Weekly Check In January 24

Updated: Jan 27, 2023

Happy Wednesday again from everyone at The Buzzard Farm!


As January comes to an end, we are planning a few fun additions to the shop for Valentine's Day!


I hand foraged pokeberries in the fall and hand dyed some of our fleece and made this stunning pink yarn. I did not create a ton of it but enough to make some really cute scrunchies. These are just like our normal scrunchies that we sell but dyed pink! They are perfect for Valentine's Day or even Easter Baskets!

We will have these in the shop in a limited quantity starting this Friday! Once they are gone, that's it until pokeberry season so don't hesitate if you are interested. These scrunchies will be 9.99 and that includes shipping.


Other great products we have for Valentine's Day are our farm themed soy wax candles. These are hand poured on our farm and they an incredibly long time! This year, we are discontinuing our glass jars. It is a goal of mine to source everything in our shop from either a local business or make it as waste free as humanly possible.


One of the ways we make sure our shop minimizes waste is by wrapping our items in compostable paper. We do our best to minimize the use of poly mailers and I recycle boxes, packing paper, and bubble wrap. This way, our business can be as carbon neutral as possible.


I hope you all have a great week and we will check in again next week with updates on our new alpaca additions on the farm.

The Buzzard Farm is a small, regenerative fiber farm in the Pennsylvanian Appalachian Region. As an aspiring carbon neutral fiber producer, we hope to merge farming and cloth production by means of knitting machines and looms. Our ultimate goal is to produce clothing as a small scale manufacturer, designer, and fiber supplier. By enacting responsible rotational grazing, composting manure to spread on healing lands, we hope to help our planet by greatly improving our overall soil health while keeping our own carbon footprint as small as possible.

Fiber farming today is an uphill battle. Competing with fast fashion simply isn't an option. Each garment is made slowly and until we reach our goal of becoming a factory led company made from locally made cloth, we will be taking donations to contribute to our animal husbandry and ongoing slow fashion work.

Joining us on this mission to local sustainable cloth is the Rustbelt fibershed, our local fibershed sector. 30 percent of all donations we receive goes directly to their community involvement.
