The Medals
Gold, Silver & Bronze Soap-on-a-rope!
When Em first told me that "next year I want to make soap-on-a-rope medals"
it only took me a moment to realize that this idea was
way too cool to not do this year.
I asked (begged) her, if there was any way
she could fake it for this year, please find a way.
(Soap making is, after all, more like cheese making than bread baking - it involves curing & drying and such. Drop into the shop and watch their 12 minute video sometime - it's full of information about the farm and the family and you'll learn all about how they make their soap and other products).
Thank you Em and Conor! I loved them.
Looking forward to next year's!
Congratulations to the runners who took one home.
This one belongs to Wade Sweet & Piper, I'll get it to you Wade
