Directions:
Briar Stone Farm is a private residence, off the beaten path in the woods of Vermont. Carpooling is STRONGLY recommended as parking is limited! We are technically located in Westford Vermont but you will use 10 Apple Tree Lane in Underhill as your GPS address since we are right on the line. From Route 15 you will turn onto Seymour Road at Bushey’s North Auto Shop. Head down Seymour until you see Apple Tree Lane on your right. This is a private road. We are the first property on the left hand side. You will see a 3 car garage and two stone houses. Please follow parking signs and park only in designated areas. Please note that we are located on a private dirt road. 4 wheel drive vehicles are recommended during inclement weather.
Visit the apothecary for the Mystics and Mistletoe Solstice Market on December 12th or 13th from 11-5pm either day and make your own herbal crafts! These make great gifts or keep them for yourself!
To ensure that there are enough supplies for all attendees, please pre-register if you would like to make any herbal crafts while visiting.
Each herbal remedy will be made in a 4 oz mason jar and you will receive all herbs, ingredients, supplies and labels needed along with step by step instructions to make the craft at your leisure while attending the open house!
Choose from:
-Winter Magic Bath Soak: Choose your botanicals and blend with oatmeal, salts and essential oils to concoct a soothing herbal soak.
-Yuletide Potpourri: Follow recipes or make your own custom blend using organic and garden grown herbs and botanicals to craft a fragrant potpourri for your home.
To register for crafts for yourself and your party, simply choose the type and quantity of crafts you would like below and add them to your cart. Each attendee may make up to 4 crafts! Then just checkout! When you arrive at the open house simply check in with your first and last name.
Notes: Children are welcome to craft with direct supervision of their parent or adult. There may be an option to make crafts without pre-registering but it is dependent on supplies. The best way to ensure that you get to craft is to pre-register here. Because supplies will be ordered in advance, there are no refunds available for these crafts so when registering, please ensure that you will be able to attend at least one of the days of the open house (11/28 or 11/29) to make and take your crafts!
