The market on Fountain Square in Cincy may turn out to be good. (Every Tues. from 11-2). We have a little hurdle to cross and some decisions to make – but if not having electric and moving booths gets worked out and isn’t detrimental, we could do quite well. People seem to want eco-friendly, healthy and quality made products. I think they appreciate the fact that we raise the dairy goats/bees that help us to produce the products we make.
We will have to travel to the commercial kitchen many times to make our products . . . but there’s a great joy in taking my family down there and all working together to make products out of our beeswax, honey and goat milk that we know is good for our customers and friends.
We have been talking to a very large business that has Amish furniture, cheeses and foods, Antiques and other things for sale that is interested in our products. It is not a done deal yet, but we’re hoping to talk more with them about maybe carrying our products. I’ll let you know more about that later.
We are going to be having our products at the Daylily Farm again this year! Come see Dan and Dana and their wonderful daughters at Sugar Bay Daylilies and shop in their arts and crafts store while you’re there. Free of charge to visit, bring lunch and eat while enjoying the daylilies around you! June and July usually- while the daylilies are blooming.
We start our craft fair season on October 3rd/4th at Lakota West – as of right now, we have 8 shows/boutiques that we have consented to be at. We are still waiting to hear from Lakota East.
The show schedule should quickly be posted on the website – thanks again Pat!
Now if the rain will stop, the evenings/mornings be mild, we will attempt to pull all the weeds that have sprouted and grown like crazy in the past couple of weeks and get 5 acres of mowing done.
I’m off to make some more shaving soaps – today’s line up so far has been: peppermint soap, lemongrass soap and herbal shaving soap (full of bentonite clay to make it slicker than slick). I have some girls that are begging for it because they don’t want to go back to cream. And, not paying attention closely enough – I’ve run out! I have one disc of unscented goat milk shaving soap in stock . . .
Got to get back to work, just thought I’d give you a heads up!!
