We have been working hard to replenish inventory since the end of the holiday season. Lots of the favorites that we always carry; dryer balls, fertilizer pellets, bags of loose wool etc. We also have a lot more yarn. Natural and hand dyed. Alyson has made a bunch of new colors that really pop. She has also hand knitted 42 new hats since christmas.🤯

At Homesteading weekend, we get to talk about raising our sheep, how we use all parts of their fleeces and a multitude of wonderful products we create from their fiber. The trailer is fully loaded and ready to head to Lake Metropark Farm Park. Look foreward to seeing everyone there.

In farm news today...
The missing goat has been found and safely returned to the barn.
However he brought back a friend.
If anyone is missing their male cat please let us know. He's very friendly and well behaved, unlike the goat 🐐 🙄
