Pennypack Farm Fall Festival

We enjoyed a beautiful weather day last Saturday at Pennypack Farm!  The crowd and other vendors were great also. 

Plenty of fresh treats and tomato pie were available, and there was a hayride and activities for kids.

There was music for all ages

 

We had our handwash station setup which many folks took advantage of to clean up and see how great our soap is. Removes grease in cold water and leaves your skin feeling wonderful.

New Happenings!

End of summer and start of autumn is always a busy time for Wash Tyme!  There are many festivals and fairs this time of year.  2 weekends ago we had a booth at the PA Renewable Energy Festival and did very well.  We had a booth just adjacent to the restrooms and put our soap there- as soon as folks try it they discover how nice it feels on your skin, when they find out it removes grease in cold water they are even more amazed! Of course for fairs where there are no bathrooms we also have our new portable field sink to try our soap on the spot!

Last weekend we headed out to western Pennsylvania to check out the 1st Mother Earth News Fair.  Here is a brief recap:

"Awesome! That pretty much sums up the response from most of the folks who attended our first MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR, held at the beautiful Seven Springs resort southeast of Pittsburgh. It was a different kind of energy we generated as the Fair brought together more than 9,000 people to participate in nearly 200 workshops, countless demonstrations on cheese making, beekeeping, building electric and wood-burning cars, seed saving, preserving and pickling, bread baking, meat processing, choosing solar power … the list goes on and on. Many sessions were standing room only and organizers had to relocate some sessions because of the large audiences the topics were drawing."

Needless to say we will be participating next year as long as our schedule allows. We drove out on 100% locally produced biodiesel and camped both nights.

Over the next 4-5 weeks we have a few local events so stay tuned and hope to see you out at one!

Be Clean and Be Green!

Jim Thorpe Earth Day 2010

Back in April we partcipated in the Earth Day Festival in scenic Jim Thorpe PA. The weather was great and we were a little too close to the stage but we had a great time. We had breakfast at the Albright Mansion which serves terrific food and has quite a tea selection.

Fox Chase Farm to Table Day

On June 5th we participated in the Farm to Table Day event at Fox Chase Farm. The Farm to Table Day was established as a way to help educate the community about all the facets of agriculture and help them better understand the origins of our food supply and the career and educational opportunities available to them through agriculture, even in urban areas.

We educated folks on how we make biodiesel and our glycerin soap from recycling used cooking oil. The weather was great!

We are interested to know if you like the music, some folks have commented that they do not like music playing unless they start it.  

We have a grab bag for discontinued scents at a terrific value of $2.50 per bar- get em while supplies last!

Also our gardeners soap is on the website- it has our glycerin based from recycled cooking oil and we also added beeswax, pumice, and cucumber melon scent. It really lathers up nice and cleans the dirtiest hands while still being gentle on your skin.  While supplies last!

Thanks for your support!

Delaware Valley College Agricultural Day

Or A-Day as it is known locally, actually is Friday through Sunday. It's an annual fundraiser and part science fair, part livestock show, and part folk festival. We were selling plenty of soap and talking to lots of people who were interested in what we are doing with recycling used cooking oil into biodiesel and our handmade glycerin soap! It was a tiring weekend for us but worth it.




We'll be at a Green Fair in Souderton PA this coming Saturday at the Care & Share Shoppe from 10am - 5pm http://www.thereporteronline.com/articles/2009/04/27/news/srv0000005137194.txt
