We are a very small two person homestead raising specialty vegetables and fiber products from our herd of Angora rabbits.
My adventures in fiber began when someone gave me a sheep in need of shearing. Once we had the coat off, I became interested in procesing the wool. My search for a spinning wheel had the added delight of introducing me to the wonderfully fuzzy Angora rabbit. I came home with a wheel and a trio of cuddly bunnies. They have delighted me ever since.
Selective breeding and strict culling have given me lines with a much greater density than the bunnies I started out with. I now keep fewer bunnies but get much more fiber. I hand pluck the fiber to cater to hand spinners who want plucked wool. We aren't doing the outdoor festival we have in the past, but check out our schedule for places to find us and our yarns. We are also happy to ship whatever products you would like. We are able to take credit cards for payment, so give us a call.
Farming practices and philosophy: We raise our rabbits without antibiotics and our vegetables with organic methods. All our rabbit manure is used to enrich the garden soil.
