My brother moved to a new house, and his new next-door neighbor had farm fresh eggs and brought him a basket as a housewarming gift, and told him if he ever needed more just hang the basket over the back fence. I was excited to find a new supplier and approacher her. She was willing to sell them to me for $1.00 a dozen, what a great price!
I was thrilled, and was buying them from her for about 10 weeks. Suddenly she doesn't answer tne phone, and she doesn't return my calls anymore.
I mentioned it to my brother. He says, well, it's probably because my niece-in-law (who lives with him) caused a rift. It seems the lady's goats got out of their fenced in pasture and came up on my brother's deck. They were there quite a while, at the flowers, made a mess. My niece-in-law called the lady and very nastily told her if she didn't come and get the goats she was going to call the sheriff.
Now, I was NOT INVOLVED in this transaction at all! And I don't have any bad feelings toward this person, in fact, I know that farm animals sometimes get out, goats in particular are rather resourceful.
So, what should I do? I'd like to keep buying eggs from her. Should I just drive over there and pretend like I don't know the goat story? Or leave a message saying I heard it and please don't mix me up with that rude girl?
Or just find another supplier? I bought organic eggs at the farmer's market a week ago and they were $3.00 a dozen!
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2

I agree w/ Aimee.
You aren't involved. I'd bake the bread or cookies and go over.
Sure I'd be a little miffed too ,but when livestock is concerned, this kind of thing just happens.
Sounds like your nil handled it all wrong anyway |

Bake her some bread and tell her that you disagree with the way you nil handled it. If she has any kind of consceince, she won't hold it against you. you had nothing to do with it.
