Winter 2013 – New Projects

We are discovering new things to do and new products for 2013.

Dobro & Saddle

Dobro getting used to his saddle

 

 

Starting with Dobro, at six years old, for the first time trying out a saddle. He looks happy enough for a new experience!

Thank you, Dobro, for being so calm and responsive.

And thanks, also, to Steve Edwards of Queen Valley Mule Ranch for training the rider.  Dobro already knew what to do.

 

 

Surprise Earrings

We introduced wool do-it-yourself kits at craft fairs before the holidays. Amy demonstrated how to make wool earrings from our new kit at the Cambridge, NY Holiday Craft Fair.

Crochet Your Own Wool Hat

 

 

We also introduced a new Crochet Your Own Striped Hat.

We love the beautiful fleece from May, Amelia, and Sky.

 

Mushroom Site

Another exciting change is our newly-started project growing Shiitake mushrooms, using hardwoods on the farm and help from the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York workshops.  Dan is checking out this site under the shade of hemlock trees
and well out of the wind.

 

We plan to write about the changes as they happen in the coming weeks.
