Happy Goat Lucky Ewe Fiber Farm

Established in 1987 as a hobby farm, the property originally known as Dobie Farm dates back to 1836. The farm transitioned to a working farm in 2017, growing from a single ewe lamb named Meryl Sheep to a flock of over 50 Merino sheep and a small herd of Angora goats. The farm is MAEAP-certified and has been a staple in the community, known for its high-quality wool products and commitment to environmentally safe practices.

The farm employs ecologically-friendly and climate-conscious farming practices, certified by MAEAP. In 2018, they planted 5.8 acres of wildflowers and seed grasses to create a pollinator sanctuary, enhancing biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems. The farm focuses on low carbon impact fiber production, ensuring that their wool and mohair products are biodegradable and sustainably produced. The sheep are carefully sheared to avoid injury, and the farm continuously improves its infrastructure to reduce stress on the animals and the shepherdess.

The farm offers products such as roving for spinners, handspun and millspun yarn, hats, headbands, cowls, socks, and dryer balls. They also sell wether lambs and goats in the fall and occasionally host farm tours and spinning demonstrations. Private arrangements can be made for growing game birds, chickens, turkeys, and other poultry. The farm is home to a pollinator sanctuary and has been featured in various articles, highlighting its contributions to sustainable farming and fiber production.
