2013 Janell Wysock Day Five -Juliana

Today we made a lot of plarn (plastic yarn) and then we "finished" our weaving projects. By pulling the strands of warp down we tightened the top. Mine took forever because I wove so much!

Pia finished her's and Janell took some silly pictures of us with it. Here's one: 

At around 12 Diane came back and drew Pia and as we worked. It was so cool. Overall we had an amazing time and learned a lot!

2013 Sweet Salvation Truffles Day Five -Annie

Today was our last day and it was our first day where we were left alone in charge of doing everything that needed to be done for a show on Sunday. We first made a vanilla and coconut truffle filling. We then using a pastry bag, we piped them out into small lumps that we then rolled. After that we rolled the sugar free chocolate that we had piped out the day before. After lunch we were left alone so the first thing we did was we put the sugar free chocolate into a bag that had a few cups of vanilla coco powder. We mixed them around until coated. After that we bagged our caramel pieces and refrigerated them. While Lisa then put labels on about a hundred boxes, I dipped the vanilla balls in dark chocolate. We did this all really fast which left us in charge of cleaning this frankly was the worst part of the week but since when is cleaning not?

This whole week was such a good experience. I came into it with some ideas and thoughts of how chocolate truffle making was like but I was wrong. It was so fun and it was great to be given the reins at certain times. I hope I can make truffles from home now and maybe do this internship again.

2013 Yellow Springs Farm Day Five -Nick

On my last day (Friday) it was raining hard. We started out mucking out the stalls at the farm. After my sister went to the cheese room we got some milk out of the refrigerator and brought it with us to Hollow farm. At hollow farm we fed the babies milk. We fed them inside there stalls because it was to wet to let them out. I also helped a newborn drink milk from his mother.
 
After we had fed the babies, we made sure that all the goats in their stalls had hay, grain and water. We mucked out all the stalls before heading to lunch. After lunch we stayed at yellow springs farm. We cleaned up around the stalls  and then made sure the goats had food and water. The rest of the afternoon was spent saving udders and trimming the goats hooves. At the end of the day I said farewell to the goats and the folks there and headed home with some delicious goat cheese in hand!
