I have this little dream....I'm sort of scared to reveal it, but I'm going to anyway. When we dreamed up this farm, built a barn, bought goats, got chickens I started to think of us and the farm as interconnected. We want the farm to be self-sustaining and for awhile I was selling enough eggs to buy the chicken feed, but seasons change and it became very clear that for the farm to be self-sustaining it would have to be more than eggs, kids, and (fingers crossed) milk and cheese. That's when I started dreaming.....
The things I love to do most are sew, quilt, craft, etc. and about the same time that I started thinking of us as the part of the farm I started to think about, dream about, wonder if I could actually sell my quilts and such as part of the farm. I started by making fabric flowers as lapel pins and I labeled them Owl Tree Farm Handmade...they sold in the shop for awhile, then no more....Now that I have time, I've been working on some other things too.

You should seriously consider giving Etsy a try. I know someone who sells her quilts on there and does pretty good.
I would say Etsy, too. Craft fairs can work, but you have to go to the right ones, or it's a waste.
I wish you all the luck in the world. I would love to see you do it!!!
