Our farm family continues to grow and we are thankful for everyone that has worked with us this past season.  The men that work on the farm, Julian, Juan, Geo, Arturo will be leaving on Wednesday to return to their families in Mexico and we thank them for their hard work and dedication to the farm. We look forward to their return next spring.

Enjoy the holidays ahead.  We are reminded daily of the wonders that the earth has to offer and we thank you for being part of Stoneledge Farm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes & Instructions:

Notes:
Our chili peppers were harvested this fall and they are only partially dried therefore we do not suggest leaving them trapped in a bag or box of some kind.  We do suggest putting them on display for all to enjoy immediately!

Instructions:
~Upon receiving your bouquet, we suggest that you remove the paper and gently pull the bouquet evenly from each side to loosen and widen it.  {We use a lot of plant material to make the bouquet but it is sometimes made more compact by wrapping it.  You may take the rubber bands off or leave them in place.}
~Remember:  Absolutely no water necessary or recommended!
~Any kind of container will do and don’t be afraid to cut the stems down to fit to your vase or pot.
~Best to display in moderate or low light.  {Exposure to a lot of natural light will fade their natural colors..}
~Best to display in moderate temperatures.  {Extreme heat or extreme cold will make dried flowers brittle.}
~With proper care this bouquet may last you a year or two!

ENJOY!
Bernadette & Walter
