📣 PETITION AVAILABLE TO SIGN — GOLDEN TIME CHANGE

For anyone who is opposed to the decision to move Golden away from Alberta time, I have a copy of the official petition available to sign at Alakoa Crystals / my house.

Natasha Shoemaker has organized the petition and will be presenting it to the Town of Golden. We’re hoping to gather as many signatures as possible before September 9th.

🖊️ Come by and add your name!

Alakoa Crystals is open Saturday from 12–4, but you are welcome to stop by outside of those hours as well. If I’m not home, I’ll leave the petition and a pen at the door — just pop in, sign it and carry on with your day.

It’s taken me a bit but I have finally got some of the sapphires from my trip up the to Blue Jay Mine cleaned up and on display in the shop 😍 I will be working on getting them listed on my Etsy shop next. Then it will be back to prepping the rest of them and hopefully getting some cut and polished for jewelry

Something New is Coming to Alakoa Farm Camp! 🌻

I had a parent reach out to me recently and ask if I ever offer Pro-D Day Farm Camps… and I thought, why haven’t I thought of that?! 😂 My own kids are grown now, so I’m definitely not as in the loop with the school calendar as I used to be!

Typically, Farm Camp runs during Spring Break, one week in July and one week in August, but I think Pro-D Day camps would be such a great addition.

So this school year, we’re going to give it a try! ❤️

I’ll be looking at the upcoming Pro-D Day schedule and figuring out which dates we can offer here at the farm. The days will have all the things the kids love about Farm Camp — animals, crafts, baking, nature, outdoor adventures and plenty of time to just be kids. 🐐🐓🌲🧁

Keep your eyes 👀 open for upcoming Pro-d day farm camp dates as they will be announced soon!

That’s a wrap on Summer Farm Camp! 🌻🐐☀️

What an awesome week with an amazing group of kids! ❤️

We packed so much into our days — made a TON of crafts, went on adventures, did some baking, learned about crystals, climbed trees, played at the river, hung out with the animals, got dirty, laughed lots and just enjoyed all the good things in life. 🌿💎🧁🌊

There’s something pretty special about watching kids unplug, explore, create, learn and just be kids.

A huge thank you Rachel for all you help and to all the parents who trusted us with your kiddos this week. We loved having them out at the farm and hope they went home with some pretty great memories (and probably a few dirty clothes 😂).

That’s a wrap on Farm Camp for Summer 2026! ☀️🌻
What a great way to finish off the summer. ❤️

We are open today 12-4pm! Might want to watch your head when you enter the shop as the split tail swallows have a nest with 4 babies on the roof as you walk in 😂
