Mother’s Day Weekend Recap 📸

I’m still swooning over this Mother’s Day session at Silver City Ghost Town. There is something so timeless about the historic backdrop of the Kern River Valley paired with these stunning black gowns.

This shoot was such a highlight of the weekend. It was a beautiful reminder that Mother’s Day isn't just a date on the calendar, but about celebrating these incredible bonds every day.

Hey everyone, Jo here from Horns & Thorns. We are officially launching our YouTube channel, but here’s the thing: it’s not just about our farm. It’s about this community.
I’m looking for local makers, fellow homesteaders, and creators who want to be featured in our first season. If you’re making magic in your kitchen, your garden, or your workshop, I want to come interview you and show off what you’re doing.

Tag a local legend in the comments or DM me if you’re ready for your close-up. Let’s get to work!

WIN A BAG OF THE NEW CANYON CRUNCH!

While I’m resting up this week to get my back shop-ready for Monday, I’ve been thinking about how much I appreciate this community. To celebrate the launch of our brand-new Canyon Crunch, I’m giving away a few bags to some lucky neighbors!

These are my new favorite—crunchy,dark chocolate clusters with a serious toasted-rice snap. They’re rugged, handmade, and way too easy to eat by the handful.

How to Enter:

1. LIKE this post to show some love to the hens and the baker! 🐔🥖

2. TAG a friend who needs a chocolate fix in the comments (each tag is an entry!).

3. SHARE this post to your Story or Feed to help spread the word about Horns & Thorns! (Make sure to tag me so I see it!)

I’ll be picking three winners this Sunday evening to be picked up with your Friday orders next week.

Thank you all for the kind messages while I’m on the mend—I can’t wait to get back to the oven for you all on Monday! 🏔️✨
