I've been painting signs like crazy so there is some signage for our farm and self-serve stand. We live off the beaten path so this whole thing is a crap-shoot. We'll see if we sell anything..... It does look quite cute though, if I must say so. If you do want to come and buy lamb meat, you can find the driving directions temporarily on a Leyden Glen Lamb blog I set up as a "stop gap" measure.
I missed the series on NPR about the "Five Farms" but it looks like you can download it. Maybe when I go to the library the next time, if I can remember..... I just found out that the Producer of the series, Wesley Horner, is local. Small world.

Love the barn and signs. Good luck!
Bonne chance!
Lovely sign!
Can I ask, are the Julia yarns discontinued? I'm having a heck of a time finding them.
I moved to TX from Central MA two years ago. Last night I went to hear the Yarn Harlot speak here in TX, and took the opportunity to *finally* get myself a copy of Kristin Knits, I am drooling! I am so inspired by the socks, and the scarves too. So I'm off to my local shop before we head east for the summer.
AND whilst in Maine for June I will be taking lots of lovely colorful wool to try your Granny Squares blanket. Really looking forward to it.
Nice to read a bit of the Northeast from down here in the South.

I would run off to find the farm post haste...but I'm afraid it wouldn't hold up well on the drive home to SoCal.
love the new signage!!
I'll jump in here and answer for Kristin. I hope she doesn't mind. :-)
Julia yarn has definitely *not* been discontinued. In fact, I think the distributor Nashua Handknits is even adding some new colors this fall.
There is a list of retailers who stock Julia on Kristin's web page here:
http://www.kristinnicholas.com/julia_stores.htm
The list is from last year and therefore may not be completely up to date. There is contact information for Nashua Handknits on the same page, so you can get in touch with them for an update.
You may also find shops that carry Julia on Nashua's own web site (www.nashuaknits.com) under their "Find a Yarn Shop" heading.
If you search on Google for "Julia Yarn" that will also turn up a number of mail order sources.
