Summer Time New Beginnings

Well I am back, yes I have been gone for a while sorry about that but life did seem to get in the way! Floyd & I have been very busy since last fall, we have a nice farm that is 1810 years old and we have called it, Brier Wood Farm: Our mandate with our farm is that we are raising our own food and also providing food for sale. We will not feed our animals, antibiotics, growth hormones or any feed that is not natural. We are allowing them free range but also giving them the respect that they deserve as they are our food! This year all of my meat birds are spoken for and we are going to expand next year into the area of beef cattle, pork & lamb each of these will be ordered on demand only so we will have them all ready sold when we get them! We feel that people are starting to want to know where their food is coming from & how they are being treated & fed, these 2 things are very important to us also.

We also are planning on having 2 rooms in our farm-house that will be for rent, all your meals will be included with the one price! How great is that :) I know when we go away we are always trying to get things included. I have a studio where I do my creating in and that is where I do my workshops and that is in the back of our house which the large picture window in the studio faces the meadow were the animals are grazing, so that also inspires me or just plain gives me joy!

The animals that we are raising for fibre are Alpacas, Cotswold Sheep and Angora Rabbits. Yes I am a little on the wild side I love my fibre… I am also eco friendly in the way that I process it I wash it myself and dry it outside and then I decide what I may doing with it :) Here are some pictures for you I hope you enjoy will be back on in a few days TA for now…

I will be posting some pictures of the farm house and rooms in a few days!
