Fredonia Farm Festival

August ended with The Fredonia Farm Festival. We had a great view from our tent. It was a fun show and we made a few new friends.

These are our Closet Sachets made of small burlap bags filled with cedar and pine shavings... not only are they a great alternative to moth balls but they also help dry out musty closets....

We also had some survival bracelets made in various sizes. This came in handy for sizing as I ended up making some in other colors for folks as they walked around the fest.

Below is the hypo-allergenic and detergent free soap we make here at Starry Brook Farm...

We had a great view of the parade...

John worked long hours on Saturday, then Sunday morning I woke him up early to drop me off at the tent.  Then he went to tend the alpacas, came back to the city to tend to the dog. Once Dallas was comfy, John drove back out to the fest.  I couldn't fault him for catching a few zzzzs before the fun ended and it was time to pack up....

August on the Farm

August at Starry Brook Farm is all about preparing for the winter to come.  My parent's home is heated with a wood.  So the wood shed needs filling....

The alpacas have their fleece to keep them warm.  What they need for the winter is hay... Here is the main hay barn filled to the brim....

This is the hay storage part of the alpaca barn....

And we managed to squeeze a few bales in another corner of the barn... oh look, that is where the container of beet pulp is.... 

All our preparations were done of under the watchful eye of Pumba....
