We are members of the Georgia Sheep and Wool Growers Association, started in the 1950's. The purpose is to promote healthy sheep and successful, well-informed shepherds.
Wool is amazing. Wool is:
Breathable – able to transport moisture in a vapor state from one place to another. Wool clothing wicks moisture away from your skin, making you drier and more comfortable.
Odor Resistant – the moisture wicking properties minimize the growth and life of odor-causing bacteria.
Warming and Cooling – air that is caught in the wool crimp is a natural insulator and can help keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Strong and Resilient – it can be stretched, bent, twisted and tugged in any direction literally thousands of times without damage.
Naturally fire resistant – which is one the reasons why so many military uniforms are made from wool.
Natural and sustainable – wool is a natural product, produced by sheep and available for harvesting (shearing) every year without damage to the sheep.

Sheep are a great addition to the green Georgia countryside, and can be worked into grazing rotations with other animals, such as these Dexter calves.
Our flocks are supported by the sale of yarn, roving, raw wool, spinning and weaving supplies, and completed handmade projects. We also sell sheep to Spinner's flocks, and as additions to existing breeding programs. Our sheep have been popular in petting zoos and educational programs, and have been shipped all over the country.
We focus on rare and heritage wool breeds for our breeding flocks - Romeldale, Teeswater, and Finn. We also have small wool flocks of Leicester Longwool, and Dorset Horn, and are part of the Valais Blacknose breed up program. We choose breeds with fleeces that are easily handspun, and well suited to a variety of differing projects. See the specific breed pages for more details.
