Coleman's West Shaker Farm and Greenhouses

Coleman's West Shaker Farm and Greenhouses Sadly our business closed and shut down after the unexpected passing of our dad in 2018. We like to keep this page active for memories of our farm.

We were proud to have served the Capital Region for 30+years. šŸ¤

May peace be with you.

It’s been 1,095 days since God called you home. The last three years have not been easy on any of us, but I know in my heart you are here. God needed you for a much greater purpose. I pray that you continue to guide and support me, remembering three simple words you always stood by: ā€˜keep the faith.’ I pray you continue to meet me in my dreams and that you continue to show up when I need you the most. Cheers to you dad, on your third heavenly anniversary.

I’ll be seeing you. šŸ¤

Happy heavenly Fathers Day to my dad, Pat Coleman. It never gets easier; taking every moment of every day, one step at a time. I know you are always with me.

ā€œNot everything is meant to last.
You don’t think about that when it’s perfect.

And when it’s over,
There’s a huge hole.

But also, there’s a pair of wings...

Knowing you, wherever you are,
I know you are happy.
You’re flying.
And free.

And I am here.
Still grateful.
Grateful for knowing you.ā€

I don’t ever share much about my dreams. But today, on my dad’s 61st birthday, I find it fitting to share just •one• of my many visitation dreams I’ve had with my father.

So, here’s the backstory: On the farm, we had white tin numbers, painted red, on each of the greenhouses. When we had to make the difficult decision to close the doors to the business, we all made sure to try and keep some numbers for each of us. I chose 5 and 9, to symbolize dad’s birth year (1959).

The other day, I was scrolling through my phone; not realizing what I had in my ā€œnotes.ā€ I found a note titled ā€œdreams with dadā€... and since I hadn’t had a visitation dream in a while, I decided to read through them. There was one that stood out to me from all the rest, because I never realized the truth behind the numbers in this dream... (in the dream, dad handed me the greenhouse tin sign numbers 2, 3, 5 and 7. Dad was born on the 23rd and he passed on 7/5.)

I feel beyond blessed to experience these dreams and I am so thankful my father shows up to meet me. It’s a feeling I cannot describe. There is no other way to explain it, but it’s peace. Yes, peace.

This was the dream (I write down anything I can remember each time I have them)...

-standing with dad and other people (not very clear who they were) in the head greenhouse. We are taking down the number signs (the red and white numbers) ... 2,3,5,7 . Dad is in a winter hat with winter plaid coat, holding screwdrivers and handing me the numbers. I feel the cold tin numbers, rough and bumpy. Dad said ā€œit’s important to do this... hold on to these for me.ā€

I pray that you continue to meet me and give me these stories to share. Continue to give me hope and most importantly, faith.

Happy •heavenly• birthday to you dad, Pat Coleman. Cheers to 61šŸ»... I’ll be seeing you. šŸ’™

A sweet throwback... when life used to show me its prettiest of days. Never a worry in the world. Will always be so thankful to have been raised on a farm.

Memories to last a lifetime.🌻

9.2.3. Today’s not the easiest of days, but I take comfort in seeing 923 everywhere I go. It’s truly remarkable what people say about spiritual energies and signs from Heaven. I am a firm believer you send me these numbers when I need them the most.

So, cheers today to 923... Happy 60th birthday in Heaven dad, Pat Coleman. I am so thankful for all the signs you share with me, especially the visitation dreams that make Heaven and Earth feel so intertwined. I pray that you continue to share 923 with me wherever I go (and those feathers too!) I’m sure you’re celebrating your special day with a cold beer and endless Kenny Chesney songs in the background. Moving forward is beyond difficult for me, but I know you are here. Cheers to birthday #60... I’ll be seeing you.

7/5/2018 PCšŸ’™
One year. That early morning ring of the phone. The utter chaos. The confusion. The numbness. A roller coaster of emotions. The reality. Life. 58 short years on this sweet Earth. 31 years spent with you. And a spirit that is forever alive and well.

I literally don’t know where the past year went, probably because it’s been nothing but a complete blur. I guess I do know, and have recognized, how precious each day and moment of life really is. In the blink of an eye, everything changed and it was the last thing any of us expected. I take comfort in knowing that God needed you for a much greater purpose... maybe it was to make Heaven and it’s flower gardens a bit more beautiful. Sending endless cheers, hugs and love to you dad, on your First Anniversary in Heaven. I miss you every single day. I love you forever. I know you’re always watching over us and keeping us safe and strong ...šŸ’™ Keep sending me those signs and messages to pass along. I know I will never completely move on, but I will have the strength to always continue to move forward; one day at a time...

It is with such heavy hearts to share that Coleman’s West Shaker Farm and Greenhouses has come to a close. Due to the tragic and unexpected loss of our dad and husband last July, we are physically unable to continue with the business. Patrick was the most well-known and best grower in the Capital District. This was not an easy decision for us, but we take comfort in knowing it was a true blessing to have had this privilege to serve you.

We want to thank all of our customers who have come near and far to support this family run business for well over 20+ years. We appreciate your stories, laughs and most importantly, your kind and generous souls as we made the Capital Region a bit brighter with great selection and product. We thank you for all the years spent at Coleman’s West Shaker Farm and Greenhouses.... we couldn’t have done this without you. It was a true pleasure to have served the Capital Region and to have had a lasting impact on all.

Thank you, and God bless.
