind, and fair to visitors.
- Treat animals with love and care.
- Pray over your work and ask God for wisdom and favor.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

“Your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men.” — Proverbs 18:16

✅ FINAL TIPS
- Start small and grow gradually.
- Keep records of income and expenses.
- Ask for feedback and improve your setup.
- Stay consistent and passionate.
