Fiber Farming

Breed Specific Fiber from Beloved Flocks

We raise Alpacas, Cashmere goats, and a variety of sheep, some purebred, registered breeds and some crossbred. We started our farm with Shetland sheep and through rescues and acquisitions, we now have Poll Dorset, Colored Merino, Cotswold, Wensleydale, Teeswater, and Cormo sheep. We are in our fourth year of a breed-up program and are home to Vermont’s first Valais Blacknose Sheep.

What does it mean to be a Fiber Farm? It helps to think of our product, fiber, as a sustainable, natural resource for replacing synthetics in a world that needs our love and care. When you recognize that animal-grown fiber is a renewable and harmless way to return carbon to the earth, cleaning the atmosphere and improving the soil upon which they trod, you can appreciate the importance of small ruminants.
