About Us
When our last chick had been accepted to college, we decided that a change in lifestyle was wanted. This was not a mentality to move back to the land, but rather an effort to free ourselves from intense professional careers in the urban crush. A relevant choice for us. We relocated to an isolated 77 acres in Culpeper County, Virginia: lovely rolling pastures, indigenous trees, and a primitive house, circa 1854. We moved something else as well, an abiding belief in organic land use, an enduring excellance in what we choose to do, and unshakeable thoughts about habitat and environment.
Fifteen years along, those obvious values are still the same, and beneficial in every way. Our sheep, lambs, and guardian llamas are given the greatest care, and you can see this at once. And always remembering that this is a cooperative relationship, our return has been contented, doting mothers, unforgettable lambs, and outstanding fiber.
And just as preservation has been a primary focus, more resolutions became firm. Buying local products, reducing our carbon footprint, and exerting the least pressure on the land and each other and all who live here.
