Kindred Spirit Farm Fiber CSA
2011 Fiber CSACSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Individuals and families purchase a share from the farmer and in return they receive a portion of the harvest delivered in regular intervals. Produce CSAs are the most popular and members pick up their veggies each week during the growing season. Before we raised sheep, we operated a produce CSA.Now that our flock has grown to over thirty-five head, we are pleased to announce the 2011 Kindred Spirit Farm Fiber CSA. Fiber enthusiasts near and far, come join us a year-long adventure in raising endangered breeds and receive the fruits of our labors in yarn, roving, fleeces, and dye plant materials. Let that inner farm girl or farm boy in you, come out to play.Here's a chance to know where your fiber comes from. Just think, instead of saying, "Yah I picked up this yarn at the local superstore"..You will be able to proclaim,"This is Essie's wool.

Isn't her wool gorgeous?"If you know someone who is a knitter, crocheter, felter, or spinner a CSA share makes a perfect gift.Our sheep our very friendly.
