General Store Autumn Give Away!!!

This contest was over at midnight on Saturday.  I will be drawing numbers today!!

Most of you who read here regularly, know that we have an online store.  We sell products for your homestead kitchen and products that we believe in and use ourselves.  Our store is called Amazing Graze Farm General Store.  We like to do giveaways through out the year.  We are going to do an Autumn give away.  There will be 3 separate prizes that will go to 3 separate individuals.  I will tell you a little bit about the prizes.

First of all, you know that we have Wonderful Neighbors.  :)  They have helped us out more times than I can count.  The other evening, the 3 oldest WN children had to help us round up our milk cow that decided she liked grazing fresh grass over coming in to be milked.  The oldest WN girl is a wonderful seamstress.  She does all sorts of neat projects and makes up wonderful patterns.  Her family recently went to Williamsburg, VA and she made outfits from thrift store finds for herself and her siblings.  I would show you a picture of her handiwork but I have to get permission from the WN Mama first.  Anyway, the WN girl makes aprons to order for our customers.  We have many pleased customers that have bought her aprons and loved them.  I asked her to make me one of her Scarecrow aprons for the giveaway.  This darling lady scarecrow will be sure to bring a smile to your face.  She even has a sunflower on her hat.  Here is a picture of the apron (sorry about the busy background).

Here is a close up of her face.  I love her little straw hair showing. 

 I know there are many of you who will want to have her for your very own.  


Our second prize is one that I have many requests for.  I have one person that tries every trick in the book to win one of these when we have given them away (Hi Suzanne!).  The prize is a Tea Tumbler in Green and a 7 oz. package of Dandy Blend.  Suzanne loves the Tea Tumbler. I have one and use it often.  It is a double walled glass container that allows your drink to stay hot or cold, but does not sweat or burn your hands while holding it.  It also has a little strainer inside so that if you used a tea bag or loose tea, you could still drink it and not get the leaves or bag in your mouth.  We will be giving away a green one like the one shown below. 

I am a coffee drinker.  I do not like flavored coffee at all.  Plain old strong black coffee is my choice.  I have tried different instant coffees, but I have not been impressed at all.  Dandy Blend is better than any of the coffee substitutes that I have ever tried.  I truly enjoy it.  It is Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Pesticide-free, Gluten-free, Low carb, Low calorie, Wheat-free, Fat-free, No acidity, Caffeine-free, No bitterness, Great coffee flavor, Mineral rich, Rich & Smooth, and High antioxidant.

...and potentially helpful for...

Celiacs and gluten intolerant, Diabetics, Competitive weight lifters, PMS sufferers, Asthma sufferers, Lowering high blood pressure, Macrobiotic dieters, Lowering high cholesterol, Helping with weight loss, Liver and gall bladder ailments, Gastroesophogeal reflux, Expectant mothers, Low carbohydrate dieters, Coronary artery and heart disease, Weight Watchers, Cancer sufferers!

Dandy Blend instant dandelion beverage is the only instant herbal coffee substitute in the United States that features both the health benefits of dandelion and the rich, full-bodied flavor, smoothness and texture of real coffee. Many say that, because it lacks bitterness and acidity, it actually tastes better than coffee.

We are giving away a 7.05 oz. pouch of Dandy Blend along with the Tea Tumbler.

The last prize is a tool that will help you for years to come.  If you have ever made tomato sauce or apple sauce, you will truly appreciate this tool.  If you have not made those things, you will love this tool since it makes it so easy to do.  We are going to be giving away one of our Victorio Food Strainers.  

To make apple sauce, you simply wash your apples and quarter them.  You do not need to peel them or core them.  You put them in boiling water until soft and then throw them in the hopper and turn the handle.  The peels, seeds, stems and cores come out one end into a bowl (the chickens love this) and the rest of the apple comes out sauced and into another bowl.  Then you can either eat the sauce or can it.  I pick apples that need no sugar added and just can the sauce for eating all year.  Tomatoes are just as easy.  

Those are the three prizes and here is how you can win one of them.  You can have multiple entries, but you have to leave a separate comment for each one.  I have already deleted one comment because there was no name and no way to get a hold of them.  Also, they put all their entries in one comment.
