Sunday, July 20 at the Handicraft House.

The weather’s clearing up. Stop on your way to-or-from your travels at the Handicraft House and Trading Post.

Vendors are on sight and ready to show you their wares.

Don’t forget — dog biscuits are available (TS made extra stock, with assistance from PN and The Friendly Owl’s Nest owlettes).

TS processes her own sweet potato flour. It’s the only way she can ensure its quality (“and that’s why she has to charge a bit extra, compared to other flavours”…sez PN).

Hot dogs?

Come on up-over-down to Tobermory Harbour. Vendors for you. Delicious (UV-sterlized) well water for your dogs! Wednesday, July 16/25.

Our weekly haunt, up on the Northern Bruce Peninsula.
We’re helping our neighbours, The Friendly Nest, deliver bees, chicks, and turtles.

How do you waste the most time every day?

I enjoy UNSTRUCTURED time watching our hummingbird feeding stations, and the drama it entails!

Time wasting? Nah.

Dog biscuits? Thereโ€™s ALWAYS time to sell dog treats at the Handicraft House.

New vendor on site too.

Why do the sweet potato biscuits cost moreโ€ฆ(?)โ€ฆ

โ€ฆthan the wheat and peanut? Answers: (i) TS uses peanut FLOUR as she mills it herself. You can ask her WHY she does that instead of using peanut butter; (ii) TS peels, shreds, dehydrates 20 pounds HOOMAN-GRADE (as a dog would think it) sweet potato, and mills it; (iii) see this video as evidence of TSโ€™ effortsโ€ฆ

And a GIF too!

CLICK TO ACTIVATE. Sift, sift, sift…

(iv) when there’s 2 dehydrators running for at least 24 hours, it taxes our off-grid power system (when it’s sunny, the PV panels generate all the kW we need [when it’s cold and rainy, we must rely on our propane powered GENNY-GENERAC]); (v) TS makes these biscuits in small-batches… so there’s no economy of scale (no Purina Dog Chow nor MilkBone [blech] factories); (vi), And that’s why TS must charge a premium for the sweet potato biscuits. TS’ efforts justify the prices for all of the product line for that matter!

If ya only have 5-6 bucks CDN, consider these DOGGY BAGS.

By the way: PN has witnessed what the kitchen looks like after a sweet potato milling session. Imagine taking a cooked pumpkin AND a fully dried out gourd, and tossing it into a gasoline-powered turbine-fan. Yeahhhhhhh. IT HITS THE FAN. Cleanup at the rock farm, eh.
