Must be Monday! Here Come The Fall Scents

Must be Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! We were at 4 farmers' markets this weekend and will now be attending Wakefield / Marina Park Farmers' market on Tuesdays. It was a long weekend but a great one! As always we thank everyone who supports their local farmers' markets! 

Here at Silk Tree Farm we started off our morning with the usual milking and feeding chores. As soon as everyone was happy and taken care of I went straight to work pouring candles. I poured a few more summer scents and my first batch of fall scents. In addition to the return of the favorite scents be on the look out for some new fall scents to hit the stores and markets. 





Here is sneak peak at one of the new scents coming soon!

POMEGRANATE CIDER:  A unique scent of sugared apples and clove with a tart tangy kick of pomegranate. 


Fall candles will be covered with this fabric!

Education in Farming

 Today  and this past Tuesday we spent the morning at Hillandale Farm.  They host a summer camp for young kids where they gain a wealth of knowledge about food and farming. We brought along two of our does in milk. We talked with the kids about how to care for goats and they got a lesson in milking. What a rewarding experience. To be able to spend time with these children and show them exactly where healthy natural food comes from.  Thank you Hillandale Farm for allowing us to be included in such a wonderful program!
