Goat Milk Soaps At Sacred Tree Market

 Goat milk and beer sounds like an interesting combination. A great soap to buy as a gift for a man ,but also a great soap fullstop. The alcohol in the beer is lost in the process,but the benefits of the beneficial 'hops' in the beer remain. The elements in the hops are known to soothe irritated skin and contain skin softening amino acids.
Goat milk soap with a interesting , fun twist that your skin will love. The soap lathers well and some people even use this particular soap as a shampoo bar.

 Natural goat milk soap is really 'natural ' here at Little Black Cow Farm. Kim gets up in the morning , milks the goat, then freezes the milk ( the process requires frozen goats milk) . Then the next day, soap is made!
We feel the soap is even more natural now because we make all our goat milk soaps with olive oil from Aroyln Grove Olive oils from Lambs Valley (just 10-15 mins from our farm!) . You can purchase their oil at Sacred Tree market also.

 And this is Little Black Cow Farm's new creation which has been tried and tested . It's the 'Super Food Shampoo Bar'! The super foods included in this shampoo bar are not the traditional super foods you read about ...but super foods just the same. With the strength of beer....the power of goats milk and the superpower of bees wax...this is the shampoo bar your hair has been waiting for.
If you have frizzy fly away hair that no GHD hair straightener can tame...then this is the shampoo bar for you!!

So...while you are desperately waiting for Sacred Tree Market to be on once more...all your stall holders are working away at new creations ready for the next market.
Keep thinking about us and keep thinking about the next market .

If you are interested in a particular soap , just let us know. We stock 15 soaps per market in conjunction with all our other products such as seedlings etc. and are happy to stock the things on Sacred Tree Market Day our customers are most interested in.
Just email: littleblackcowbeef@gmail.com for more information on what we are bringing on the day.

What Happened at the April 13th Market?

 Sacred Tree Market - April 13th .
This was the first stall after the expressway was finished.The people still came and most said it was easier and quicker!

 We gave the new chalk board a work out.

 Our stall in the lovely shade on a Sunny autumn day.

 We sadly sold Cocky the metal corrugated iron sculpture but he has gone to a lovely home. He doesn't eat much and requires no looking after.

 The herbs went like hot cakes.

 People loved finding out about our mozzie repellent and other natural products.

 The goat milk soap story was avidly listened to as we explained the goat even has to be milked on Sacred Tree Market Day and Kim had to get up reallllly early!
Lots of people called in to pick up our brochures too!

 Some rain come hovering ,but it didn't happen. Always a worry when you have bath fizz around.

 Our bees wax furniture polish was sniffed and people were in raptures over the rose geranium essential oil smell ( "it's just like musk sticks!")

 Mothers day gifts were purchased.

 More mother's day gifts were purchased.

 People got to find out how to use thai herbs in their cooking.

 And we had amazing stalls around us too!

 Just love these wooden toys!

 And of course who can go past the food at Sacred Tree Market!

 Or the drink. This one is watermelon and mint!

 Then there were the gluten free scones at the guides stall. And after that , the amazing baklava at the greek stall.

 The beautiful authentic cut outs at the Kirkton School Sustainability Stall. Imagine the time it took to make this beautiful work of art.

Kim found a gorgeous beanie at Pleasant View Angora's stall . Love finding hand made items like this!

And Sue's herbals had the foaming hand soap that is used in the farm stay rooms at The Little Black Cow Farm Stay.


After a successful thriving market day , we look forward to the next market. The next market is May 18th, 2014.
Mark it in your calendar now so that you don't miss out.

Thank You!!

Thank you to all our lovely customers at Sacred Tree Market today. It was wonderful to hear people had travelled down the new freeway or had come from our local area to visit our farm stall.We met people just starting a vege garden or herb garden, kids who wanted to plant peas so they could get them out of the pods, families into recycling who just loved ,loved,loved our jiffy pot seedlings and one wonderful lady who drove early  all the way to Branxton just to make sure she got one of our corrugated iron sculptures before they were sold out!
And ..Kim ...well, Kim nearly spent all her money on wonderful mother's day gifts at all the other amazing stalls at Sacred Tree.

