About the Farm

Background

Located in a peaceful, rural valley in Southern California, this small family farm has cultivated a serene environment for their flock of sheep. The farm is known for its dedication to producing unique, handspun yarns and one-of-a-kind knit items. The cottonwood and oak trees flourish in the quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, creating an idyllic setting for both the animals and the family that tends to them.

Practices

The farm maintains a small-scale operation on its 9 acres, ensuring that each animal receives individual attention and care. The sheep are described as sweet and easy to handle, contributing not only wool but also joy to the farm. The fiber is processed into roving or rolags, which are then spun, woven, and knitted into various items. Additionally, the farm supports other small farms by purchasing fiber to spin into yarn, emphasizing a community-oriented approach to their craft.

The Rest

The farm's products include handspun, small batch artisan yarns and unique hand-knit items, available through their shops. The farm's philosophy is encapsulated in the verse from Psalm 27:14, 'Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord.'
