In the Field

Check out Newsday's feature on our Heritage line of woolen goods, and classic sweaters coming soon, all made from the Cotswold wool of our flock.  We're so excited for the 2016 Collection available this Fall. 

This weekend we bring back two favorite sweets:  Browder's Three Egg Poundcakes, made with our organic eggs, and Minty Moonpies, filled with Organic egg white meringue.  Find both at the markets and at the farmstand for a limited time.

Shear Madness!

Shear Madness!

This week our favorite shearer from the Long Island Livestock Company returned to get our flock in shape for summer heat and help us harvest the wool for our Cotswold Collection of 2017.  Meanwhile, the yarn from last season's shearing has been dyed, spun and is going into production this month for our 2016 Collection of classic sweaters available this Fall. It's amazing how much time, and the number of hands, that goes into making one woolly item! 

Road Trip to Battenkill

Road Trip to Battenkill

Holly is on her way upstate today with 300 lbs of raw wool and 270 miles to travel to Battenkill Fibers Mill to prepare our yarn for next Winter's Cotswold Collection. Meanwhile, back on the farm, we are anticipating the arrival of baby lambs any day now.   Our new laying hens were moved out of the the greenhouse brooder, where they have spent the Winter, and had their first week on green pasture.  Be sure and plan a visit soon to meet the newest members of the farm.

Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After

Once upon a time on a farm far, far away from Main Road there lived two ladies of Cotswold looking for their prince.  Many miles, time constraints and a body of water separated them for months.  But this week, Prince Charming traveled a great distance - in a trusty Ford F250 - over roads and Cross Sound Ferry to meet the maidens. It was a long, hard journey but he persevered, only laying down to rest on the ferry.    With nightfall approaching, he arrived in shining fleece.    He was lead to the ladies-in-waiting.  Together they galloped off into the sunset as the farm-people rejoiced and.... you know how it ends!     This is true love - you think this happens every day?
