These are the ladies of the Blackdown Hills known as the The Blackdown Babes. 
 
The Blackdown Babes, are a group of women who work individually and together in the Blackdowns. They are creative, self sufficient and supportive. They share a passion for the rural way of life. In this economic climate we are experiencing life has become different for the girls of the Blackdown Hills, We have had to choose with great thought which of the shows we go to and show our products. The cost of shows and fairs have risen quite a bit, through no fault of their own. You will see on the events page which shows and fairs  we will be attending this year, and we all hope to see you there.
