These animals have been raised with love and care and respect. We have taken the difficult decision to sell our share of the farm. The Ferme Sol flock has dispersed to the following farms who are continuing to carry on the mission of re-envisioning a regenerative fibre system.
Ferme Taiga, Zola Farm, Lanthorn Farm, Sweet Sheep Farm, Herboristerie la Fée des Bois, Leystone Farm
Ces animaux ont été élevés avec amour, soin et respect. Nous avons pris la difficile décision de vendre notre part de la ferme. Le troupeau de la Ferme Sol a été réparti entre les fermes mentionnées ci-dessus, qui poursuivent la mission de réinventer un système de textiles régénératifs.
Breeding Program
We started with East Fresian and Shetland ewes in 2013 and added East Fresian, British Milk Sheep and Icelandic ewes in 2017, bringing in rams of different wool breeds to enhance the genetic diversity of the flock and improve the quality of the wool. We now have a flock of hardy ewes with beautiful wool, healthy hooves and udders who thrive in a rotational grazing system, foraging on mature, re-naturalized perennial pasture and hay from the same fields. They are excellent mothers who give birth to vigorous lambs, unattended. The lambs grow to a modest size during the grazing season and provide meat of exceptional quality and taste.
