SHEARING IS DONE!
I thought I would never get through the flock this year, but the 2023 wool is looking STELLAR. We had some late freezes so I put off shearing my older friends until the weather warmed up.
It's the second week of June and I still have another 130 pounds to sort, but it is coming along well.
I am adding handmade rugs to the shop this fall and we are currently growing plenty of herbs for new soaps! AND I have a big surprise later this year for hand spinners...
We are looking forward to another year of old and new friends in the fiber community!
Thank you for supporting our family, our farm, and our animals.
💖 Moriah and the flock

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous fiber. Scours beautifully and processes/spins like a dream. Such a pleasure all the way around, and I love reading about the sheep that provided the wool!

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful fiber with the locks hand curated and packed. What a treat! Very rarely have I been able to process raw fleece with so little waste- no short, scraggly bits, no tags, no VM. Lovely!

5 out of 5 starsInger grew a gorgeous, soft fleece with beautiful crimp and luster, exactly as described. I have yet to clean and spin it, but I expect great things from the high-quality wool she worked so hard to grow. Shipping was fast and the friendly shop owners are there to answer any questions about processing. I hope the flock enjoys the hay I bought them :)

Many of my ancestors came to this country in the 1600s and settled into farming and rearing livestock. The rest were already here. There's something about that heritage that tugs your heart towards the land and her creatures. I love nature.

Frequently asked questions
Do we sell sheep?
We do not sell our sheep. We do occasionally rehome a rescue that does not fit into our flock or if our flock is at full capacity. We make every effort to ensure they are end up in a no kill facility. Our ewes are not bred since their "job" is growing wool, keeping the lawns trimmed, and making compost.
Are all your sheep wool sheep?
No. My very first ewe, Lambi, was a hair sheep. She loved to follow us around, and would even get in the creek with us. She died in my arms February 15, 2017 after a long battle with kidney disease. I have her son who is half wool sheep. His name is Brock, and he is very sweet. Her granddaughters Loral, Siggy, Lilac, and Minerva, and her other grandson Orion live on the farm as well. Loral and Brock both have worthless fleeces, but are two of the favorites
Why rescue sheep? Why not slaughter?
Sheep are amazing, intelligent, curious, strong willed animals that live in a complex social and familial society. While we do not believe that an animal's life is equal to human life, we do believe that kindness to other other species, particularly those that are products of human intervention, is a moral imperative. Many sheep are slaughtered annually because they are no longer "breeders". Often these "defects" are the results of poor management on the part of their shepherds. We see no reason to condemn an animal because of prolapse, treatable disease, or age. Every single rescue sheep we have earns its keep in some way, and contributes to our farm's overall success.
Custom and personalized orders
We are not engaging in custom design at this time. However, we can arrange large orders for our regular products.
Care instructions
New customers are sent detailed washing instructions for raw wool. Shawls are also sent with washing instructions. Moriah does try to send hand written notes about processing THAT FLEECE with each wool purchase.
If you have ANY wool processing questions, please ask. Linda can answer many basic questions. If it's more detailed, Moriah will answer.
