Happy Thursday, dear reader. It is time to begin discussing our upcoming Spring At The Farm gathering. We have set the date for Saturday, May 4th, from 9-1. Our event is the first weekend in May, the weekend before we celebrate Mother's Day. Our events at the farm are by far my favorite events. We gather our favorite people, spend the day showcasing their talents, and celebrate everything they bring to our local communities and our maker community. We get to see you, our wonderful soap family. It is a day we thoroughly enjoy and look forward to. We also invite you to our farm, where you can see firsthand our herd of goats, the farm I love, and where my stories take place.
We have a line-up of new vendors and our returning favorites this spring. I won't go into much detail today, but I will give you a running list highlighting what to expect. First, let us talk about food. Our local food truck spotlight will shine on Frank's Red Rocket. I am already looking forward to a Rocket Burger. My dear friend, Julia, will be here with her amazing Aunt Julia's Donuts. Julia is one to keep an eye on. This innovative, savvy business owner has some fantastic plans in the works. I can't wait to see what she will bring to our community. With donuts, one has to have coffee. My friend and former student, Amanda Snell, owner of My Wellness in Brookville, will be here with her healthfully inspired coffee, loaded energy drinks, protein parfaits, and scratch-made bagels. I am so proud of this young woman and all she has accomplished. I have a habit of calling my former students "my kids." After having them in class from grades 7-11, I think of them as my kids. Seeing them grow, thrive, and boost them when I can brings joy to my heart. My dear friends, the Simpsons from Lone Oak Farm will be here with their impressive handmade selection of local cheeses, baked goods, perhaps flowers, and their warm and friendly personalities. I love these "kids," what they do, and how they are willing to go out of their way to support us. Fingers crossed, my sweet friend Sharon, aka Mrs. Nut Roll, will be here. Her delectable creations of nut, apricot, and poppy seed rolls are drool-worthy. Pat and Sherry from Broken Locust will be here with their hand-blended herbal teas. I'm so excited for them. They will be selling their packaged tea blends, hot, ready-to-go teas, as well as their adorable baby bonnets and, hopefully, herb plants.
We will also welcome our creator friends. This spring, Lauren with LuLu Lux Jewelry will join us. Lauren is a seriously talented artist who creates the most adorable earrings and jewelry. My sweet friend, Carlene, aka PrAIRy Girl, will be here with her high-quality fiber wares. Katie Molinengo will showcase her beautiful candle creations. Katie is also one of my kids from Brookville. Buds to Blooms will join us with their locally grown CBD products. Pamela Jean will be here with her gorgeous hand-woven creations. Seriously, you need at least one of her shawls, wraps, or scarves in your life. They make unique gifts, and they are of the highest quality. I have a small wardrobe of them. Hmm, paired with LuLu Lux earrings, you've got an original, practical, luxurious Mother's Day gift. Sweet Home Vanilla and the sweet Amanda will also join us. My dearest friend, Tricia Brown, who owns Canine Confections, will join us with her delicious, nutritious, and adorable pet treats. The Braughler Sisters, who are Color To Dye For, will showcase their artful and high-quality creations. The talented Ashely Bowman will also join us for our springtime event. This young woman is a true artist, and we are excited to welcome her to our farm. I await confirmation from some friends, but this is the confirmed list.
Save the date: Saturday, May 4th, 9-1, 493 Tonkin Road, Indiana, PA 15701. We are greatly looking forward to seeing everyone. Please send out good vibes for good weather and sunshine. We can't wait for you to meet the new baby goats. Everyone will have their bounce on by May. We hope you can join us.
On this lovely, spring-like day, stay safe, be smart, save the date, please plan to join us, and keep washing your hands.
