Eight years ago, I planted two English walnut trees in my pasture. With my Jersey milk cow herd growing exponentially every year, my little saplings were getting a little beat up, bruised, and nibbled on. Too big to move now, we had to come up with another solution. Ta da! Farmhands Kim and Andy to the rescue.
My animals at the farm give me great joy. Their sweet little faces greet me in the morning, wish me a good night, and for the most part … they behave. But on certain occasions, animals will be animals … and no amount of training can save you from their antics. These are their crimes! (Shot with bad lighting like those shocking mug shots we see of movie stars.)
Actually, it was her sister, who’s gone now. (And not because she ate the chicken.)
Gorgeous!!!! Children’s clothing made from vintage linens and used clothing were sent our way to be juried for Project F.A.R.M. (First-class American Rural Made) certification.
The detail and care sewn into these are awesome! Impressive. Wish you could hold them in your hands. But wait, you can. Here’s where you can buy some of Dawn Baker’s Designs (db Designs) for your very own. She also takes custom orders for everything from furniture to architectural elements to ballerina wedding dresses. Check her out for yourself!
Me and Maggie … we had it good. Long walks, toasty toes, lounging about together … we never wanted to be apart. It was summer love. She was so dreamy … all about peace and the earth … I was taken. But alas, she is on her way … in this week’s giveaway.
To win, just tell me why you’re also IN LOVE with Maggie’s Functional Organics!
A mini reusable zipper pouch and a black necklace with matching earrings, a tote, and a
scarf, all handmade from upcycled materials, were sent our way to be juried for Project F.A.R.M. (First-class American Rural Made) certification. Told by designer Stephanie M. Dejoseph (La Mia Designs) that we could keep them (WOW!), we decided to share the hand-embroidered “Farm Fresh Produce” tote and the super soft, matches-any-outfit, one-of-a-kind scarf.
Modeled by our beautiful graphic designer, Karina Elzinga, the first person to tell us what CSA they were signed up for this past summer gets the “Farm Fresh Produce” tote.
And for the first person to tell us you’ve already been snowed on (come on Dakota!), the gorgeous scarf apparently needs to be sent to you.
Round of applause for Stephanie M. DeJoseph of La Mia Designs!!!!!!
