Brand new to owning chickens, we decided to join in the fun at the local Tour de Coops this past December. What a blast! Our second-to-last stop was an incredible urban farm in Central Phoenix, called Boho Farm + Home. Caroline and David were so kind, and they chatted with us for quite a while about their chickens, fruit trees and square foot gardens, and sustainable gardening in the city. Our kiddos loved running around their lush green yard, playing with the chickens, and dreaming with us about how we'd like to make our own backyard just a little more like theirs. (You can see Destany and Keandre with Caroline here.)
Well, long story short, they are hosting a farmer's market/flea market at their house this Saturday, and we are going to be selling our body/hair butters there! I am excited and a bit nervous.
Now I'm praying that I will have time this week to make 8 - 10 batches of body butter. (That in itself is time-consuming labor of love.) Plus I'll need to do a huge batch of sweet orange and peppermint chapsticks. And print up cards with our info on them. And plan how to set up our booth.
I think I'll do that during my free time this week....while home schooling, caring for my family and home, and visiting with Andy's family, who will be in town this week. Now, where did I put my Superwoman outfit???
If you'd like to stop by the Market, here is the address:

I'll help keep the kids entertained or the kids can entertain themselves and I can help make the butter. :) I'm interested in seeing how you make it. Sounds like a grand time!
Oh my gosh, how fun! I want to help out, too! I can bring my kids over sometime this week (except Thursday) for a playdate if you want.
Also, we'll try to come by the farmers market. :)
Looks like a wonderful farm! I'm glad you'll have some help making the butter.
That is awesome! I'd come help, but our first homestudy is Saturday and I am freaking out, and my parents are out of town and can't help. AH! Tell me it will all be ok ;)
Heather - Yeah! We're excited you're coming for a visit. And I'd love your help - with the kiddos or the butter! :)
Rachel - Thanks! We'll actually have family in town Tues. - Fri., so I'd love to take a raincheck on the playdate. We should do it soon....we have so much we can talk about. And it'd be fun to see you Saturday, too!
Elise - Thanks! We are really looking forward to it. Caroline is so sweet, and is going to help me figure out my table on Friday. I'm relieved!
Jamie - Your home study will go great! Remember, social workers WANT families to be able to adopt. Unless you have some major skeletons in your closet, you will be approved. If a social worker has concerns about someone, they usually just ask you to work on it and get back to them to discuss it further. Deep breaths. I'll be praying you get a great social worker! :)

Thanks for spreading the word, Shannon! I don't have a FB page...never thought of making one! ;)
Aww you really should make a facebook page. You can link it to your blog and updates go to Facebook.
