Meet the Artist Open Studio + Naked Soap Sale

If you are in the northern Vermont area, please consider joining us at our Studio in St. Albans for Meet the Artist Open Studio Weekend, Friday, June 24 - Sunday, June 26th.

During Open Studio...

...take a peek into our production area, ask questions, and learn how our products are made.

...test your nose and see how many essential oils you can identify.  The best nose of the weekend wins a $30 gift certificate!

...shop all of our products for 20% off, all weekend!

We're also hosting our Fourth Annual Naked Soap Sale that weekend, starting Saturday at 10:00 am.  If you are wondering, our Naked Soap Sale offers soaps in their birthday suits at very low prices.  These soaps are often cosmetic seconds, seasonal over-runs, or fragrance test batch soaps.  All are perfectly good soaps made with our gentle formulas. Supplies are limited.

Meet the Artist is a new event sponsored by the Vermont Hand Crafters celebrating Vermont's community of artists and their creative process. Other artists participating in the area include mixed media artist Meta Strick in Fairfield and potters Cheryl & Steve Grundon in Fletcher.  Make a day of it and visit all three studios! For a complete list of participating artists and a studio map, please visit Vermont Hand Crafters.

Spring Shearing

 

Spring is a busy time on our farm, as we work to transition the animals from their cozy winter quarters to pastures filled with tender new grasses. Long days are spent moving fences and mucking. 

Shearing day is always a big event, and as it nears we keep our fingers crossed for gentle weather as our goats loose their thick winter fleeces. 

Mosby, our flat coat retriever, thought it was great fun to drag some of the shorn fleeces out of the barn and into the grass. (You can see we had some felting issues with our fleeces this year.   Normally the locks fall into individual curls.)

At one point Mosby had the fleece fully wrapped around himself and it looked like he was in a sleeping bag.  He's such a goof!

Millie, one of our original mommas, was just shorn in this photo. At 11 years old, she's a bit worn out from all the activity and was ready for a little nap.  She's a vocal goat and cracks me up with all of the sounds she makes as she yawns!  

Now on to the gardens. Weeds, weeds, everywhere.... but I do think these are just beautiful against our old barn. :) 

Happy Spring!
