We'd like to say, "Thank you for supporting this Pennsylvania farm flock!" to our customers for purchasing breeding stock, goats, lamb and natural fiber products. We'd like to especially thank recent buyers of registered rams. Fathom is at home in Ebensburg, PA and Ramses is now in Rhode Island! We'd also like to thank those who visited our booth at KDO in Summerdale, PA and continue to support our efforts to produce domestic wool products in natural fibers.

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.

We have many doe kids this year! If you are just starting in goats, these would be good candidates for a small herd.

See our KID sale page. Our Nubian doe kid is on her new farm in Maryland. Twin bucks are available. Sadie's Alikai is looking to become a great herdsire. He is very correct and has a calm manner. Cashmeres, Nubians and crosses are available.

Cheviot and Blue Faced Leicester yearlings and crosses are avaialble.
