One person's trash...

It is no secret that we live in a "throw away" society where many of the things older societies - or even our grandparents - would have found a use for.

​

One of the goals of Saffron and Honey Homestead is to produce as little waste as possible from our farming activities. We use food cast offs for our animals or compost. Bits of wire or boards are reused, rather than throwing them away and buying new later. Half-full paint cans are saved for future projects, and half empty boxes of flooring are repurposed into various woodworking projects.

​

One of the main sources of waste we continue to find uses for are the skeletons of animals who die on the homestead. Historically, the use of bones was part of many cultures. Whether used for religious purposes, household needs, artistic pursuits clothing accessories or tool handles, every possible part of the animal was used. Reverting to our ancestral roots, we offer these unique objects to those who might share our interest in art and history.

 

All bones are cleaned by hand using boiling water, drying and peroxide to sterilize and whiten them. Prices vary and which items can be shipped varies, please read the individual descriptions.
