Columbias, Corriedales, Romney and many other breeds are represented in our flock. Our wool comes in a variety of natural colors, and is sorted by color during shearing.
For large orders we offer substantial quantity discounts. However please keep in mind the natural wool cycle when placing orders. We shear in May and market through early fall. We sell most of our wool during this window of time; during most of year, we do have spinning quality fleeces and smaller quantities of custom products available.
All our woolen goods are especially well suited for the environmentally sensitive. However, anyone who wants to live a natural life with less toxins will appreciate our fine fleece.
Here is a chance to buy
grassfed lambs direct from the grower. Many people are surprised to find that
lamb raised on the range is affordable when they buy direct. What’s more,
our minimum amount (a 20-25 lb half a lamb) fits fine in the freezer compartment
of their refrigerator. And it can be cut exactly as they want.
If you eat meat, you may be concerned that the animals have a good life. Our
sheep live on pasture, eating grass and drinking spring water. They are not
confined.
You may have heard the health advantages of grassfed meat: “Compared with
grainfed meat, grassfed meat has as much as four times more vitamin E, five
times more cancer-fighting CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), three times more
heart friendly omega-3s, and twice as much betacarotene. It is also lower in
calories, total fat, and saturated fat.” (Jo
Robinson, eatwild.com.)
There are no synthetic hormones or antibiotics to worry about, no pesticides
or synthetic fertilizers on the fields.
We farm ecologically; we do not overstock our land and we have fenced our sheep
out of our creeks and shift them often from one grazing area to another, to
maintain healthy pastures.
So what’s the deal? We sell you a lamb, or by sharing with another customer
half a lamb, at $1.25 per lb. live weight. This is equivalent to about $2.50
per lb. of meat.
The butcher we have often worked with follows cutting instructions or has a
list of options. You pick up the meat frozen from his store in Penngrove. For
slaughtering and butchering, you pay him $51 minimum for one sheep or $29 for
a half (plus 45c per lb. for weight over 60lb.)
You may also order a lamb to roast whole and have no cutting costs, only the
slaughter charge of $18.
