Ideas to pique your creativity
Lots of ideas to use Lambs Tales goods.
Use your Lambs Tales Farm products for More
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to keep a secret?
Here are a few slightly less obvious uses for our products. This is not a comprehensive list! Let us know about your creative uses for our products and we might add them to next year’s version of this list!
Animals:
Wool roving & yarn make some amazing handicrafts possible. Felted needle project are quite the current rage among crafters. Re-usable coffee cup sleeves in custom team or company colors are a great gift idea, are “green” and work well!
Did you know that goats can eat poison oak, ivy and sumac without any ill effects? And they love Himalayan blackberries if you have noticed your blackberry canes multiplying. Maybe you want to start a goat rental company to eradicate rashes among your neighbors. Goats will eat practically anything so supervision is definitely required!
Herbs:
Rosemary is known as a tick & mosquito repellent. We can’t guarantee it’s effect, but it smells much better than bug spray! It also adds a lovely mild smell when hung to dry in attics or other potentially musty areas.
And if Rosemary fails to repel all the mosquitoes, just rub a little bit of lavender on it to kill the itch and reduce your stress levels at the same time!
Fruit:
Pressing Apples into cider is a fun fall/winter activity. Wait for the first frost and then track down a cider press. The flavor is amazing in fresh cider!
Ready to try your hand at natural dyes? Blueberries and cherries provide a soft, fully natural dye option. Perfect for tie-dye enthusiasts or if you wanted to turn a soft cream roving into a beautiful blue or crimson yarn!
A trip down the road
Lambs, Kids, and Calves
AKA Work as a Ranch Hand
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to keep a secret?
Spring calves are here… or at least nearby!
Lambs Tales Farm raises flocks of sheep & goats and just down the road a neighbor is raising cows. Even with a pandemic swirling around us, nature keeps to it’s rhythms and spring calves have made their arrival.
We spent a busy May day lending a hand with calving. Calves arrive with wobbly legs,the softest curly hair, large eyes and a sense of curiosity! They also have very protective mothers that don’t want too many visitors nearby. :)
If you’re looking for calves or cows, reach out to us and we’ll put you in touch with our neighbors.
