Juice sale

We have juice in the cooler with today's expiration date, but it still fresh. If you drink it fast or freeze it for smoothies or later use, then come in and snag some for $2 a gallon. Great deal on great juice!

Planting Pots

We had a great turn out for our Planting Planters and Hanging Baskets class. Based on the number of coupons redeemed in the greenhouse, I'm guessing there are lots of beautiful planters around town! We'd love to see what you ended up creating. Before the class, I hand painted these old beat up terracotta pots to give them a fresh look. 

I took my sons to the class and greenhouse with me. While they enjoyed looking at all the bright colored, beautiful flowers, they LOVED finding the "bugs". We saw butterflies, bees, and even a fat toad!

Just one of our several happy customers! He couldn't wait to surprise his wife for Mother's Day! (Flowers make a great gift if you haven't picked up anything for Mom yet....it is this Sunday!!)

Remember how I was going to stack those pots? Well, after seeing the great selection of flowers, I just couldn't help but buying a little of everything! I didn't have room to stack my pots anymore, so I just planted them like so. 

As the trailing flowers bloom, these will be so beautiful. Now to keep the boys from picking all the fresh blooms! How do you think they turned out?

Earth Day 2012

As Earth Day approaches, I wanted to share with you some things that The Red Barn does to stay environmentally friendly, and share with you a few simple ideas of how you can "go green" in your own life. As farmers, we work close with the land. It's our most valuable resource, and we try to protect it as such. Each year we plant hundreds of trees. When it is time for old trees to be taken out, new trees are then planted in return. We also irrigate with natural run off water from melted mountain snow instead of water that has been treated by a facility, which helps reduce our carbon footprint. We sell all of our pantry products in reusable glass jars, and pack our fruit in recycled cardboard and paper sacs instead of plastic. Our newest environmental project is using the left over apple mash from our cider mill and turning it into compost to enrich the soil in which we plant.

As a Red Barn customer, you can make small changes, that over time, can have a lasting impact on the environment. You can continue to shop for your produce locally, use reusable bags, and reporpose/upcyle your glass and cardboard containers. One of our family's favorite ways to repurpose cardboard is by making costumes. Check out some of these great ideas on ways to use your old cardboard apple box!

Need more ideas for using cardboard? Check out this blog here. This lady knows her stuff! Happy Earth Day. Visit us on facebook and let us know what you are doing to be more environmentally aware! Thanks for stopping by!
