Dear Valued Customers of Ararat Farms,

 We hope this message finds you well and enjoying the bounty that our farm and community have to offer. Since our inception, Ararat Farms has been committed to providing our community with high-quality, locally-sourced produce and goods. It has been our privilege to serve as a cornerstone in our community, offering not just food, but a place for connections and shared values around sustainability and health.

 However, like many small businesses and farms across the country, we find ourselves navigating through an increasingly challenging economic landscape. The costs of labor, ingredients, and other essential inputs to our operations have risen significantly, a trend reflected across the food industry. These changes impact our ability to continue operating at our current pricing without compromising the quality and variety you've come to expect and cherish.

 After careful consideration and with a heavy heart, we must inform you that we will be implementing price adjustments across our range of products. This decision was not made lightly. It is a necessary step to ensure the sustainability of our farm and the continued availability of the products you love.

 We understand that price changes can be concerning, and we want to assure you that we are committed to transparency and fairness in this process. These adjustments will allow us to maintain the quality of our offerings, support our dedicated team, and continue contributing to our community's well-being through sustainable farming practices.

 We are immensely grateful for your ongoing support, understanding, and loyalty as we navigate these times. Together, we can continue to foster a resilient community, bound by the love of good food and the shared commitment to the environment and local economy.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to welcoming you at our farm store and continuing to serve you with the best our land has to offer.

 Warmest regards,

The Ararat Farms Team
