Come by our tent today between 3 and 6 at the Windsor market and grab a bar of shampoo for your four legged family members. These are cruelty free and the ingredients all readily biodegrade so you don't have to worry about harming the environment when hosing your dog off outside. Bringing your dog camping and need to wash off those muddy paws? These are great for tossing into your travel bag. These bars are unscented because even natural essential oils are generally not pet safe, and pets tend to be very sensitive to fragrance. P.s this is the same formula as our standard shampoo bar for humans, minus the fragrance. So if you're a fan of those, you'll probably love these as well. The gentle ingredients used in this bar even work in hard water.

They're finally ready!!! Paw paws are a native fruit that has hardly any disease or pest issues, grows to only about 15 feet tall, and is low maintenance. The fruit is very similar in shape and texture to a honey mango. The flavor is often described as tropical and similar to banana. These are seedlings rather than cultivars, so if you get two they will pollinate eachother.

Come and get em! See you tomorrow!

More styles of pressed flower jewelry will be available at our next market this coming Thursday! The bangles are new and so I will probably only have one or two available at that time until I restock on resin to make more!

Here at the South Windsor Market today until noon!

Our lavender shea butter soap is finally done curing after several weeks. This is one of the most simple yet luxurious soaps we make. The high shea butter content makes this soap extra-creamy and wonderful for the skin. It contains all natural essential oils and lavender buds grown on our farm. It smells amazing 😍 This is my go-to bar of soap if I've had a stressful day and need some self-care. Come by the windsor market tomorrow to pick some up. Stock up on these (mix and match with any other soaps we offer), 4 for $25.

More goodies made today! 😊 These fern pendants are just so simple yet elegant! They are a daily reminder to keep nature close to your heart as you go about your day wearing the necklace. These will be available soon in limited numbers, each one unique.🩷 Hoping to also press some Japanese painted ferns from our garden this week and make a few with those beauties as well.

Turns out we have a resident ambush bug. This has got to be one of the most interesting critters we have found so far. His name is Arthur and he helps control our aphids and other pesky insects so we don't have to spray. 🩷

These dried flower pendants I made today are inspired by the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, "The earth laughs in flowers." They capture the playful magic that children see when giggling through the garden, in awe of the beauty around them.

No market tomorrow! But catch us in Windsor on Thursday, or South Windsor on the 27th

Due to forecasted inclement weather, our Farmers' Market for July 13, 2024 has been canceled.

Bouquets harvested today and hung to dry!

A new batch of soaps is ready for tomorrow! Come give them a sniff! (Or if you're sensitive to scent, we've got fragrance-free as well😉 👍)

From the get go, our standard has been to uphold these promises for all of our products. We started out making soap and candles for our own family because we were flabbergasted at what chemicals are legally allowed to be in soap and candles. Therefore we only sell products we happily use in our own home. All of our soaps include a detailed ingredients list of the goodness that goes into each bar. Proudly made right here in CT where we also grow the vast majority of our herbs.

I think we are in the peak harvesting season now for calendula! The plants are happy as can be, and the bees on them are happy as can bee as well.

06/29/2024

We,ve got some beautiful herbs ready today, grown right on our homestead!

06/29/2024

Beautiful day for a market! Finally a nice cool day, and the rain should hold off till tonight. We are all set up here at the South Windsor market until noon. Beautiful herb plants fresh out of the greenhouse this week too!

06/20/2024

All set up and ready to see your shining faces! Happy summer solstice!

It's soaping season! We grow the majority of our herbs that go into our products right here on the farm. From seed to soap, all of the herbs we grow are pesticide-free and picked by hand with care. Our soaps are vegan, cruelty-free and do not include any parabens pthalates or preservatives of any kind. Have a questions about our ingredients? Ask us! We are passionate about the nourishing ingredients in our products and are fully transparent about everything that goes into them. Allergic to synthetic fragrance? The majority of our soaps are free from synthetic fragrances, and we even have unscented herbal soaps available for those with the most sensitive of skin. Because our herbs are finally starting to come into season we have been hard at work making soap. This first round of soap will be available in just under a month.

Windsor's First Town Downtown Market opens today! It's going to be a hot one but we are excited for it anyways. Come visit us and all the other local producers!

Wish you all could smell this picture! Fresh cut lavender buds picked today! We grow a few different kinds and this one happens to have buds that are just the slightest tinge of purple. Others we grow are almost a dark blue. It's really interesting to see how different they all are.

New batch of soap just freshly poured today! If you're like us, you probably sip your morning coffee while walking around the garden pulling weeds and checking your tomato plants for aphids. (No judgement, you are our people and we see you 😂) If this describes you, maybe consider grabbing a bar of this soap. It combines coffee grounds to gently lift grime and grit from the hands, nourishing plant oils that wont dry out the skin, and is scented like fresh tomato leaves. What more could a gardener want?! As with all our soaps, they take about a month to cure, so keep an eye out for these in roughly a month at our markets. This would also make a wonderful gift for any avid gardeners in your life!
