Landscape and GardenErika will be available on May 18th to start working for you! Hana will join to make the dynamic duo after she finishes her sophomore year of high school in June. Since Erika will be graduating she will be available into the autumn this year to help settle the gardens in for the winter. Please call or email Erika to make an appointment.
Erika and Hana will bring their own tools. They can maintain current ornamental or vegetable gardens and design or make new gardens and landscapes. They are available for light forest management and trail building as well. Due to Erika and Hana’s health and values they will not administer or work around chemical applications. The customer is responsible for the purchase of materials (plants, mulch, etc.) that Erika and Hana will be working with. The customer is also responsible with providing at least 4 hours of work per appointment.

Graduation anyone? Erika is graduating from Green Mountain College in mid-May. She will have a degree in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Production. What does that mean? It means that she studied topics like biology, ecology, geology, forestry, National Organic regulations, biodiversity on farms, animal husbandry, organic vegetable production, business, and marketing. She will continue to learn as she develops her own farm over the next few years.
What happens next? Erika would like to begin applying her knowledge on a small scale by growing organic vegetables and raising animals for organic meat at her home. This would be an excellent compliment to the Two Sisters Landscape and Gardening business because we will be able to share our veggies with our customers this summer and begin to understand what sort of market we might have for our future nutritious food. While beginning this adventure Erika would like to be working for her customers full time and if she’s successful will do it again next year.
We would appreciate it if you could spread the word and let your friends, family, and neighbors know that Erika (and sometimes Hana) will be available to help beautify their landscapes and consult on food and forestry full-time!

Need local yarn or herbal salves?
White Mountain Llamas now owns 5 Angora rabbits and 4 llamas that produce fiber all year-round. Hana and Erika are processing the fiber into beautiful hand-spun yarn. Some yarn is made into scarves and hats, while some is sold in skeins. Currently some of our yarn is being sold at the Yarn Garden in Littleton, New Hampshire. We do not dye our yarn so one of our major purchase goals for animals is color! You can purchase any of our naturally colored fiber products at anytime. Just call or email Erika for more information!
Erika and Hana also provide fiber lessons. If you want to learn how to spin or felt with animal fiber we will provide materials and can do individual and group lessons!
Erika and Hana are apprenticing with Melanie Osborn at Thyme To Heal Herbal Shoppe in Lisbon, New Hampshire where they make plant-based, hand-milled soaps. They also make salve from local beeswax and herbal infused oils. These products are also, always for sale. Bars of soap (3 oz.) are $3.75 and salve is $5 (2 oz.).

Livestock at White Mountain Llamas
Our llamas have just moved to their summer pasture in “retired” dairy fields. Essentially the fiber that we harvest from them is made from local pasture. We are proud of the fact that we can raise animals with as little processed grain input as possible and we are always designing new systems in which to raise earth-friendly fiber. Last year we also raised three lambs on pasture for meat. We will probably do this again and may possibly sell pasture-raised meat or eggs in the future. If you would be interested in purchasing food from us in the future – let us know!
Babies!
Erika and Hana are planning to have more crias (baby llamas) and Angora bunnies to sell in the coming seasons. Our Angora rabbits are $75 - $85 and mixed breeds $10-$15. Our last cria, Winny, (below) has been successfully raised with her mother and is now looking for a good home. We are asking for $1,700 for her. She would make a great pack or guard llama, companion or show animal. She loves people!
Thank you!
We want to thank you for supporting our business! We appreciate working for you and hope to continue providing you with quality service into the future!
