Sheep Shearing Day at the Farm

What a beautiful day for shearing our Icelandic Sheep!!
Icelandic Sheep are sheared twice a year.
Their Fall fleece is much fuller than their
Spring fleece. They are all so happy to get
that wool off before the warm weather sets in.

We are shipping all their beautiful fleece to a fiber mill
to have turned into yarn.  See our web site for available
100% Icelandic Wool Yarn.

Lavender Collection

We have been working on our Lavender Collection.

Bath Salts, Natural Potpourri, Salves, Soy Candles

and Soy Tarts are in the works. We also will

be adding a creamy Goat Milk Lavender Lotion to

this collection this May (stay tuned). We are

so excited about this collection. Lavender is so

calming and relaxing, we all need a little more

of that in our lives.

Rosemary Pruning

When we use to open our Greenhouse in the Spring, the

number one question we would be asked is how to prune

rosemary. As you can tell from the above picture. 

The rosemary on the left was prune last winter the 

one on the right was not pruned.  As you can see pruning

makes the plant much more bushier and healthy looking, plus it

gives you wonderful clippings of rosemary to use

in cooking, bath products and potpourri.
