welcome
S&B Bell Farms in Hodgenville, KY started out with a purely functional purpose: to make good use of land that we own. Over the months, the concept of alpaca farming has branched out to several other areas of farming. In order to run a sustaining farm, we realized that we needed to consider the interconnectedness of the land and the animals, and to provide the best environment that we can for both.

I really had some awesome adventures in the Soapery this summer, and one of my big projects was to tackle a soap made with snake skin shed. It’s totally a thing!!!
(The snake skin shed goes into the lye mixture - and any remaining snake skin that is not dissolved by the lye is strained before being added to the rest of the soap batter.)
I thought this would be just a novelty item that I made once - that it would make a great story to share and be the end of it. But in 2 days I sold out at market, and I still have customers asking when I will have it back in stock!!
I made a double batch tonight that will be available for sale at the December Winter market
(12/7 at the Hardin County Extension Office)
Did you get a bar the 1st go-round? If so, what did you think? 🐍

The color will still morph a little bit as it cures, and the fragrance is of course - “Dragon’s Blood”
I love the way it lathers. I can’t wait to get some more.
What’s the benefit?
I seriously can’t stop giggling every time I see this. When mom called to tell me her office was having a pumpkin decorating contest and she wanted some help - I searched Pinterest and found this adorable idea 🐷🕷️🕸️
I picked the most *perfect* pumpkins from our Hardin County Farmers' Market neighbor, Peterson Family Farm! And then I had lots of fun with pipe cleaners, embroidery thread, paint, and of course - a hot glue gun 🤣

Life sure changes quickly sometimes! It’s hard to believe that just 10 years ago, our farm didn’t exist.
And even though the farm has grown, and we have expanded to include sheep and goats and chickens… it all started with our beautiful alpacas 🦙 ❤️

Progress has been made 😃.
WONDERFUL!!
So cool!
We are now at that time of year when the fall molt is in full swing! The older girls are shedding their old feathers and working hard at growing new ones.
Even though it looks like there is something wrong - this is actually a natural and very healthy event. New feathers means a warmer winter coat!!
