Berry Update!
Farming and Mother Nature have a unique, love hate relationship. This is especially true when it comes to strawberries. We need the warm sun to ripen the berries but not too much because then they ripen too fast. We need the rain but not too much rain, berries don’t tend to last too long when […]
Make that special teacher feel loved!
Coming up with the appropriate gift option for a teacher is a tough one. I mean they spend all day molding the minds of our kids, we want to make sure that we say Thank You! We asked our resident teacher/shortbread packer Mrs. Clarke, what gifts she appreciated most when she was a teacher […]
Perfect gift ideas for the person who has (and gives) everything!
Mothers, how much do we love them! They do so much for us and ask for so little. They deserve to be thanked all year long but Christmas is a wonderful time to show mom just how incredible you think she is. Forty Acre wood products are stunning works of art created by Calder […]

It may be cold and snowy outside today, but we are not quite done with fall yet! If you haven’t picked up the perfect pumpkin (or got lost in a corn maze!) now is the time. Our fall festival runs right through to Halloween so this is a great weekend for all the little ghost […]