 Looking forward to seeing you all again at the next Sacred Tree Market. on May 18th in Branxton, our lovely little village just near the vineyards.

Kim & Helen.

Sacred Tree Market April 13-Site 92 Under The Gumtrees!!

The free way is finished. Easy to get into and easy to get out …. Our little village of Branxton finally has its small town feel back. The path to Sacred Tree Market is now a pleasant drive to somewhere gentle and quiet ,but vibrant and alive as the village market of 'Sacred Tree Market ' brings our community and travellers alike together in one place.

Helen has been drying calendula petals grown on her farm at Cindale. The vibrant orange petals almost whisper their healing powers as your hand gently brushes over them. 

Cindale Herb Farm's famous Calendula ointment will be on sale at Sacred Tree Market this Sunday. Local families around Branxton use this as their 'one stop ' shop for sunburn, ezcema and itches.

And now...just in time for Mother's Day , Helen will be selling her mini purse size containers of 'Cindale Calendula Ointment' . Just the right gift for busy mums to have handy at any moment!









Kim has been busy in her temple of peace (ie. the shade house) getting seedlings ready for Sacred Tree. Parsley, bunching onions,kale,broccolli, lettuce ,broadbeans...all those deliciously healthy Winter Crops ready to plant in the school holidays. The jiffy pots are proving to be a winner for beginner gardeners who buy from our stall , as the pots just get popped straight into the ground with the plant ...no waste, no plant shock ...they just keep right on growing!!



There is something so rewarding about growing your own vegetable patch. Helen and Kim both specialise in heirloom varieties of seedlings wherever possible.We want you to have something in your garden that is good for you and really different from anything you may get off a supermarket shelf.







April is a gardeners' favourite time of year for getting seedlings in.It is not too hot and not too cold. A perfect time of year for setting up a vege patch or adding to one you have already nutured. With this rain staying around, the gardens at Little Black Cow Farm and Cindale Herb Farm are vibrantly green and growing!

Have you ever wondered if you could have your own herb garden?
Helen is  famous for her herb knowledge and it is no wonder her own herb garden looks amazing. Sage , coriander, thyme,worm wood ,chocolate mint ( everyone's favourite!), parsley...the list goes on. If you have a question about growing herbs and what they are good for...just ask us!

A herb plant is also a great place to start for beginner gardeners and a great gift for Mother's Day. You know just how expensive it is to buy leaves and herbs at the supermarket....just imagine walking out your front door and picking as much as you needed. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Our magical jiffy pots can even be purchased seperately with heirloom seeds . What a great Mother's Day gift or alternative Easter gift these little packs would make!

 Kim's natural hand made goat milk soaps will be on sale at Sacred Tree Markets with some special designs made especially for Mother's Day. Each morning as the early fog lifts over Branxton, Kim is milking her Saanen doe , Snow . Snow milks about 2 litres per day and it is this fresh milk that makes our goat milk soaps so very special.

 Zzzzzz...is that a mosquito? No problem if you have purchased Helen's natural citronella insect repellent at the Sacred Tree Market. How lovely to be able to put something natural on your skin ...this repellent as a citrus smell that is lovely for us but not so great for insects.







Ah.....'Cindale Herb Farm's All Purpose Spray'! Just the answer for a gift for yourself or someone else. Once again, all natural and the best thing of all ....it works!! If you have a benchtop that looks impossible to clean in a hurry...then you need 'All Purpose Spray!'
It smells good too.

 Cindale Herb Farm's herb markers add a touch of colour to the garden and a touch of colour to your life. Plus ... you know what you are eating weeks later when you can't remember the name of that herb you planted! Helen will have these at the Sacred Tree Market Stall on Sunday.

Oh and due to popular demand , there will be some more delightfully quirky corragated iron sculptures at the Sacred Tree Market from Little Black Cow Farm just waiting for you to love them.

So ....jump on the free way .......














and hop on down to the little village of Branxton ...come one , come all , come to the Sacred Tree Market and visit our farm stall!
We are site 92 , just next to Cee Cee's nursery stall and the Hand Made Toys stall. Look for us under the gum trees...close to the main road. Come and have a chat about gardening!
