Jaring everything

I have decided ball jars, well glass jars, are one of my favorite things to store stuff in. Since they come in all shapes and sizes I have found many uses for them lately.  Here's what I did in my bathroom 


I'll post the recipe I used for the lavender bath bombs I made in the big jar in another post. But I think they look awesome.  

I also decided to get rid of the big table top spice rack in my kitchen to save some countertop space.  I already have a built in spice rack above my stove so there is no need for it.  So I sold it and then found these amazing jars on Amazon 
Then I realized that For Your Kitchen was a vendor that sold these and it just so happens that I live 5 minutes from the store.  So I bought a case of them today. I found some herbs at Walmart, the brand Wild Oats, that sells their herbs in square glass jars and that's where I fell in love.  I love how they fit so perfectly on a shelf next to each other.  Such a great space saver.  They also have a little shaker lid inside that is great.  
So then I decided to use my fun little cricut machine and make little chalkboard stickers for the labels.  
Pretty adorable eh? I haven't bought a chalk pen yet, but they will be so cute when I get the spice names on there.  
I also put the spices I use the most in these cute jelly jars.  I plan on making round labels for the lids for these ones. 

I loved how it turned out!!

Dash of Granola Farm

 Welcome to our little farms blog.  My cute little family and I have decided to start a little farm and sell produce at some local farmers markets around town.  We just thought of doing this about a month ago so it's pretty new.  We are planning on having a much bigger and better garden next year so we can take more produce to the markets. Right now we are attending the Kaysville USU Farmers Markets on Thursdays from 5-8.  Next Thursday will be our last market till next June.  
I've already been planning our garden for next year and I plan on expanding the garden to accommodate the sales for next summer.  
A few crops we will have next year are:
Lumina (white) Pumpkins 
Regular Halloween pumpkins
Garlic
Garlic braids 
Kale
Winter squash
Peppers

Tomatoes 
Carrots

Purple potatoes

Im so excited for next year. It's going to be fun! My little guy is just learning how to walk this year so he will be fun to help pick and sell next year! 

 It will be amazing! 
Look for us next Thursday at the Kaysville farmers market!!
