What started as a childhood interest in knitting has grown into a small farm where we raise a flock of registered Cheviot sheep, Leicester Longwool crossbreds, Cashmere fiber goats, and a few alpaca. In 2006 we started to raise Blue-Faced Leicesters for their fine, lustrous locks of wool and crossbreeding for hand spinning. We also keep a small number of registered Nubian goats, to provide our soaps with the wonderful qualities that can be found in goats' milk. Our flock and herd are raised as close to organic practices as we can reasonably manage. The number is kept small since we also like to keep our sanity.  Please let us know what you need in the way of fibers for your spinning, yarns for your needlework project or breeding stock for your flock. 


             

Kids and lambs are here! Contact us for reservations of lambs.
