Upcoming Events!

Its been a long time.  Sorry about that!  You all have been so wonderful we've been too busy!  We  have a few upcoming events to talk about.

September 6-9th we will be at the Hebron Fair this year.  I will be in the local arts tent doing pottery demonstrations and selling pots right from the kiln!  We'll also have other fun stuff we've put together from beeswax like lotion bars and lip balms!

September 15th and 29th we will be sponsoring 2 homesteading days:
EventTitle: Getting Your Goat Homesteading Day

Join us for a fun day of homesteading adventures! Learn about goat care, milking, cheese making, using a cook stove, and how to have lots of fun! We will start at 5pm with a welcome and introduction to goat care, at 6pm we will have a milking demonstration with our girl Cupcake, we will follow this with some basic farmer's cheese making and some baking in the cook stove!
