Dear Readers,
A Year of Reflection
As we near the end of another year, reflecting on the journey we’ve taken over the past months becomes both a rewarding and daunting task. The year 2024 brought its fair share of hurdles, particularly set against a backdrop of economic turbulence marked by uncertainty, rising costs, and global disruptions. Like many small businesses, we’ve felt these challenges deeply, prompting us to make pivotal changes to our operations as we adapted to our new financial realities.
Community and Resilience
Yet, amidst these trials, the power of community, practicality, and hope stands out more than ever. Our optimism for a brighter future hasn’t wavered. Throughout this year, we’ve witnessed remarkable displays of creativity and resilience as businesses, including ours, have pivoted and sought innovative paths forward. These moments reaffirm the belief that even in adversity, new opportunities can emerge.
Looking Ahead
As we wind down the year, we anticipate a brief holiday break, with our activities resuming on January 6, 2025. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support, insightful feedback, and the connections we’ve fostered throughout the year. We’re excited about what lies ahead and eager to continue sharing valuable information with all of you in the coming year. We look forward to reconnecting at upcoming industry events.
Wishing you a peaceful holiday season filled with joy and a hopeful start to what we hope will be a fruitful and successful 2025.
Warm regards,
Peter Link, Vera Oswald, & the Vegconomist Team
