Fresh Air, Fresh Ideas, Hands-On Learning

Antler Hollow provides simple, basic escapes from the ordinary. Western Mountain views, plus a "peek" at Mount Shasta to the north add to its charm. Deer, jackrabbits, and turkeys are regular visitors. Spectacular sunsets plus (on clear nights) unfiltered starry nights carry the beauty into the 24-hour realm.

This peaceful, uncluttered setting is ideal for learning. Tutorships combine hands-on experience with graphics program creative suite learning on the student's choice of horse or dog husbandry and care. Activities and work with the animals carries into the classroom in the form of copy and artwork that finishes in a final portfolio for the student to retain. Production Graphics-Only programs are also available on the subject of the student's choice. Each 2-hour session is split in half: Hands-on, then Classroom. Tutorships run for six-week periods, with two class days per week.

Antler Hollow has recently partnered with Dogshealth.com, a great resource for supplements and helpful products to enhance your dog's well-being. Visit their site by clicking on the banner to the right ...

Our family has also created a one-of-a-kind chocolate almond toffee. The recipe is secret -- only our family members know how to make it! It is a hands-down favorite with family and friends. It puts the high-powered health benefits of almonds and walnuts into a candy that is unmatched in household or professional setting. Annual sales at farmers markets and during the holidays keep us very busy. The toffee is also for sale at our certified kitchen, For the Love of Pie in Redding, CA.

Our toffee has been affectionately dubbed "Black and Tan Bark" after our doggy family of two Dobermans and a Black & Tan (Manchester) terrier. We create the toffee at a local pie shop in Redding, CA called "For the Love of Pie." (4theloveofpie.com). Each batch is handmade, hand packaged, and quality tested. Our varieties include Almond, Cashew, and Butterscotch Brindle. Plain toffee, without the chocolate/walnuts, is also available. It is also gluten and corn syrup free.

The candy is sold in 1/2 pound and 1 pound increments, or is available in larger quantities for parties, luncheons, or holiday orders. The toffee sells for $15 per pound, $8 per half pound -- it is less expensive than its market rivals, even though it is superior in quality. It will keep for weeks in the refrigerator, or a couple of months in the freezer. Though it won't "spoil" per se, it does best away from heat sources, as the chocolate will melt. If requested by mail during warmer months, it will be shipped as a "quarter slab" in waxed paper. Simply put the package in the refrigerator upon receipt to let the toffee chill, then break into pieces as you see fit.

For free sample of our toffee, feel free to email us -- or leave a cell message at 530-410-1161. Our sister kitchen, thetoffeepot.com, also accepts online orders for the toffee. Enjoy!
