Celebrating July 4th with a profile of independence: Wind Dance Farms

From time to time, we will share a more in-depth Rosie story that exemplifies our can do spirit. Please enjoy this feature of Wind Dance Farm on this holiday where we celebrate our independence.

Tucked amongst rolling green hills and beautiful homes you will find the elegant yet charming Wind Dance Farm. The 40 acres is home to budding olive trees, organic, sustainable gardens, a herd of alpacas, a brood of chickens, a breathtaking home and grounds, a lavender paradise in the making and a three-generational family working together to breathe life into this lifelong dream. There is richness and something very pure found on this beautiful farm hidden in the hills of Avila, CA, and beyond its gates is the story of one family’s dream becoming a reality.

Rosies Celebrates National Dairy Month at Happy Acres Family Farm

In celebration of National Dairy month, the Rosies team visited Happy Acres Farm, a California state licensed working goat dairy, owned by Stephanie Simonin seen below in our new Rosies raspberry overalls. Happy Acres is a busy and happy place operated by four women with family support. The goat milk is all natural and hormone-free. The milk has a wonderfully high butterfat content essential in producing dairy products such as fresh goat milk, cheese, ice-cream, lotion, and soap.

Like this blog and have a chance to recieve a free bottle of goat milk body lotion.

Crystal Beckvold is our Dirtiest Rosie.

Crystal Beckvold of Dedham, Massachusettes won our Dirtiest Rosie Contest. Below is the winning entry from Crystal during and after an engine swap. For her efforts, Crystal will receive a brand new pair of  sea green overalls which she says she will put to good use and we believe her.

Taking out an engine is all in a day's fun for Crystal.

Crystal tells us in addition to being our Dirtiest Rosie she was featured  in Street Rodder Magazine May of 2009 and won a scholarship for the “Most Influential Women in Collision Repair” back in 2007. Winning Dirtiest Rosie is just “another badge to add to my resume,” Cyrstal said. To see the other Dirtiest Rosie submissions click here. Thanks to everyone who entered. Keep up the dirty work!!
