Sheep Shares Yarn Farm CSA 2012

Now Taking Reservations for 2012!

Join us for a year long adventure in yarn farming. Sheep Shares is our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for knitters and spinners who care deeply about the source of their fibers and about sustaining small-scale farming. Three times a year, Sheep Shares brings farm-fresh skeins and fiber from my flock to your door.

Precious and limited, our yearly wool clip reflects a year's work in meticulously caring for our animals and tending the fleeces - our principal farm product. Each season brings a new yarn or new roving blend.

Joining Sheep Shares ensures your share of my flock's yarns and fibers. Sheep Shares members will also be entitled to special contests and promotions and color selections (see full member benefits below).

 


 
 

Club Benefits:


• Choose a program: Farm-yarns for knitters OR Farm Fresh fiber for handspinners. (see details below).


• Farm-yarn share holders can choose between natural or hand-dyed colors. Fiber shares available in natural colors only.

• Quarterly club newsletter just for members. Complete with flock profiles and stories, get up-close and personal with your yarn!
