As the creative heart behind Promiseland Farm, owner Kellyann invites guests to interact with 2 calm goats, for guests to interact with, explaining the source of her quality and soaps and lotions. Whether someone is cuddling a baby goat, watching horses run through the grass at sunset, or simply pausing to enjoy the scent of lavender goat milk lotion, Kellyann believes healing often happens in the quiet moments — the moments that remind us we were created to rest, create, connect, and be fully present.
Experiential Offering: Calming Through the Senses
Kellyann invites guests to join in a goat milk hand ritual experience with calm music and slow breathing . This is a place where visitors can take a moment to connect to the touch and smell of the lotion, and tune-in to nature's sounds, music, and feel renewal through breathwork.
🕑: 04:00 PM - 04:30 PM
The Benefits of Sourdough Cultures + Loaf Artistry Experience
Host: SheDoughs
Info: Demo Description: Slow Bread, Strong Body
Discover why sourdough is more than a trend; it's a return to how bread was meant to be made. Julie will share her knowledge of the ways natural fermentation supports gut health, makes nutrients easier to absorb, and can be gentler on digestion than conventional bread -- all while tasting better.
Experiential Offering: Art of The Score Every score on a sourdough loaf is part function, part signature — a tradition dating back to communal village ovens, where your cut was how you claimed your bread. Julie will demonstrate the beautiful craft of bread scoring — the intentional cuts that are functional as well as beautiful, made just before baking that control how the loaf opens in the oven. You'll see how different slashes, angles, and patterns transform into the signature designs on a finished crust, from simple ears to intricate wheat stalks. Then, try it for yourself - score your own loaf pattern!
