165-The Mercantile is Opening

It’s that time of year!

We are excited to start our on-farm Mercantile season. Beginning Friday, March 19 2021, the Mercantile will be open on Fridays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and Saturdays from 12:00 PM (noon) until 4:00 PM. More hours and deliveries will be added.

You can order ahead through our online store and choose to pick up at the Farm.

Thank you for listening,

Donna, Julia and the Felines

P.S. We can now text from our business line. Let us know how we can serve you.

162-Filling Our Time by Filling Stock

The long cold days are about to come to an end and we are thankful.

We have also set Friday, March 19, 2021 as the season opening of the Mercantile.

Between those two things, we are working hard to fill our product stock now while we have the chance. As soon as the weather breaks, we have a lot of outside chores to do and we want to have full shelves when we open on the 19th.

Donna has been busy making balms, soaps and shampoo bars. She is creating a new line of botanical scents that are sure to please.

Julia has been in the kitchen testing heritage recipes to add to the menu plus will be stocking up on jam.

All of a sudden, we are not bored any more.

Mark your calendars for March 19. We can’t wait to see everyone.

Stay tuned to our social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) or subscribe to our email list for more details.

Until next time,

Donna, Julia and the Felines

P.S. Registration is still open for the low $19 introductory price for our gardening course.

 

157-Gardening Begins in January

Did you know the gardening season begins in January, even when it is snowing?

It does here at Five Feline Farm!

This episode is chock full of what we have accomplished in the past week. We are recording video of each step and will release that in Five Feline Farm School within a couple of weeks. If you are not already on the list to get course related information in your inbox, you can sign up here. You can also participate in our very brief survey to let us know the types of information you are most interested in. (Don’t worry, we have your answers recorded if you have already completed the survey.)

We also discuss the new potting shed we have on order. One question we answer in this conversation is how we made the decision to order a pre-made one instead of building our own.

You will hear us referencing Larry at Thompson’s Sales in Mattoon, IL. If you are in need of a portable building and within driving distance, please check him out.

One last thing–if you have somehow stumbled on this podcast episode and are not already on our email list, we have a free downloadable ebook for you: Wisdom From the Bees. It’s our way of saying “thank you” for allowing us into your inbox.

Until next time,

Donna, Julia and the Felines
