News!
19/4/10 Due to a freezer accident we have no milk available for Lotion making, we are still making soap as that milk was in a different freezer, so apart from the lotions we have in stock (Rose geranium and unscented) there will be no lotion made until the ewes start to give milk again in early June-we are sorry for any inconvenience.
We are happy to announce that Thistledown Creamery is slowly becoming a reality, we hope to have our cheese room up and registered by June and then we'll be able to sell delicious sheep's milk cheese and yoghurt.
3/1/2010 We are getting close to drying off the ewes and we expect to start lambing again in June, we have plenty of milk saved for our soap and we will be making plenty during the ewes dry season. We saw a really nice documentary on Orangoutangs with Joanna Lumley, which really highlighted the damage palm tree plantations are doing, seeing the Orangoutangs in their natural habitat was very enlightening.
14/7/09 We're back milking, more picks can be seen on our blog, the ewes seem to be loving the new bail and we're enjoying it too! We're also now sourcing olive oil from a local olive grove which is fantastic!
