🎉✨ Happy Hogmanay from all of us at Ridge & Valley Appalachian Farm!

In Scotland, Hogmanay is the heart of winter celebrations—a time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new with warmth, joy, and tradition. From first-footing (bringing gifts to friends and neighbors) to spectacular fire festivals, it’s all about starting the year with good fortune and community spirit.

Our Highland cows are ready to “hoof” into the New Year too, spreading their charm and Highland magic for 2025! 🐮❤️

Here’s to new beginnings and brighter days ahead. Slàinte mhath! 🥂

🐮✨ As 2024 comes to a close, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you for being part of our Ridge & Valley family this year. Your support and love for our Highland cows mean everything to us! ❤️

We can’t wait for 2025 and the joy of sharing all the beautiful calves we’ll welcome into the world. Here’s to a New Year filled with happiness, Highland magic, and more adventures together.

Warm wishes,
Elly & Cameron Lafkin

🐮✨ Happy Boxing Day from Ridge & Valley Appalachian Farm! Did you know this day has its roots in Scottish tradition? Originally, it was a time to give back, sharing boxes of gifts or food with workers and those in need. ❤️

Today, we’re embracing the spirit of generosity and enjoying some peaceful moments with our Highland cows. 🐾 Whether you’re giving, relaxing, or just soaking in the holiday joy, we wish you the best! 🎄
