These rolls were my favorite when I visited my grandmother on her farm. They look like corn muffins, but make no mistake, they are yeast rolls. On the outside they are firm and have a slight crunch. On the inside, they are light and fluffy. I recommend heating them in a warm oven and serving them with creamy butter. Sold in half dozen.

Home-made, Small-Batch from our farm in Hillsboro. Oasis: A Skin Quenching Relief Salve "For those nasty skin irritations meet a soothing.....Oasis. Harness nature's healing properties with this vitamins and fatty acid rich salve. Dosage: Scratch no more. Apply me to your skin irritation gently and thinly after it's clean. Reapply until I've sooted your irritation away." "Good morning May. So glad to see you. Hello everyone, we are glad to see you too. We return with another Spotlight product of the month. Another salve to fill your healing arsenal, Oasis, A Skin Quenching Relief Salve. As we begin to approach the arrival of Summer, we seek to be outside more and more. The Sun kisses us gently but for some of us, it could be drying to our skin or even irritating if we get too much. But no need to worry. Grab this salve to aid your skin in relief and healing with the nature's blessings along with an abundance of vitamins and fatty acids. When the desire to scratch that itch, please grab for the salve instead. Make sure the area is clean prior to application. A thin layer will do and reapply until much better." There is a slew of products currently on the market advertising that they help with ‘pain this’ or ‘anti-inflammatory that’, but I am here to tell you the proof is in the ingredients with Oasis. Turmeric, Barberry, and Quercetin are blended together perfectly to offer the relief your body needs through known anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant therapeutic actions while also reducing redness and that annoying itchy sensation. The beautiful blend of base oils is what really holds this salve together with a wide array of Fatty Acids, including alpha-linolenic acid, which acts as a neuroprotectant. I love this product because it encourages the Herbalists’ view and understanding that less is actually more. We can see this by the simple blend of natural ingredients that make up Oasis. ZAO Organics understands the process of natural synergy and has formulated a beautifully working product that penetrates deep into the skin, providing each dermal layer with nourishment and relief. I highly recommend this product to anyone experiencing eczema, psoriasis, tinea, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, varicose veins, and general issues involving pain and inflammation. - Rachael Dipple Certified Herbologist Holistic Health Practitioner

Tzatziki sauce is a Greek sauce made with a little something from a variety of our growers: fresh homemade raw milk Greek yogurt, dried dill from Cheryl’s Neighborhood Garden, locally sourced cucumber and garlic, lemon juice, quality olive oil, and salt. I put this sauce over lamb and rice Mediterranean bowl. You could use it in place if tartar sauce on fish, it makes a great spread for sandwiches, can be used as a dip for pretzels alongside hummus… It’s very good for you with the health benefits of the Greek yogurt and garlic. A must have for any sauce lover. Keep refrigerated, stir before using and use within a week.

Mexican Sunflowers: I have had an abundance of the sunflowers in my garden for late summer. I saved the pods and let them air dry, then pulled out the seeds. The Mexican Sunflowers are an annual flower. They will be packaged in a small zip lock bag with a label on them. I plant them in potting soil in March or April and let the seeds sprout. I use the plastic containers that you buy cherry tomato's in or strawberries. I call it my mini-greenhouse, being kept warm and the soil moist. When the sprouts have a few true leaves, they should have roots. Then I transplant them into the garden when the weather has warmed to above 50-60 degrees. The plants grow to 5 or 6 feet. Deadhead the spent blooms and save seed for next year, or give them to the compost fairy. Happy Planting Cheryl's Neighborhood Garden - CNG

I love this scent - smoky, but a bit sweet. Bergamot essential oil is a dark, spicy citrus smell, like orange peel rather than orange juice, and it pairs beautifully with the smoky dark scent of cedarwood essential oil to make a great fragrance for men, as well as women. Why use a shampoo bar? Partly to avoid all those disturbing ingredients in commercial shampoo! Then wouldn’t any nice, handmade bar soap work? Well, I’ve tried it, with my own goat milk soap, and it was not what I wanted! Hair, and even more importantly our scalp, needs ultra-moisturizing treatment, and this bar is specially made to do that. Hair gets oily because we wash off all our natural oils, prompting the scalp to make more. But that makes our hair oily, so we wash it again, further stripping our scalp of natural protective oils... And because we’re stripping everything off our hair - and scalp - we need a conditioner to make it soft and smooth and healthy (everything the natural oils were trying to do, incidentally). Then, since we used a heavy conditioner, our hair is weighed-down and needs washing... Or, we can both clean and condition with a natural soap that gets out dirt and oils but doesn’t strip our hair, and simultaneously conditions it - and our scalp - with the naturally-occurring glycerin, as well as the goat milk and vitamin-rich egg yolks. Treating the scalp well is so important to healthy hair - if your skin is nourished and moisturized, it doesn’t need to produce more oils, and so your hair actually stays clean longer, and the whole cycle is healthier for hair and skin! This luxurious bar soap contains moisturizing olive, avocado and almond oils, and lots of castor oil which is great for hair, and local lard from pastured, non-GMO-fed pigs from Cove Creek Farm, hand-rendered here at Solace Farm, to give the shampoo stability and firmness. I also use my goats milk and some of my duck egg yolks for even more moisturizing. This bar doubles as a spectacular facial cleanser, in addition to being an amazingly conditioning shampoo, definitely the most moisturizing soap I've ever made. When using as shampoo, follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse (I use a small spritzer bottle) if you have harder water, and if you have soft water you probably don’t need anything, and there's no need for conditioner, although I sometimes use a teeny bit of diluted commercial organic conditioner as a leave-in detangler for my kids hair. Since I started making and using bar shampoo 10 years ago, this is all I use and I love it! Scented with only natural essential oils of Cedar & Frankincense, with Lavender and Patchouli. Molded bars are 4 oz, complete ingredients also on label, packaged in a windowed brown paperboard box.

And because we’re stripping everything off our hair - and scalp - we need a conditioner to make it soft and smooth and healthy (everything the natural oils were trying to do, incidentally). Then, since we used a heavy conditioner, our hair is weighed-down and needs washing... Or, we can both clean and condition with a natural soap that gets out dirt and oils but doesn’t strip our hair, and simultaneously conditions it - and our scalp - with the naturally-occurring glycerin, as well as the goat milk and vitamin-rich egg yolks. Treating the scalp well is so important to healthy hair - if your skin is nourished and moisturized, it doesn’t need to produce more oils, and so your hair actually stays clean longer, and the whole cycle is healthier for hair and skin! This luxurious bar soap contains moisturizing olive, avocado and almond oils, and lots of castor oil which is great for hair, and local lard from pastured, non-GMO-fed pigs from Cove Creek Farm, hand-rendered here at Solace Farm, to give the shampoo stability and firmness. I also use my goats milk and some of my duck egg yolks for even more moisturizing. This bar doubles as a spectacular facial cleanser, in addition to being an amazingly conditioning shampoo, definitely the most moisturizing soap I've ever made. When using as shampoo, follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse (I use a small spritzer bottle) if you have harder water, and if you have soft water you probably don’t need anything, and there's no need for conditioner, although I sometimes use a teeny bit of diluted commercial organic conditioner as a leave-in detangler for my kids hair. Since I started making and using bar shampoo 10 years ago, this is all I use and I love it! Scented with only natural essential oils of Lavender, Anise and Patchouli. Molded bars are 4 oz, complete ingredients also on label, packaged in a windowed brown paperboard box.

This is one of my favorite scents, and an unusual one - I love the licorice scent of Anise, but ... more
