Farmer's Market is FUN!

Yah, you heard me right - dragging an ez-up tent and cinder blocks around can be fun!

Well, thankfully, I have my dad (pictured here) doing the dragging for the most part ;-) But I'm meeting a bunch of folks up at the Berkeley Springs Farmer's Market (I'm there on Thursdays 2-5) - selling eggs, lamb and yarn - and my mom's really cool stuff made WITH my yarn!

You can check out the information on the market - http://www.berkeleyspringsfarmersmarket.com

Or just come and visit me ;-) and shop a bit! I'll be the one wearing the shirt with the infamous rooster! (More about a STOLEN rooster art piece next blog entry)

A logo, A logo!

Finally! We have a logo!

Doesn't seem like a big deal, but I've been struggling, or shall we say, been having an 'identity' crisis for about a year now.

Goat page has Amos and Andy, the farm has featured Chloe on the back hill. Great when I was just doing informational/resource and promotion. Now I'm selling stuff. And lots of different stuff.

So the question was, how do I represent everything I'm producing (lamb, yarn, eggs, pork, goat, website design) all in one logo?

HA!

We use a ROOSTER!

Thanks to my very talented neighbor...
we have Rowdy the Roo (well, a modern representation thereof)...struttin' his stuff...


More on where we are selling our products soon!

Cub Scout Bluebird House Project on the farm

I am very thankful to Amanda and her Pack 120 of Hedgesville! Her boys dressed up our farm last week while providing secure nesting spots for bluebirds. Sustaining the habitat of the Eastern Bluebirds is a priority here, as they originally suffered a huge decline in the 70s. This beautiful chattery bird helps control the mosquito population (we have a pond right next to our house) and is a welcome sign of spring.

Not a day after the houses went up - I spotted a prospective resident!

More pictures will be added to the photo album as I have time.


Happy birdwatching!
