The 10th Street Farmer's Market opened today, with lots of bedding plants, along with fresh breads, spring onions, spinach, lettuce - and, of course, Peaceacre! We met a lot of cool out-of-towners today, and we had a lot of people ask how they can find Peacecare products when they go home. I am working on getting more of my market items into the Peaceacre-Artfire online store. One that IS currently listed is the herbal healing balm, which I sold out of at the market this morning (I have more for on line sales). This is one of the most popular products that I make. I'll be making more for local sale soon. We've had really good feedback on this balm. Other new items this year include Spa Salt Bars with French clay, Orange Cream Whipped Lotion in a tin, Pure & Natural Laundry Soap bars, and tea rose scented and "healing hands" herbal lotion bars. Last year's favorites are back, too, of course, inlcuding all the varieties of soap you've come to expect from Peaceacre. I have plenty of surprises planned for this year's Farmer's Market season, so expect good things to come. Since Peaceacre is really NOT all about commerce, please note that we WILL NOT be at the market every weekend. In May, we will be there the 1st, 8th and 22nd. If we add more dates, we'll let you know.
In other news... I'm working on a number of projects for the Arts Council, including, this month, a FREE kids class for Earth Day on making art from recycled materials. You can find more info on that class in the "peacecare art" section of this website, and also at acobc.org. I am also planning adult classes soon at Peaceacre studio on making herbal balms, herbal teas, and maybe needle felting, too, so watch this space for announcements.
Thanks everybody for a great first day at the Market, and a lot of positive commentary. We look forward to a great season!
