WINE CHARMS BY ELLIE: Of course, we find her charming because she’s our 10-year-old daughter, but now you can be wine-charmed by Ellie. She’s been creating her own line of hand-beaded wine charms. A mix of colors, styles and pricing, ranging from a very affordable $3.50 to $12.00 per set.


Chicken and Egg UpdateAmys_woodhaven_egg_layers
Unfortunately, we’ve lost 3 birds in the last week to predators. Yes, a fox or a fisher finally found us, so for now, the birds are not free ranging and our production is down a little. On the positive side, we have moved to all organic food thanks to a tip that Agri-Coop in Coleman blends their own organic chicken feed.
Also, the 3 young hens, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and Tonto should be coming into production soon. It turns out the Lone Ranger is aptly named as he is our only rooster now. With the change to organic food, the cost will be $3.00 per dozen. Thanks to everyone who has supported this venture!


Garden2010_Amys_at_WoodhavenGarden_Amys_2010Garden Update!
The organic garden is in! When you visit Woodhaven you will see on the parking lot level that we’ve expanded our gardening space by 40% this year. This has allowed us to add additional items this year for your enjoyment, including 3 different kinds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, red cabbage, pumpkins, blueberries, and several new kinds of squash. We have approximately 10 different varieties of tomatoes and 2 kinds of eggplant. We’ve already been enjoying arugula, salad greens and radishes. In order to share the garden to its maximum advantage this year, we’ll be doing many soup, salad and side courses as "chef’s choice", so we can offer what is at its absolute peak.


A Few of My New Favorite Things I Want to Share with You:
Nicolet_book_artist_JoanwhiteJoan White’s new book, "Pictures in Wood."
More than a coffee table book, it’s an intimate look at the artist’s 25-plus year career and what she sees as her "best work so far". Learn what inspires her to paint her breathtaking images of the natural world, using the natural grain of the wood which her husband Ken painstakingly prepares for her.
A great gift at $29.99. Available at Nicolet Studio or Frame of Mind Gallery in Lakewood or here at Woodhaven.
