Homemade Buttermints

Just in time for Christmas

Our melt-in-your-mouth mints are handmade in a beautiful, old, farmhouse on a Mennonite dairy farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. You can thank April, the milk cow, for the fresh cream that sets these mints apart. They come beautifully packaged in a half-pint mason jar that can be used for years to come and make a wonderful gift.

​

The proceeds from the purchase of the buttermints go directly to the Beck family as they continue to follow the Lord's leading in the development of Risen Ridge Ministry.

Welcome Dezi!

When Chris and Jen went to Hope's Legacy for the first time in early July, they met Dezi. As they were finishing the tour of the facility with their friend, Chris felt God leading him to an out-of-the-way barn area that they hadn't seen yet. When they saw her, they both became very emotional. At that point, she was only 6 weeks into her rehabilitation and still had a long way to go. You see, on May 31st, Dezi was found locked in a stall with no food or water. She was near death. Even the vet was uncertain if she would survive rehabilitation. As soon as Chris saw her, he knew in his heart that she was meant to come to Risen Ridge. Jen knew that Dezi's background and true demeanor were hidden within that skeletal body and likely wouldn't be known until she was further along in her recovery. Their friend, Courtney, who volunteers with Hope's Legacy and has been their contact with them, became Dezi's person. She kept the director in the loop as to Risen Ridge's interest and they waited for her to regain her physical strength so she could be evaluated. On October 27th, Chris and Jen wanted to go visit Dezi. She had begun to be evaluated under saddle and Courtney was riding her that day. Everyone was very pleased with her! So pleased, in fact, that they allowed 5-year-old Fizzy to ride Dezi. Chris, Jen, and the Risen Ridge board of directors were in agreement, Dezi was meant to become Risen Ridge's 3rd four-legged ministry partner. After almost losing her to an unknown pending trial adoption, God worked it out and Dezi came home on November 4th. 

Hope's Legacy Equine Rescue is expertly skilled in rehabilitating horses. This miraculous transformation only took 5 months. You can read all of Dezi's story as well as see more pictures of her on her page.
