Thank You Shoppers!

Wild Rose Farm Naturally Dyed Yarns
COG Mini Farmers' Market
We met a nice group of folks today at the Beaver County Council Of Governments "Town & Country: Connecting The Places We Love" event hosted by the Community College of Beaver County. Wild Rose Farm was invited to be part of a "mini farmers' market" at the meeting, representing agriculture & the rural part of the county. We were set up between the Independence Conservancy and Broadrun Farms.
Thank you to the buyers of our yarn today, including a Pennsylvania COG representative from the Harrisburg area … she spent time texting back & forth and sending pictures to a yarn loving friend at home. Now that's a true friend!

Land Camp Clean-up ...

Wild Rose Farm After The Felting Fun ...
Uhhhhh ... I promised pictures, but got caught up in the tour hosting and felting fun, so no pics until the clean-up!  However, Counselor Mike was taking photos, so maybe I'll be able to wrangle some pictures out of him AFTER he survives the Independence Conservancy Land Camp. I was able to tag along yesterday on the Land Camp tour of a regional landfill - sounds "fascinating", eh?  I love one of the tag lines for the camp: When you throw it away, where is away?
Yesterday, we visited away ... very interesting.

The Campers Are Coming!

We are hosting the campers from the Independence Conservancy Land Camp for a short visit this evening. Wild Rose Farm happens to be in the Raccoon Creek Watershed ... just on the edge.  Our spring developments for livestock water are natural springs that form the beginning of small streams eventually becoming part of Raccoon Creek.  Pictures & more information coming after the field trip!
