Jams/Chutneys/Marmalade
The Brothers grow fruit and vegetables on the property. That which is surplus to their own needs is made into jams, chutneys, etc for sale to supplement their income. Generous friends also sometimes supply fruit to be used for this purpose.
HoneyThe bee hives on the property (about 10 in number) supply honey which is bottled and sold for community funds.

These are reproductions of original paintings by Elizabeth Irby Laurillard. One card features the creek which runs through the property (Sister Water) and is from an original photo takes by the Brothers. The card depicting the Carceri Hermitages established by St Francis is also from an original picture taken by the Little Brothers of Francis.
