Garvin Mesa Day, 2009

, , ,

Today was the third annual Garvin Mesa Day. All three wineries on our mesa – Terror Creek Winery, Stone Cottage Cellars, and Azura Cellars – and our farm all coordinate to have an open house day.

We did farm tours and had our smoked sheep kolbassi sausages available to sample. Monica from Small Potatoes Farm came with garlic braids, potatoes, and tomatoes. Margaret came and spun some yarn on the porch. Here you can see Ken manning the grill.

Things got really busy today – much busier than last year. We had a good day showing the sheep to lots of people. Of course, I was busy doing the tours. Ken did samples, and I never got too many pictures taken. Luckily, Jum Brett came and took a few additional pictures.

Here’s Monica cleaning garlic and Margaret spinning some yarn.

Here’s me, running the tour and talking about sheep, plus some of our adult rams enjoying their pasture.
