New Directions

Time for re-evaluating. Soap and lotion sales have been down, so maybe we need to go into a different direction. So this is how it looks so far. A new name (this one didn't take a rocket scientist!) B & D Farm. What are we going to do?? Now THAT is the million dollar question!

EGGS - We will continue to sell high quality chicken and duck eggs (don't you just love the "high" quality - good PR!!). I am planning on increasing both the chicken and duck flocks later on this summer. Will probably add meat chickens and ducks sometime later on this Spring.

HONEY - if what my friend, Kent the beekeeper, says is true. We will be offering B & D Honey this summer, also. I plan to sell the honey at the market and from my home.

HERBS - I have a lot of herbal baked good recipes. Plus I am growing some interesting herbs. For example - Thai Basil, Holy Basil.

PASTA - PASTA!! What I am doing making pasta??? I make pretty good pasta - well, mainly egg noodles and spaghetti - but all different flavors - regular (egg), spinach, whole wheat, beet, tomato, hot pepper, herbal (all sorts of herbs - even a lavendar!). You name it, we can make it!

HOMEMADE BREAD - OK, I am not Blue Oven Bakery, BUT my bread is just as good or BETTER than theirs - give it a try!! It is not baked in a brick oven, but does that really matter?

JAMS AND JELLIES - Can't forget my homemade jams and jellies! Nor my wine jellies that are becoming famous. I am going to try to use some of the local wines this year.

I will still have a few soaps and lotions for the faithful few!

It does look like I will probably get the part-time job at University Hospital. I am not sure I can run 2 markets and a part time job at the same time.
