Our small farm in WV has become my space to create: from sourdough to soap, join my adventures here.

I’ve been quiet on this page lately. It’s at least partially because my life has gone to the chickens now that it’s springtime, so I thought I’d share some pics from today. We moved our biggest batch of chicks (some future egg layers, some destined for the freezer) into their big chicken coop, and moved some new babies out of the incubator into the brooder with turkeys and guineas (no pics of those). Our Breakfast Club laying flock is all tucked into bed tonight after filling our basket with eggs today.

I’ve got several garden projects in the works too, though I’m always happy to admit that I’m not much of a gardener. I love the idea of a garden, and I love creative canning projects because of my garden… but the actual act of gardening is not very exciting for me most of the time. My 6 year old daughter loves it though, so a garden we shall grow 🙂

I AM still taking marshmallow orders for those of you who have been wondering. I’ve had several folks reach out to ask within the past week or so and I thought I should throw that out there. I haven’t had spare time to whip any up on my own, but if you send me a message I’m happy to work on any custom orders you send my way. I prefer a 2 week heads up, but sometimes I can get them squeezed into my schedule with one week’s notice. Be thinking of mother’s day and graduation parties, too. Happy to make your mama some chocolate covered strawberry marshmallows, and I can find sprinkles to match any graduation color scheme you need 🙂

Marshmallow care packages are available for all the dental surgery patients in your life 😅❤️

Just finished packing up a custom order for exactly that: a grandson who had oral surgery. (I even got to sign the card “Love, grandma & grandpa” because they live a few hundred miles away but still wanted to include a little note with well wishes and orders to share with his little brother 😉)

There are also marshmallows heading out in the mail this week to new parents, a friend who just needs a hug, and birthday boys/girls.

Who might you like to ship marshmallows to? Reach out and I can send them the perfect pick-me-up 💖

Keep an eye on the page later this evening, I’m going to have some of my ”leftovers” up for grabs (unless someone inboxes me to order first 😉)

Maple syrup season = maple brown sugar marshmallows!

Made from 100% pure maple syrup that we made ourselves on our farm right here in WV ❤️

A limited number are headed to Mountain Creative this afternoon!

& Apothecary… because I don’t just make marshmallows! 🤣❤️

It may be too late in the “cold/flu season,” but I can bottle up some fire cider and brew a batch of elderberry syrup in the next week for anyone who might be in the market as we head into spring allergy season.

Elderberry syrup has become a more mainstream herbal remedy in the past decade, so you’ve likely heard of it. I make mine with fresh ginger, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper… and elderberries of course! I wildharvest the elderberries myself during their peak season here in NCWV near the end of July and dehydrate or freeze them for use all winter. We raise our own honeybees here at our farm, so the syrup finishes off with local raw honey. I’ve yet to see anyone else making elderberry syrup with local berries and local honey, just sayin 😉

Fire cider is a little less common locally, but it is worth learning about. Fire cider starts with fresh fall herbs: horseradish, garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, turmeric, jalapeño, black peppercorns, ginger, orange & lemon are all chopped up and covered with a bit of raw honey and raw organic apple cider vinegar. This potent jar infuses for 6-8 weeks and then is strained off and the infused vinegar & honey is bottled as Fire Cider. As you might guess, a few tablespoons of this concoction will clear your sinuses right up! I have a friend who uses the vinegar to make her own salad dressing and eats her daily dose of fire cider all winter long over her greens.

Both remedies must be refrigerated. Elderberry syrup has a shelf life of 6 months and fire cider should be used within a year.

The FDA tells me I’m not allowed to make any medicinal claims on any of my herbal remedies, but a Google search of them both will teach you all you need to know. Be sure to check with your medical doctor for any contraindications with any of your pharmaceutical medications or health conditions.

If you’d like a bottle of either, let me know. I have a limited number of these 8.5oz bottles available. I won’t make elderberry syrup until the weekend or early next week, so this is just a heads up if you’re in the market to place your order before then 🙂

Prices listed on the pic with the bottle because FB likes to hide posts with dollar signs from your feed.

Thanks for your support! ❤️

Who loves cookies & cream? 😍😍😍

Some of these will be headed to Mountain Creative in Fairmont tomorrow but I’ll have a few extras if anyone local “needs” some. They received rave reviews at the library today!

***these are marshmallows! Not delicious soap 🤣 It has been brought to my attention that the pics could be confused with soap to a first-time scroller 🤣🫣***

Playing with my food 😅💖

**This one was mine to eat, I wear gloves when I work with yours 😉 But I thought some of you who haven’t had the opportunity to try them in person (yet!) might like to see the size & squish of these homemade gourmet marshmallows ❤️

Packaging up some Valentine dozens!

I haven’t shared much about who we are!

Our life on a small farm has led me to develop all sorts of old fashioned skills like sourdough and old-fashioned candy like marshmallows 🙂

We’ve raised 100% free range/pastured chickens for over a decade now. We raise them mostly for eggs, but we also eat our extra roosters and raise “meat birds” every couple of years to fill our freezer.

Our laying flock consists of a bunch of older birds, because I don’t cull out the old hens like large scale chicken farms do. Instead, I bred my flock selectively for several years by specifically hatching out eggs from the most prolific layers or from the layers who continued to give us eggs all winter. Being pastured, these gals are feed thrifty, hardy and predator-savvy.

Obviously, I love them. You couldn’t pay me to replace them with chicks from the feed store 🤷🏻‍♀️

My mom bought our family a new incubator for Christmas because she knew my old one wasn’t producing the hatch rates I like to see, and we just loaded it up with eggs for its trial run.

Wish us luck! If all goes well, in 3 weeks I’ll be posting some hatch day pics ❤️ 🐣 🐥

I have Vday 5 play dough kits ready to go!

Pick up in Seven Pines, or I’ll be in Bridgeport/Fairmont/Mannington on Tuesday and can make arrangements to meet up.

Comment Sold & send me a PM :)

02/11/2023

If you need a last minute Vday gift for the kids this weekend, pop into Mountain Creative in Fairmont to pick up a gift certificate for the Mountain Mess room (because what kid doesn’t love slinging paint all over the place?!), some play dough & marshmallows. A lip balm or two for you & a friend, and you’re all set! 💖
