Market Re-Opening *New Location *New Time

I hope to see my local followers at the new location of 

The Austin Urban Farmers Market this Saturday 11-3*

Tell your friends if you can't make it, or bring them along if you can. I'll have plenty of bars of soap, including Lavender*Chamomile, Lavender*Jasmine, Lemongrass*Turmeric and several more. ALL NEW: This week I'll be offering some soothing hand and body balm. A luxurious blend of whipped shea, coconut oil, and hemp seed butter to deeply moisturize the dryest of skin plus some rosemary essential oil to sooth aching muscles.

I think i'll bake up some mini loaves of my delicious onion and herb bread too - so come early and get the best of the goodies. As always I will be joined by Germaine of Munkebo Farms with her fresh, pastured duck eggs and meat, Robin of Austin Urban Farming with plenty of veggies and seasonal fare, Leroy of Cousin Leroy's BBQ sauce, and plenty of other local vendors with canned goods, fresh produce, crafts and more.



*Trying out a new, later time. Please let us know what you think about the change.

COMING SOON: New Mini Co-op to Purchase Goods from the Austin Homestead

Hi folks!
I'm happy to announce that my entrepreneurial spirit is in full swing. As loyal readers, you know that i am the happy mother of 4 beautiful hens, and an experimenter and succeeder in the brewing of Kombucha Tea (KT). Since I live alone with my husband and animals - we simply have more KT and eggs (in theory, they're not quite laying YET) than we can consume in a hasty fashion. I don't, however, make enough of any of these consumables to warrant a full scale advertising corporate identity or even farm stand, nor guarantee availability at all times.

That being said: I would love to form a small scale, local co-op to partake in purchasing and consuming of my wares - for your benefit and for mine. You will help me pay for the things that make my life more fulfilling and healthy, and bring something healthful into your own home while buying as "local" as it gets.

Wares I will have available for purchase will vary with the season, but will rotate around these assorted items: Kombucha Tea, flavored and unflavored, bottled by me or bottled into your bottle at a discount (you can bring bottles as a deposit towards next time, or have me fill it on sight), Yard Fresh Eggs, by the dozen, half dozen, or even by the egg if you don't mind skipping the fancy egg carton, freshly made pasta and pesto, seasonal produce, maybe even cheese! I also crochet beverage cozies that are great for personal use or as gifts, among other silly and useful crafty things.

I will create a google document that you can simply open up online and place your order. The spreadsheet will tally your totals and orders will be filled upon availability. I will do my best to keep the spreadsheet current by week, and if something is unavailable when you want it, you will be sure to get first dibs the following week.   This document will also be an easy way to 'tell your friends' and they can request participation in the co-op as well.  As we go along I'll have a better idea of exactly how much KT i can really bottle in a week - and luckily it keeps in the fridge so i can bottle as it comes and save it up for the weekend.  I'm still working out the kinks - but I will either set up a set time to meet co-op members at an established locale, or set up  'open hours' Saturday afternoons to coincide with the farmers market schedules.

I am open to comment and suggestion, so please let me know your interests, needs, and preferences, and feel free to give me any ideas about facilitating local goodnesses.

Would this be something you'd be interested in? Do you have friends that are looking for a local source for KT or even scobies to purchase for their own homebrew? Would you buy local, yard eggs for about $3 a dozen? Let me know!
