Hoefer Waren was again a big success - very well visited, all sold out and, a rare thing in the village, no negative voices (yet). We had 2 tables with jam, juice, schnaps and dried herbs. And 2 tables with new produce, such as the lamps, bags and the horsemilk product range from Wapke's sister in Friesland.
Thanks again to Wapke for driving all the way from Rotterdam to Hoefen to make the event international!

Just arrived in Höfen, the vilalge I m from, for the last preparations to do with the launch of the Höfer Goods 2007. We met this afternoon to compile all the home made goodies, label them and to discuss logistics for the weekend.
Prices were a huge issue - how much something should/could/shouldn't cost.
It's all rather cheap, a jar of jam for 90p, homemade juice for £1 ...... it's the products we designed and produced together which seems pricey in that context. The porcelain spooon for £7 and the jar lamp for £ 20. I promised to put some of the produce in the Grizedale honesty box at Rochelle School to test some London prices on them.
