Plants used to use brightly coloured fruits, birds, burrs or the wind to aid with their seed dispersal. Now they have us. Our favorite garden friends are now available through our mail-order seed company. Now you can have a taste of Piebird in your own garden! Vegetable seeds and plant friends.
New Piebird shirts
The new Piebird shirts are done! They are all different styles and colours of recycled shirts that Sherry has gathered from here-and-there, Yan designed them and our friend Andy stenciled them! They look great! Contact us to order one or come to our events and wrassle for one!
New Woodshed
The Hobohouse
For farm help to stay in, we built a hobohouse. Contact us about creative retreats, farm-stays or what we call hoboing (a WWOOF-styled stay).
Shiitake Mushrooms & Oak Buttons
We've been harvesting Oak Branches in the forest to start our Shiitake Mushroom farm with. It's great fun, we load them on the tobboggan and then slide down the hill through the forest. The tiny ends of the branches Sherry is turning into Oak-Limb-Buttons to sell here and at The Hibou Boutique.
Dandelion Wine and Dandelion Coffee
We've been roasting and sipping our own Dandelion Root Coffee for a a few years now but this spring as well we've started a couple batches of Dandelion Flower Wine. Dandelions are good friends!
We'll follow the Dandelion Wine steps on the site here as we do them for those of you who want to participate at home.
Step 1: Pick a pretty basket of flowers on a dry sunny morning and cut the petals from the green.
Solar Shower
New Tables!
Before we could jump on our other Spring projects, we wanted to make new tables for the dinning room. The recycled old wood makes them fit in with the house beautifully!
