Happy Friday 11/15/24!
"We clap hands and welcome the Peace of Christmas. We beckon this good season to wait a while with us." - Maya Angelou
Though it seems the decorations start earlier and earlier each year, I can't help but feel the excitement of the season as I start to see little signs of Christmas popping up in early November! And just as Maya Angelou says above, we'd like this season to wait a while with us. To extend the joy and excitement as long as possible. Because (I may be biased with young children at home) it's just so magical. And speaking of: my kids were so excited to see the shoppe fully decorated for the Holidays this week! We've packed our little farm shoppe full of all the things we can think of to bring a little more magic to your Holidays. From handmade dried orange garlands to the most decadent caramels (goat milk and cow's milk varieties), Christmas candles and even sourdough baking kits (dehydrated starter included)! We add our family's favorite Christmas books each year to help share some of our family with you. And of course, the creamery has been working on all the season's favorite flavors!
.
Eggnog is officially back at the creamery! And this year, I think it's the better than ever. We're always working on sourcing the best quality ingredients, and the chai spices this year have taken our eggnog over the top! It's rich and creamy, just the right amount of spice and nutmeg and a hint of rum for the drink of the season! We've bottled quarts this weekend and plan to add pints and our signature glass giftable quarts in December! And a bonus this year: we turned our delicious eggnog into gelato! It's the gift that keeps on giving!
.
Our hours are extended for the Holiday Season, and we're so excited to greet you at our little farm shoppe this year! And sign-ups are open from 11/21 through 12/1 for a chance to win FREE GELATO FOR A YEAR (1 pint per week, 52 pints)!
