About the Farm
Background
Icelandic Sheep, one of the oldest sheep breeds in the world, are renowned for their unique wool and exquisite meat flavor. The farm has developed a hearty flock well-suited to Vermont's climate, ensuring the animals can thrive year-round on a grass-fed diet.
Practices
The farm emphasizes the health and well-being of their Icelandic Sheep by focusing on disease and parasite resistance, allowing the animals to be grass-fed throughout the year. They honor the life of their animals by utilizing every part of the sheep, producing a variety of products from wool, yarn, roving, pelts, horns, bone, and meats.
The Rest
A wide variety of hand-crafted items made from the sheep's wool, pelts, horns, and bones are available, with products changing seasonally. Customers are encouraged to contact the farm if they do not see what they are looking for.
