Sheep for Peeps Experience - GVL Delivery (April 7th, 2023)
It's baaaaaaaaa-ck!
We are collaborating with our friends at Montgomery Sky Farm once again to delivery Easter goodies to you and your family with our best friends.... baby LAMBS!
Your delivery will include an Easter Cake Kit (see below!) delivered by the most adorable baby lambs. And YES - you can snuggle the babes and take pictures to your heart's content!
Our Easter cake will be a DIY kit so you can get your whole family involved in cake decorating festivities. My grandmother made a signature Bunny Cake for my mom every Easter - so this is a family heirloom passed from mine to yours this season! Each kit will include two cake rounds, icing, and a video tutorial (including my mom and daughter - three generations!) so you can experience a magic moment this Easter.
We've got add-ons - including swag from Hester General Store and Montgomery Sky Farm - that make wonderful Easter basket additions!
We have delivered to all kinds of places - including daycares, nursing homes, hospitals, schools, homes, and offices. If you want a sheep, we will make it haaaaaaaaa-ppen.
We have TWO delivery dates to choose from. This listing for GREENVILLE, SC deliveries (April 7, 2023) within 15 miles of Downtown Greenville. If you are looking for ASHEVILLE, NC deliveries (April 6th , 2023) within 15 miles of Downtown Asheville, please go back to the main page and select downtown Asheville.

Ingredient FAQ
Where do you source your ingredients from?
We primarily use locally sourced ingredients in all of our seasonal products, and rely on many value-added vendors to supplement our always-made-in-house products, including:
- Holmes Sweet Home
- TUFT Confectionary
- MacGregor Orchard
- Rambling Rosa Farm
- Bee Well Honey
- Bio-Way Farm
- Carolina Ground
We also responsibly source bulk items, like butters, flours, or sugars, from distribution partners in the Upstate of SC and Foothills of NC.
Are any of your items gluten free or vegan?
Yes! We feature a number of gluten free or vegan treats as part of our core offerings. We also have developed an incredible vegan and gluten free ice cream that will be available for purchase soon!
Do you use any dyes or synthetic food colorings?
Not really! We prioritize natural food coloring in our products. Sometimes, we will create our own sanding sugars using food colorings for specialty items, and we will always point this out in the product description.
Are you hiring?
