Dale and Mary Jacobs of Darien weave and grow locally
Today, Billie and I drove around Genesee County a bit just to look around. After lunch at the Darien Cafe, we spotted a roadside fruit stand, and upon looking more closely, Billie saw a woman in the barn just behind it sitting and weaving, so we stopped.
Dale and Mary Jacobs sell their handcrafted blankets, towels, shoestrings and place mats from their barn -- all the items are handmade from locally grown material.
They also sell vegetables from their garden -- everything organically grown.
"I was a weaver already and Dale was a gardener, so when we retired, we just expanded on what we already did," Mary said.
Dale, is, in fact, a master gardener through the Cornell Extension.
They've had their business about 10 years.
Crooked Creek Farm is located at 1438 Broadway Road in Darien Center.
