Another one for the memory book. ❤️🐐🐑
Thank you, Butler Farm Show, for a week we will always cherish. What a week. What a ride. And what a way to wrap up a year we’ll never forget.
We are walking away incredibly grateful—not just for the banners and championships, but for the friendships, the lessons, the late nights, the early mornings, the hard work, the happy tears, and all of the people who cheered these kids on along the way.
🏆 Grand Champion Market Goat — Will Schwalm
His final year of 4-H, and what a way to go out! We couldn’t be more proud of him and the young man he has become through years of hard work, dedication, and showing livestock.
🏆 Grand Champion Market Lamb — Hattie Schwalm, age 11
What a moment for our girl! Watching her work so hard, learn, grow, and then have it all come together in the show ring was something we will never forget. ❤️
And then there’s Goodness Grows Farm & Food. 🌱🚚
Our first year bringing the food truck to the Butler Farm Show—and WOW. To say it was an overwhelming success would be an understatement. We were blown away by the support, the encouragement, the long lines, the empty trays, and especially all of the kind words from people who took the time to tell us how much they loved the food.
We started Goodness Grows with a dream of bringing our farm, our family, and our food together—and this week felt like a pretty incredible glimpse of what that dream can become.
From the show ring to the food truck, this week reminded us why we do what we do. Family. Hard work. Good food. Community. And a whole lot of goodness growing. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, ordered a meal, cheered for our kids, shared a post, sent a picture, offered a helping hand, or simply encouraged us along the way.
We are tired. We are humbled. We are incredibly grateful.
And we are already looking forward to the next chapter.
Butler Farm Show 2026—you were one for the books. 🐐🐑🏆🚜❤️
