Greetings Everyone!
We've just passed our first month of operating the Queen's Hamlet Co-op and it's amazing how far we've come! Here's a look at some of our accomplishments and other related Co-op News.
Goat Milk, Goat Cream, Goat Butter and Goat Cheese. For a community that existed on Grilled Fish for the first few weeks, this is certainly a welcome addition. The Cheese Factory is up-and-running and we have our own QH Co-op labels.
Speaking of Goats, the waiting list for the Adopt-a-Goat program is still open though we've experienced a bit of a delay in the actual adoption process. As luck would have it, 3 out of our first 4 kids are males (necessary but not great for a first adoption).
The guys are currently hanging out together awaiting their turns at parenthood. Hopefully more females will arrive in the next cycle.
Besides our flock of eight goats, we have three chicken coops in operation and 33 fields/trees under cultivation.
The new additions to our agricultural endeavors being Ka-la-na Trees (aren't they pretty!) and Rence. Still looking for some good RL substitutions for these names so if you have any ideas please let me know.
All of this growing has also provided us with a great start to our Wine & Spirits section in the Market .
We've got Beer, Mead, Sake, 2016 Reserve Wine and Potato Paga, many of which can be used in different recipes. Bottled Ka-la-na and Rence Beer will be coming soon.
Our next task for the Market is to fill up all the empty Gourmet Meals boxes so if you want to make some extra coins, make a meal and sell it to the Co-op. Every box that's out can be made from our local ingredients. More boxes to follow as other ingredients become more plentiful.
The CHALLENGES have already seen a number of Champions. Congratulations to everyone for their accomplishments to-date!
We have our very first BLACKSMITH APPRENTICE and she's busy making a set of startup tools for our next one. Please join the waiting list if you'd like to give smithing a try.
Last, but not least, we'll be hosting a May Day Country Dance. Contributions of food would be appreciated for these festivities so please start cooking. I'll bring the wine & other alcoholic beverages.
Thanks for all the fun!
