At Reedbird Farm in northern Minnesota, we raise crossbred heritage breed sheep, focusing on fiber and hardiness in northern Minnesota. We also raise poultry, angora rabbits and various other livestock. We sell wool, handmade wool products, herbs and milk soaps. All our animals are raised without synthetic chemicals, vaccinations, antibiotics or hormones and have access to pasture all year. We put up our own hay from our organically managed fields. Sustainable farming practices are important to us. We are working to restore native prairie on pastureland while conserving native forest and wetland systems. Teaching about natural methods is part of what we do and workshops are offered periodically on topics like herbs, homeopathy, minerals for ruminants and renewable energy. Natural health consultations for people and animals of all kinds are offered by traditional naturopath and herbalist Alethea Kenney, who also has a Diploma in Veterinary Homeopathy.

Reedbird Farm sheep are hardy, have good medium texture fleece that is hard-wearing, warm and comes in natural black. The sheep are good mothers, do very well on grass-based farming and are a small to medium size sheep that are easy to handle. Most are horned. They do well foraging and resemble Old World Primitive Medieval breeds raised in places like Ireland and Wales.
Workshops focus on medicinal plants, traditional and sustainable living skills to allow you to be more self-sufficient.
