It’s time for the Mini Market at Hartland Farms on Sat. from 10am to 1pm. We will have our Honey, Candles, Soaps, and Hand Cream. These items will also be available at the Howell winter market on Sunday between 10am & 2pm.

We make parts of our candles from the wax that we get from extracting the honey. This wax is called “cappings.” The wax melter separates the honey that is left in the cappings as it melts the wax. This time of year when the bees are resting, we take the wax and melt it again, filter it some more, and make the soaps, hand cream, and candles that we will need for the year.

How about starting the New Year out with lamb? To clear up a few misconceptions, let’s start with what is a “lamb”?  The term “lamb” is considered less than a year old. Once sheep reach the age of one year, it is then called “Mutton.” When sheep reach Mutton status the taste is often a turnoff, described by some as chewing on a wool blanket. At Turk Farms our lambs reach 8 months of age and are fed free range — they get plenty of fresh water and are free to roam our pastures for grass. We supplement with hay in the drier season.

Now how to prepare Lamb?  Well, the options are many. You may choose Roasting, Broiling, Grilling,Pan-broiling, Pan Fry, or simply Braising. What type of cuts are available? If you’re trying lamb for the first time, you might want to try Ground Lamb or our Lamb Cubes. Ground Lamb is great for burgers, meatballs, or casseroles. Lamb Cubes are fantastic in stews and kabobs. If you’re looking for cuts to feed the masses, look at Leg Of Lamb, Shoulder Roast, or Ribs. Both the Leg Of Lamb and Shoulder Roast are available as Bone-in or Boneless. The Leg is usually roasted while the Shoulder is either Roasted or Braised. If you are cooking for a special occasion dish, then we suggest Loin Chops. They are a petite cut which may be prepared by Broiling, Grilling, Pan-Broiling, or Pan-Fry.

My name is Pat. I have been keeping bees for over 25 years and worked with my father and his bees before that. I was also a Michigan State Department of Agriculture bee inspector for three years.

As of this year, I am running 50 colonies and hope to increase each year. My colonies are in Livingston, Oakland and Lapeer counties. My husband, Don and I, process the honey in a raw form, and make soaps, hand creams, and candles.  We are available to collect some swarms.

We sell our products out of our home. In the summer you will also find us at the Hartland Farmers Market and the Antique Tractor Shows in Oakley and Clio, Michigan.  For the winter we are at the indoor Howell Winter Market on the second and forth Sundays of the month from 10 Am to 2 PM.  This market is held in the Opera House.  The second Saturday of each winter month we are at the mini-market at Hartland Farms from 10 AM to 1 PM.

Farmer Eric and I took a well deserved break from our farm for a few days. We attended the Great Lakes Grower’s Expo at the DeVoss Convention Center in Grand Rapids, MI We saw a lot of great “stuff” at the trade show. We learned a lot of neat ideas we plan to bring to our farm and the Hartland Farmer’s Market.

Welcoming us to the trade show.
