As some folks may have heard, we attended a fair last weekend. The Common Ground Fair in Unity sponsored by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Assoc. While at the fair we entered a few products. Below are pictures of the products that we entered.

First my DW's soaps.

Great pics, FB! I love those egg soaps, but imagine the free range variety are much tastier!

Congratulations Forest, please extend my regards to your DW. Excellant job. Didn't realize you had so many kids at home I happen to be particularly fond of goats for some reason (heidi in a past life?)

I love the market bag! That's fabulous. And I like seeing goats with horns. Are your chickens leghorns?

[forest beekeeper]

Thanks everyone

We have one goat buck, a nanny and three doelings.

A dozen 2 year old Rhode Island Red layers, and three dozen white Leghorns that are in their first year.

A first year pig soon to be sausage.

I have about 10 acres that produce fiddleheads.

This year most of our garden failed, only our pumpkins did well.

I have made 16 raised beds for apple trees to be planted next spring. We want to go with 8 trees of summer apples and 8 trees of winter apples; both harvest-groups will be a mixture of a sweet variety and two different tart varieties.

I have four raised beds for garlic, we will soon be planting: Russian Reds, Italian Purples, Whites, and Giant Elephants.

And of course indoors I have been trying to grow mushrooms.
