Care Package

Trying to kick it new school and old school...

We are working on a site redesign to intergrate our foray into local farming and cheese making. We are excited to work with my brother and OPP artist, Baird Hoffmire on an OPP site redesign and Organic Process goat cheese / honey logos for the products.  OPP is about media and art; how it is used, how it effects us.  Participating in local farming and telling stories with art & media from that experience is a great addition to the things we do. Hey, who makes the rules?

FOOD

I've been happily working at Burden Creek Dairy making chevre cheese for them and feeding and milking the goats two mornings a week in exchange for a bucket of milk (12 qts) to make my own cheese. I am now in full production, making and seling my own fresh chevre once a week. You can buy it directly from me or at  Rosebank Farms. Let me know if you have any flavor requests or orders!

Flavors in stock now: Cranberry/Orange/Honey, Lemon/Rosemary, Italian Herb, Pineapple/Walnut, Honey/Almond

MEDIA

I am also loving working and learning about farming and many other useful things from a crew of very diversely talented individuals at Rosebank Farms and making videos for their website. Here are my first 2 videos of Rosebank Farms annual Fall Festival and Floral Arrangement Workshops with Louise Bennett.

GOATS

Below are some of the pretty milk mamas (and a buck, named Lucky Chucky) from Burden Creek Dairy. Ben Timpson and I went out and took so many good pictures that I couldn't decide which ones to post. To see them all, visit our gallery: www.flickr.com/photos/organicprocess

I want to be like you when I grow up!! I love you Farrah! Ironic about your fathers friend, Funny how life takes those turns and when we least expect it we are given a gift. I will keep up on your beautiful journey. I am so proud to have had you as my first friend in Summerville. Oh, yea we use to tell everyone we were cousins- remember?! haha

I think it's so cool what you're doing...I actually have similar dreams (bringing people together, living on the land, sustainable farming practices, goat's milk galore, etc)...I'm looking for some part-time farm work right now, so if you know of any, I'd greatly appreciate a heads-up :) andrewdreiling@gmail.com
