7 Years, 682 Blog Posts

They say that like 99.9 % of all blogs are abandoned, living lives of quiet desperation - unread, un-updated, and un-taken down.  Just out there in cyberspace, casualties of lost enthusiasm.  Of big plans scaled down.  Of hyperbole tamed.

So our 2 blog posts a week, for 7 years, stands out as a remarkable effort of retained enthusiasm and effort.  It's one of those things that just can't be faked, and one of the first things to go when a business hits a bump of prosperity or outlook.  On the same hand, it's one of those things that can be out prioritized as a business grows and demands on time grow severe.

The Blog of Catskill Farms is a regular testament to our legitimacy, our survival, our progress, our focus and our belief that our clients get what we are doing, not just with our homes, but our general approach to business and life.

Very few marketing efforts trust their clients and potential clients enough to tell the truth.  The personalization of our message, from Me to You, is an easy thing to take or leave - and luckily for us, enough families choose to take it to keep us in business for 11 years.

And to me, as the writer and editor, its a neat way to organize my thoughts and efforts when so much is won and lost on a daily basis.
