Our first summer carrots with their greens. These are a short and fat variety, so sweet and flavorful they will make you think you've never really met a carrot before. So good just raw. Or roasted, if you can wait that long to eat them.

Description: 1 pound (16 ounces) wide mouth glass jar with a white screw on lid full of spring, raw creamed honey. Creamed honey is raw honey that has been mixed quickly in order to break down the honey crystals. This equates to a smooth, creamy honey that tastes just like regular honey but without the granular texture like crystallized raw honey. There are no added substances. Creamed honey is easier to spoon and it comes in the wide mouth jar that's easier for use over time.

Description: This listing is for Cinnamon Spice. She is a top notch, Shetland fleece. Her coloring is a warm brown cinnamon color. She is an adult fleece. She is a pretty soft brown fleece. She has a 3 inch staple length (locks) and weighs 2 lbs. 14 oz. Raw fleeces are 100% organic Shetland wool (raised without pesticides or other chemical treatments) raised here on the farm from our flock of sheep. Shetland wool is famously soft yet durable. They hail from the Shetland Islands just north of the coast of Scotland. They are considered a primitive breed of sheep and are typically smaller sheep in size. They are hardy in most climates (they fare well here in Michigan) and are good nurturers to their young. Shetland wool became famous from Shetland sweaters sold at L.L. Bean and Lands’ End. Shetland fleeces come in many varied natural colors ranging from pure white to shades of gray, (light grays, blue-grays, steel gray), shades of brown (fawns, golden browns, reddish browns, grayish browns, dark browns) and black. Some fleeces may be spotted or marked with different colors. Raised and processed in Michigan. Shetland wool is great for spinning, felting or any other type of wool products. It has been cleaned by hand picking and skirted but not washed. Rustic Roots Farm is now part of the Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em initiative. We are listed in the Livestock Conservancy breeders directory. It’s a great program encouraging folks to raise and sell wool from their heritage breeds listed on the Conservation Priority List. Please mention if you are supporting this program and would like the stamps to earn gift certificates and coupons through the Livestock Conservancy. https://livestockconservancy.org/index.php/involved/internal/SE2 https://www.facebook.com/www.farm.rusticroots
