We just need your contact info, and we'll keep you up to date ... there will be no obligation.<br />
<br />
We plan on making deliveries to Raleigh on a regular basis, and as always, Nashville, Spring Hope and Rocky Mount.Kristi Brantleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15983399748524012448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405104569021623844.post-51595410687573367112010-09-23T16:42:00.000-04:002010-09-23T16:42:58.575-04:00Midtown Market on SaturdayWe'll be back at North Hills for the Midtown Market as usual on Saturday from 8am to 12pm. Our hens are slowing down, so eggs will be in short supply until our younger pullets start laying (probably in the next week or so).<br />
<br />
We are going to start taking a contact list for folks who will want eggs over the winter once the market closes. We plan to make a drop off once every 1-2 weeks depending on demand.<br />
<br />
Of course, we'll have the goat's milk soap as well, and soon may have enough production to sell milk for pet consumption.Kristi Brantleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15983399748524012448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405104569021623844.post-58256743274394659852010-07-29T14:37:00.002-04:002010-07-29T14:37:37.937-04:00Soap available in NashvilleOur goat's milk soap is now available in Nashville at Brantley's Studio, 227 West Church St.<br />
