This season's garlic is braided into a perfect decoration for your kitchen. It will be difficult for you to decide whether to use the garlic in your cooking or just look at it. You will be able to do both for a long time since our long storing garlic keeps for about 1 year. The variety of garlic we use is called New York White, the traditional variety found in New York's Italian markets. It is also known as Polish White.

Garlic braids are available for sale usually starting in July. Order soon since we typically sell out of our limited quantity by mid-fall. Garlic braids are $6.50 each for a 9-head braid as shown here.

We try to have crisp, fresh lettuce available all the time. Right now, it is especially good tasting. There are typically over a dozen different varieties of colorful lettuce growing. We mix all of them together so your salads look like a Mexican pinata exploded!

We have white, black, and as shown here, gray fleeces available. (Contact us for availability.) Typically we sell raw fleeces, straight from the sheep's back. Icelandics are usually sheared twice per year, once in late winter/early spring and once in mid fall. These sheep grow wool amazingly fast. The shorter early spring fleece is fine for felting. Handspinners value the longer, clean fall fleeces such as this one.

In general, the fleece of Icelandics is dual coated, with a fine, soft undercoat called thel and a longer, coarser outer coat called tog. The tog fiber with a spinning count of 56-60 and a micron count of 27-30, grows to a length of 6-8 inches in six months. It is lustrous, strong, water- and wear-resistant, and sheds off the rain and weather. Thel is the soft downy undercoat, with a spinning count of 64-70 and a micron count of 19-22, growing to a length of 2-4 inches. The thel provides the loft for the outer coat and insulation for the sheep. Tog is a true wool, and is not a kemp or guard hair. The two coats can be separated by hand for special projects, or they may be processed together. The traditional lopi is a lightly spun blend of tog and thel. Thel is very soft and downy, with an irregular crimp and can be used for baby garments, and for the fine shawls in the style of the Wedding Shawl. The tog is similar to mohair- wavy or corkscrewed rather than crimped and is wonderful in worsted spinning.
