I have named her #Agnes. She is the largest and darkest indigo vat I have made to date. She stands 3’ tall and took the better part of a day to make yesterday and today I performed the Blue Wedding, as @aboubakarfofana told us at his 3-day workshop last year, that first dip into a new vat and the start of a new fruitful relationship. Today’s first dips were with our Bjornicorn (Romney wool/mohair blend) and the Dorset sock yarn. What makes indigo so special? Well, there are a lot of characteristics that make it special but in context of our yarns, each skein is dyed individually. By hand. With multiple dips. And 8 subsequent washes. I think the indigo yarns are some of the most detailed yarns that leave this farm. It demands a nuanced hand, a slow, mindful pace, and patience. #artisanyarn #farmyarn #indigo #indigodye #botanicaldye #botanicalcolors #romneysheep #dorsetsheep #handmadeinct #handmadeinridgefield #ridgefieldct #ctmade #fairfieldcountyct

Fall’s abundance is in full swing here at the farm. We’ve been making lots of custom soap orders (we love being a part of your special occasions!) and making old favorites and new additions. From left to right: jewelers soap (jewel weed is good for poison ivy, rashes and more), Kombucha soap scented with Nag Champa, Lavender Oatmeal Scrub, Orange Patchouli, and ‘Oats, Milk & Honey’ soaps. I dove into fall’s reds this week in the dye pot. And last night’s dinner was lamb-stuffed zucchini. Sign up to the mailing list to get the recipe to this and more meals we make in our home. #handmadesoap #artisansoap #eatlamb #fanoflamb #americanlamb #naturaldyes #fiberfarm #sheepfarm #goatmilksoap #partyfavors #fairfieldcountymoms #ridgefieldmoms

What have we been up to today? Lots of work in the soap studio! We are finally ready to unveil our new soap dough collection to bring imagination to bath time! The collection includes four colors of moldable soap dough completed by a li’l piggie soap bar. We will be bringing these to the Ridgefield Pumpkin Weigh Off on Sunday and they will be on the website next week! #goatmilksoap #handmadesoap #artisansoap #soapdough #kidsbsthtime #bathtime #ridgefieldmoms #fairfieldcountymoms #kidsgifts #ridgefieldct #farmmade #familyfarm

Good morning! We are overjoyed to report that we will be grazing in the fields of McKeon farm for 5 more years! Thank you so much for coming out to vote overwhelmingly in our favor. Thank you to everyone who spread the word on our behalf. The room was filled last night and we could feel all that positive energy. Thank you for bringing your children out on a school night. Thank you. Today we move ahead now and can work knowing that the future of Henny Penny Farm is secure in its home here in Ridgefield for the next 5 years. (Video is of our older girl Cass working. I was having her take the sheep from me and drive them to the other end of the field and then hold them there.) #gooddog #ridgefieldct #conservationland #adaptivegrazing #regenerativeagriculture #newenglandfarm #familyfarm #sheepfarm #herdingdog #workingdog #bordercollie

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is THE VOTE! If you are new to our mailing list, tomorrow is the day when our lease for 5 more years grazing at McKeon is being voted on by YOU, the Ridgefield Residents. Ridgefield Town Hall Large Meeting Room, 7:30PM. Although the Conservation Commission, who have overseen our grazing work for the last 5 years has approved our lease, the town charter requires the town to vote whether or not to approve. So YOUR VOTE IN PERSON matters tomorrow! It should be a quick meeting so please take the time to come down tomorrow evening and cast your vote in our favor. #democracyinaction #newenglandfarm #newengland #ridgefieldct #ridgefieldmoms

Unveiling our new Soap Felting Kits at the New Can

Unveiling our new Soap Felting Kits at the New Canaan Farmer’s Market today! So many of our campers loved making felted soap this summer that we designed kits with video instructions and everything to make 2 bars of felted soap plus a really nice quality foam with needles for all future needle felting projects. Nothing annoys us more than kits that include poor quality tools. And then that awesome bluebird house was made by Farmer Whitney’s other half from antique barn wood Isn’t it the greatest? #handmade #ridgefieldct #newcanaanct #felt #americanwool #kidscraft #ridgefieldmoms #newcanaanmoms

It was a great weekend at the NJ Sheep and Wool Fe

It was a great weekend at the NJ Sheep and Wool Festival. Henny Penny left with Champion Ewe (who also took Best in Show), Champion Ram and Reserve Champion Ewe and Ram. All sheep were owned and bred here on the farm. And honestly, the good results was really the icing on the cake. This festival has such a friendly camaraderie between show families which makes it all so fun. Penny ended up helping 3 families show and showed for most of the day on Sunday and half of Saturday. So while I ran our retail booth of woolens, Penny fitted and washed sheep, helped others with fitting and just anything that needed getting done. That is the value of farm life. #njsheepandwool #fiberfestival #fiberfarm #farmfamily #romneysheep #americanromney #americanromneybreedersassociation #arba #ctsheep #ridgefieldct #breedingstock

Now that the older children are back at school, are you looking for something for your little ones to do this fall? We still have spaces remaining in our Young Explorers Program beginning tomorrow here on the farm!
During this 2-hour drop-off program you can take some much needed 'me-time' while your children spend time exploring nature and farm life. We spend time with our gentlest farm animals, use our hands to create and more. We'll be gardening, making treats for our farm animals and birds and meeting our newest farm friends Strudel and Ebelskiver, the two Angora goat kids who have come to join Bjorn here. Each session we spend quality time with different animals, with different parts of the farm. There is always something new to explore and learn. Sessions are 10am-12pm and offered as a group of 5 sessions on Sept 15, 17, 22, 24 and 29
Our website is experiencing problems. Please send us a DM to register! #fairfieldcountymoms #ridgefieldmoms #preschoolactivities #ridgefieldct #farmlife
