Recently I made a post about how awesome wool is and it made a few vegans pretty upset.

I was presented with some pretty interesting arguments such as I should not eat my grandfather....I wasn't sure what to say to that one honestly. But many vegans agreed the only ethical path forward is to ignore thousands of years of mutualism and let all sheep go extinct.

My take is more based on the lived experience of a shepherdess. Overall if we are to fight for sustainable systems they need to be place based, the desert Southwest is not suited for vegetable or fruit production but it is a great place to raise sheep. My Hispanic community and local indigenous communities rely on sheep as an important cultural food in large areas that are food deserts. Wool is one of the best sustainable textiles around.

Grateful for my little woolies and honored to keep many rare breeds and natural-colored sheep alive.

When I moved back to the San Luis Valley I bought a little casita near our family farm.

Let us just say it has been a journey and I have a long way to go to restore this old house.

My project this year is the kitchen. I do love old adobe but it can be an extra challenge to fix! Contractors do not want to work on my house so I do most of the work myself.

November is when we fall back and try to slow down with the season. What better way to take some time for yourself but to learn about leather tooling and creating art on leather!

On November 14th from 10am to 1pm, at the Cactus Hill Farm Tiendita it is time to have some fun learning how to carve designs into leather!

Join Bandy Espinoza, from Rafter LC Leatherworks, as she teaches you leather tooling with proper swivel knife technique! You will come away with a piece of art that you created!

Cost of the class is $65 and all tools and materials will be provided. Light snacks and tea and coffee will be available. Class size is limited so make sure to sign up right away!

My family has lived in the San Luis Valley for generations when Colorado was still part of Mexico!

Through family stories over the generations I have heard stories of how these little towns used to look over the years. Unfortunately, corporate greed has not served these rural towns. But I say we stop playing their game and take back our local economies. Every dollar spent supporting local is a vote for the kind of world we want to see.
