I'll be there peddling ducklings, hatching eggs, and anything else I can shove into the Subaru. My friend Erin Moshier sent this great information about her swap. Don't miss out!
Hi there, peeps.
Now that we're seeing some warmer days, the farm animals are having babies and eggs are fertile and most breeders are hatching like crazy. Spring is here! Our spring swap meet has been scheduled for Saturday, June 8th 2013
http://mdpoultryswap.blogspot.com/.
Along with the Huge sales area filled anything farm related, homemade, handcrafted, used, recycled, vintage, we will also have fun stuff for the whole family. Kids will enjoy pony rides, a poultry show, the moon bounce, ice cream and aisles of bunnies, sheep, goats, peafowl, chickens, baby chicks, turkeys and more. We will also have a pig roast, concession stand and a live bluegrass band playing from 10-2.
Anyone is welcome to participate as a vendor. It's a $15 flat fee to sell. There is no registration necessary but, there are a few regulations regarding the sale of livestock. Please check with our website for more info! Show up before 7:30 with your tables/chairs/canopy or just tail gate with you items. Folks selling poultry with 5 birds or less can sell for free.
Vendors: Please contact me with what you are planning on selling so I can compile THE LIST in which I use for advertising purposes.
New this year: We are now charging $2 per person for admission. Kids 17 and under are free. Due to us getting bigger, we are now in need of traffic control as well as parking attendants and this helps to cover those costs along with logistics, entertainment, advertising and kid's activities. I hope you understand. Camping is always free for swap goers (shoppers and vendors)
Also new this year: On Father's Day weekend, we will be hosting "Homesteading Days." This weekend will be filled with seminars featuring many aspects of sustainable living. Learn about goat soap making, canning, bread making, dutch oven cooking, harvesting rabbits, poultry processing, wine making, gardening and composting and we will have a seminar on "prepping." Experts in their field will be traveling to Green Hill Farm to share their knowledge and send us home with some goodies.
Please see our website for pricing and how to attend. Prices vary due to equipment needed and cost of googie bags. There will be free camping during that weekend for seminar goers.. so feel free to help in the garden, help feed the animals in the morning or just relax. You can build a fire and cook outdoors and just enjoy the day. http://mdhomestead.blogspot.com/
