I have been raising sheep and goats since 1980. Currently i raise mostly Shetland sheep and Angora goats for handspinning fiber. I try to raise as much of my own food as possible, and whatever i don't use myself goes to the sheep and goats. Quality of product is important to me, as most food products (meat and veggies) are raised at the least, natural, and i try to raise the veggies organic. I have in the past done farmers markets, but am currently just selling off the farm. I do raise natural meat for sale, as well as quality natural colored wool sheep. I do retail and custom orders of wool products such as hats, scarves, sweaters, mittens, yarn-both natural colored and dyed, etc.
