We are farmers
selling family organic olive oil,
shoemaking (Farm Shoes Handmade),
herbal & dietary consulting,
and making Birch Moon Herbals organic bodycare!
Right now I am most excited about teaching shoemaking. I do individual or small group classes. This summer I will be scheduling both some full-day, 9-hour, (organic lunch included) sandal-making classes (great for distance learners) as well as a 3-class-session, 3 hours each, once a week for 3 weeks. Let me know by email sarah@farmshoes.com if you are interested! It’s lots of fun and very satisfying to make something you can wear daily!
About our FARM
Birch Moon Farm & Herbals is at the top of the hill in Shutesbury, MA, surrounded by birch trees and overlooking the beautiful Quabbin wilderness. We are Keith and Sarah, your growers. We grow everything organically, adding much to the soil in the way of minerals and compost. Our vegetables and herbs are nutrient-dense, satisfying more than just your hunger! We are a solar-powered home!
AND we sell delicious Extra Virgin first cold-press organic olive oil from Olea Estates in Sparta, Greece ~ my extended family who has had organic olive oil production in the family for about 150 years. We sell it at the wholesale price ($40/tin cash only) and do not ship, so come and pick some up if you’re nearby!
We have a beautiful flower garden as well as many medicinal herb gardens. Call or email to take a private class and learn to identify herbs, their uses, or make salves, hand cream, tinctures (extracts) or herb honeys. Whatever you’ve always wanted to learn about herbs and traditional herbal medicine, if we know it, we’re happy to teach you!
Hey Sarah,
