There are many things that make me smile, this is just one of them.
I am so excited! Just went out and took a look at the garden. As many of you know, we put our garden in very late this year and I didn’t really expect to see much happening until September. Well, the 40+ tomato plants that we planted all have at least one tomato on them. I’m going to be one busy gal in a month or so making and canning sauces. Can’t wait!
Don’t forget to comment for the Goats Milk Soap and Lotion Giveaway! Drawing is Sunday August 23.
Sorry, I left out when we would draw for the Goats Milk Soap & Lotion Giveaway. The drawing will be Sunday, August 23rd in the evening. I will post the winner Monday, August 24th in my blog for that day.
Good Luck!!
Wanted to take a second and let everyone know that if you are in the Powhatan, Virginia area, after today you will be able to purchase Breeze Hill Farm goats milk soaps and lotions from both the Powhatan Pharmacy Gift Shop and the Plaza Pharmacy Gift Shop. We are very excited about the addition of these two retail sources for our products. In addition to the soaps and lotions, they will also have our Shea Butter, made with our own “Mint’s” essential oils produced here at the farm.
To celebrate this new addition we are giving away a bottle of this months Breeze Hill Farm Store feature product Collina Breeza Lotion and a bar of Collina Breeza bar soap. Just leave a comment and I will contact you if your name is chosen for this giveaway to get your mailing address. Good Luck!
I can’t believe that it’s the middle of August. Time has just gotten away from me and I suppose that’s the case with everyone. It seems as though it was just yesterday that I announced our Spring Fiber CSA and as of today, word from the Mill is all of the fiber should be spun into yarn and ready to ship by the end of the week. It seems as though they wanted to get the really large orders out as soon as possible..my good and our shareholders good. All of the Roving is ready for shipping now and should go out Friday.
So many people have emailed me asking if we have any plans for a Fall CSA. As of right now, no. I am trying very hard to get all of the soap and lotion orders caught up before the Holiday season gets here and I’m not sure that I’ve got it in me to set up another CSA for the Fall. The only thing that makes me want to say yes, is all of the fiber I still have here at the farm. It would be nice to move it out of the loft before next Spring. We are working on another idea though for Fall that I will discuss more in upcoming blogs. It’s a little different but I think that the concept might be well received. Keep checking back to find out more.
As of last count, I have moved over 300 bars of soap out of here since the 1st and that’s what I am doing today..making soap. It’s amazing how well this side of the farm business is doing. We just shipped a very large order to Italy yesterday and I am working on a pretty good size order to deliver tomorrow locally. Breeze Hill Farm is becoming a household name in the states and abroad. Can’t beat that, eh?
I wish I could say that our Co-op sales were this good but they aren’t. I don’t know what is going on but each week sales are consistently going down to the point that this week we’ve sold less than $100. of product. We love this Co-op and the other producers and members but it gets a bit costly to travel close to 100 miles to deliver so little. Maybe everyone is concentrating on final vacations and school starting. Don’t know but I miss my customers! Our products in a “food” Co-op have been fairly hard to sell anyway. Try as we may, we just can’t seem to get the point across that we are trying to “take care of outside while the food producers are taking care of the inside”. The fact that our soaps are molded in pretty molds doesn’t take away from the benefits of goats milk soap for the skin and our lotions and creams are just wonderful, for the whole family. Of course, being a producer, I just want everybody to buy bunches all of the time. Maybe in the Fall.
Got to get back to the soap. Everybody have a great day!
