Some lovely ladies in Preston Co. put on a holiday open house last weekend and we went to participate in the merriment. They are a group of lady farmers who keep sheep and other small stock. They work to put together gorgeous crafts, foods, wools and other fibers, etc, for the open house each year. The best part is that they sell their meat and have delicious samples of soups and other things to make with it, which is a lovely idea. We ended up buying some really nice lamb and also a goose for Christmas. It is all local, organic, and humanely treated, which is basically the only kind of meat we buy now. Also bought wool roving and yarn in delicious colors.
Anyway, I just love the sense of community these ladies have fostered. They all work together to make these lovely things and I am sure they help each other on the farm when needed, too. It is really a great business model and a great way to earn a living doing what they do.
Oh yeah, and they all have at least one or two Great Pyrenees dogs, which are so lovable.
