Greenwood Hill Farm is a family owned farm raising Merino sheep, both white and natural colored. Our main purpose for raising the Merino breed is for their wool which is the world's finest. The fineness of the fiber on the Merino sheep spins into luxuriously soft wool yarn referred to as the "no itch" wool. Because we raise both white and natural colored Merinos we can produce 4 natural colors of yarn, white and dark chocolate, silver, and slate; all in DK or Worsted weights.
Our sheep are raised on natural grass pastures and second cut grass hay. They are fed a high quality grain which contains no chemicals or hormones. Not all of the lambs meet our high standards for fleece and conformation and our culls are processed for lamb meat. The meat is cut to our specifications, vacuum packed and flash frozen at a USDA plant. See www.masslocalfood.org or call us at 978-928-5175
