Celebrating National Farmer’s Day! 🌾🚜

This picture brings back so many memories. When my son was little the highlight of his day was to get to sit on a tractor with my dad. My dad farmed when I was growing up, so I had a front-row seat to the hard work, long hours, and sacrifices that come with farming.

Growing up that way gave me a deep appreciation for the people who work tirelessly to feed our families and keep our communities going. Farming is more than a job , it’s a way of life that takes dedication, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.

Today, we celebrate the farmers who work behind the scenes, through every season and every kind of weather, to provide so much for all of us. We’re grateful for you and all you do! 🌱

Happy National Farmer’s Day from our family to yours! 🚜💚

Be sure to thank a local farmer today!

📬 Happy World Post Day! 💌

Behind every letter, package, birthday card, and special delivery is a postal worker helping keep our communities connected!

Today, we’re celebrating World Post Day and showing a little love to our very own Hahira Post Office! Did you know World Post Day is celebrated every year on October 9th to recognize the role postal services play in connecting people and businesses around the world? 🌎

🏤 A few fun facts:
📬 The Universal Postal Union was established in 1874 to help make international mail delivery easier.
💌 Postal services do more than deliver mail, they help connect families, support local businesses, and bring important information right to our doorsteps.
🚚 In a small town like Hahira, our local post office is an important part of what keeps our community running!

We also want to give a special shout-out to two of the friendly faces serving our community: Jimeson, a mail carrier who has been with the post office for 2 years, and Tim, a clerk who has been there for 8 years! Thank you both for the work you do to keep Hahira connected. ❤️📦

We believe strong communities are built by the people who show up and serve their neighbors every day. Today, we’re thankful for our local postal team and all they do!

Help us spread a little Hahira love! Drop a 📬 in the comments to show our local post office some appreciation! 👇

It’s so fun walking down the sidewalks of Hahira and seeing folks out and about. Last week I ran into Matt Johnson, owner of City Barber Shop. I learned that Matt took over the business 3 years ago from his Uncle Jimmy who had owned it since 1966. He specializes in men’s cuts but will happily welcome anyone!

Where there is a barber pole, there will be a barber. 💈 Did you know the iconic red, white, and blue stripes have a history dating back centuries? They are a classic symbol of the barbering trade and a reminder of the tradition, craftsmanship, and community that come with a good old-fashioned barbershop. 💈✂

Go check out the City Barber Shop in Hahira and say hello to Matt!

We’re proud to partner with the City of Hahira Fire Department and help support their fire-safety education efforts this Fire Prevention Week! 🚒❤️

We recently donated a Fire Prevention Week safety kit to the department, and we’re so glad to see our local firefighters putting these resources to work in our community.

Fire Prevention Week is October 4–10, 2026, and this year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.” The campaign focuses on safely charging the lithium-ion batteries found in everyday devices like phones, laptops, tools, toys, e-bikes and scooters. Simple habits—like using the manufacturer-approved charger, charging on a hard surface, and unplugging devices when they’re fully charged can help prevent fires.

A huge THANK YOU to the folks at the City of Hahira Fire Department for keeping our community safe and for teaching others how to do the same. We’re grateful for you! ❤️🚒

Let’s all charge safely and keep Hahira safe!

I bet you didn’t know there was an amazing yoga studio AND clogging classes right here in Hahira! I’d say it’s the best-kept secret, but I think this picture of a group of smiling faces proves it’s not really a secret, it’s just one of Hahira’s many treasures! 💎🧘‍♀️

Meet Sissie Tait, who moved her jewelry store, Sissie’s Jewels and Treasures, from Lakeland to Hahira in 2018 after being in business there since 2007. Shortly after the move, Sissie and her husband, Todd, added a yoga studio, and I’ve been a proud patron ever since!

But that’s not all! Sissie is also a licensed massage therapist, offers clogging classes, and she and Todd are incredibly talented jewelers. I’ve personally had rings sized there, and they do beautiful work.

What makes Sissie’s so special is just how unique it is. Where else can you shop for beautiful jewelry, take a yoga class, get a massage AND learn to clog all under one roof? We are pretty lucky to have all of that right here in Hahira.

And if you know Sissie, you know she is truly one of a kind. She is colorful, positive, joyful and just an absolute ray of sunshine. ☀️ She’s one of those people who makes the world a happier place, and inspires me to be better every day.

Ok, no now the question is WHO is going to yoga with me next?! 🤣♥️

There are certain customers who walk through your doors each month and just make your day a little better. Meet Lemodis Lawrence, one of our favorite friendly faces.

Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day, and we couldn’t let the day pass without recognizing the man who keeps facilities in The City of Hahira clean, safe, and secure.

He truly has a way of making people feel good just by being himself. So, naturally, we had to get him a cup that says “Day Maker.” Because that’s exactly what he is to us. ♥️

Lemodis, thank you for all you do for our community and for the joy and kindness you bring wherever you go. We appreciate you more than you know!

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day to you and all of the hardworking custodians who help keep our schools, businesses, churches and communities running behind the scenes. ♥️

If you see Lemodis out and about today make sure you say Thank You!

You may not know this, but before State Farm, I was a hairstylist, and I had the privilege of working at Sublime. Some days that chapter of my life feels like a hundred years ago, and other days it feels like yesterday.

Today is National Hair Day AND the beginning of National Women’s Small Business Month, and I can’t think of a better woman to celebrate than SueAnn Barrett. ❤️

SueAnn is the owner of Sublime Salon in downtown Valdosta, along with her husband, Oliver. But to me, she’s so much more than a talented salon owner.

I’ve always looked up to SueAnn. Her talent is undeniable, but what I’ve admired just as much is her business sense, her creativity, and the way she has built something truly special. She is still my personal stylist today, and somehow she always manages to make me leave her chair feeling a little more beautiful, and a lot more confident. ❤️

But one of the things I’ll always be most grateful for is how much SueAnn and Oliver believed in me. They believed in me when I did hair, and they still support me now.

When I decided to leave hair and open my State Farm office, they were some of my biggest cheerleaders and allowed me to help with all things insurance. That kind of encouragement stays with you.

SueAnn, thank you for being such a positive influence in my life. Not just as a stylist, but as a businesswoman, mentor, friend and someone I continue to admire all these years later.

Happy National Hair Day to all the amazing stylist out there, and cheers to you and all the women who have the courage to build something of their own! ❤️

This October, Country Love Soul Food & Bar-B-Que will celebrate 8 years of being open right here in Hahira! 🎉

When she opened her doors in 2018, her goal was simple: bring something to Hahira that was missing at the time which was good, home-cooked soul food. And if you’ve ever had their fried chicken, you already know why it has become such a fan favorite! 🍗

Trista Walker, the beauty and brains behind the business, loves her regulars. When I was visiting with her this past Friday I noticed how she knew everyone’s name and could guess what their orders would be. She truly has a following, and if you know Trista you can see why. She radiates warmth, kindness, and love in everything she does. I’m honored she chose us to help her with their business insurance from day one.

Be sure to follow their page for their weekly menu and see what’s cooking!

Help me wish Trista a Happy 8 Years here in Hahira!
