Health
Maintaining a closed flock and practicing biodiversity prevents the introduction of disease to
our flock.  We have been awarded
Vermont Scrapie Free Certification.  Rotational
grazing helps control parasites as well as the use of natural herbal treatments.  Our sheep are
grass fed in the summer and eat second cut hay in the winter.  We only offer organic grain
during lactation. Organic kelp and a mineral mix meet their nutritional needs.

Temperament
We breed for calm breeding stock.  

Breeding
We strive for breeding which follows the quality Romney standards set by the American
Romney Breeders Association and the Angora Goat Breeders Association. We breed
our ewes and does in November for April lambing and kidding. Please
contact us if you are
interested in purchasing a lamb or kid.

Memberships
We are members of the Vermont Sheep and Goat Association   , andthe American
Romney Breeders Association.

Fleeces
Our Romneys are bred for long staple length, high luster, and fine handling.
We strive for beautiful  fleeces by covering our sheep from November to April of each year.  
This prevents chaff from collecting in their wool. We process our wool into roving and
beautiful yarn which is sold as
Yarn & Fiber CSA Shares or as individual skeins.

Other Fiber Animals
We also have llamas and angora
rabbits.  Our llamas acts as  
guardians for our sheep as well
as providing us with a unique
fiber.  We blend their fiber with
our wool for a wonderfully soft
yarn.  Our angora bunnies have
their own bunny hutch inside our
barn for the winter months.  In
the summer, they are moved
outside to larger quarters under
a huge lilac tree .  Our bunnies
look forward to their morning
treats of fresh vegetables and
fruit.  Their fiber is spun into  
soft, warm yarn.
