April at Sweetlife Farm

April. The pond gets louder every night, as more frogs add voice to the cacophony of spring. We sleep with the door open, and the sound flavors our dreams.

The shelves at Sweetlife Farm  emerge from winter's garden respite restocked with old favorites and new treats. The whole place buds in anticipation of a new season brimming with old and new connections filled with people, nature and ideas. Just in time for the political season to heat up, you will find soaps that encourage cleanliness in the political process....

Did you know? Selections of Sweetlife Farm can be purchased at Bay Hay and Feed, which is open seven days a week. Find us throughout the store: farmhouse soaps and a case filled with jams, jellies, seasoned salts and more are in the gift shop of the historic building that just celebrated its 100 birthday. Summerhill Girls Eggs are restocked in the produce case every Thursday or Friday, and in the new nursery building you will find our new Carrot and Poppyseed Gardeners Soap, made with locally grown poppy seeds and fresh carrots.

Sweetlife will begin attending the Bainbridge Farmers market on April 21st. Stop by and check out our spiffy new look!

Sweetlife Farm is a lifestyle: we do it ourselves. Make stuff "from scratch." Live simply. Play with food. Eat well. Growing pesticide free food for our table and growing or sourcing natural ingredients for the products found on this website are some of the ways we continually seek to incorporate “green” principles in our lives and products. We like sharing ideas with others about “walking the talk” of sustainability and the good life made of living well and fully. Ours is a classic cottage business, now 12 years old, growing our passions. 

Quality is the focus of the individual ingredients that go into everything we make in our on-site commercial kitchen, whether it is a bar of soap or a jar of jam.  In this time of ready-made-fast food-prepackaged consumerism, the labor--and the joy--comes from growing many of the ingredients, preserving them for later use and carefully sourcing the ones we don't. At Sweetlife Farm, the care starts at ground level, with the dirt.
