Lambs Tales Farm Store is open!
Online Store is Open
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to share?
We’ve launched an online storefront!
Check out our hand-combed and carded Batts, Roving, and hand-carded yarn skeins.
The beautiful and unique colors vary in each fleece. If you want to dye them, feel free but we prefer the natural white, cream, brown, and grays that these friendly sheep provide.
Dried Flowers & Herbs
Flowers all year
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to share?
Have you enjoyed any beautiful flowers this week that you’d like to save?
Summer’s flowers are best for preserving but with care a winter bouquet can be saved also!
The most successful technique we’ve found is using Silica Gel. You can buy it on amazon or at a local craft store. It’s a moisture absorbing powder that dries the flower without altering the vibrant color. (It’s the same product as the “anti-moisture” packets found in packaged foods.)
There are many directions online you can try but the simplest method we’ve used is pouring some silica gel into a clean & dry coffee can. Nestle the flower into the silica and then pour a bit more in so the bloom is fully covered and seal the can.
Leave this for several days and you will have a perfectly preserved flower that looks just as fresh as it did when you put it in the silica container.
With a little practice, you’ll be ready to use silica gel to dry lavender sprigs and peonies from Lambs Tales Farm in just a few months when Summer comes!
January Foods & floods
Wet & Cold? Time for a warm and delicious dinner with local product
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?
Sometimes simple is best. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of rosemary
When rain keeps you indoors, why not expand your cooking repertoire?
A rack of lamb makes an impressive and delicious meal.
If you happened to stockpile some dried or frozen sour cherries last summer, they make a perfect sauce for drizzling of the lamb. Other dried or frozen fruits such as blueberries or prunes would be good too!
If you’re cooking for one, feel free to cut the rack down and make a savory meal with quinoa or millet pilaf for one meal and a sweet fruit sauce with roasted root veggies for a completely different meal.
Lamb is delicious over warmed arugula or rice also. Jasmine or Basmati rice bring their own flavors to the dish.
Send us your best rack of lamb recipes! We’d love to know your favorite flavor combinations for enjoying delicious lamb.
We hope you all are staying dry!
