A glorious summer's day here in Maine, and farms throughout the state were open to visitors. We managed Brae Maple, Agricola, Hawes and Guinni Ridge farms in Union, before visiting Sweet Season Farm Cafe here in Washington for lobster rolls and ginger ice cream.
At Brae Maple I met a bunch of spinners who graciously invited me to sit and knit (I didn't bring a wheel), then I went down to Agricola and bought some lovely black alpaca yarn. At Guinni Ridge we looked at the Katahdin & Suffolk sheep, and I bought some white roving (Corriedale & Romney blend). Definitely would like to carry roving at Village Books and talked it up a bit with the spinners.
At Hawes Farm we bought some beautiful French green beans and small red potatoes (which we were going to have for dinner until I got the lobster roll/ice cream idea).
All in all, very satisfying day. And now to my spinning wheel! Do you think spinning will burn off those calories?
Sounds like you had a lovely day!!!
