Dinner Plans
BLT that rivals summer
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to share?
What’s this beautiful salad missing? Bread & Bacon!
Inspired by a YouTube video, We enjoyed a delicious bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich for dinner with just the right amount of mayo.
Or take it upscale by making a rosemary & butter spread instead of using mayo.
Field raised veggies aren’t ready yet, but if you are lucky enough to find a local hydroponic farmer, definitely try their produce. It’s super clean and is fresh & local all year long!

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!
