Last batch of chickens were processed today. They will be frozen end of day tomorrow so if you would like fresh chicken please send me a note.

Thank you to all my customers for your support this summer/fall ( and previous few years) for chicken. There will be frozen chicken for a while available in whole, half and some parts.

Pumpkins from Red Mountain Farm are truly delicious to sheep…and chickens, horses, goats…. haven’t given any to the ducks yet!

See for yourself…

Brandon, Manitoba was the host to the CCWG 106th Annual Meeting.

The flight was long but Manitoba is so beautiful and also flat, and the black black soil is something to see!

It was held during the Manitoba Ag Ex, a huge exhibition from Oct 23-26th at the Westoba Ag. Centre of Excellence. An amazing facility with everything one can imagine focused around beef & sheep.

We started with a wool evaluation workshop run by excellent presenters Gerry Oliver ( Spirit Sands Farm) & Susie Gourlay (knit natural). I highly recommend these two.

We checked out Total Farm Supply, the latest CCWG retail store, with great staff, organization & product.

As usual lots of business to discuss on the CCWG and Canadian wool clip as well as retail operations and much more.

The llamas were onsite by the course and being so new and adorable I had to take a pic of the family.

Now back to my regular farm& mill operations!

“I strongly believe that when we feel more connected to the source of our wool, when we understand the stories and people behind the wool we love, we will seek out a different path.

This book aims to be a starting point of connection between land and sheep, sheep and farmer, fibre artist and wool.”
