The Breeze Hill Farm story began in 1993 with 4 Romney x Border Leicester sheep, 3 Angora Rabbits, a spinning wheel and the desire to bring a high quality, locally raised yarn to the knitting community. At the same time produce wool and fiber for other fiber artist that had not or could not make the leap into raising livestock. Not an easy task without the internet!!
Through the years, as peoples interests changed, we continued to change and grow ourselves. During leaner times, we started a farm based fiber share program. Also, we started having our fibers processed at the mill. Handspun yarn became a specialty. At one point we had 30 sheep, over 25 Angora rabbits, 2 llamas, an Angora goat, plus a handful of dairy goats. Having made the choice, in the beginning, to be a “no kill” farm, each year was becoming harder on us because of so many ram lambs. In 2008, we ended our breeding program and chose to bring in ewe lambs to add to our flock.
Fast forward to today. So many things have changed. There is a lot more competition now in the small fiber farm community. The demand for sustainable yarns and fibers has grown. We do still have our original bloodline of sheep but we’ve new breeds, with different fiber types to tempt our customers with! I teach knitting, crochet, spinning and needle felting classes year round. It is also my job to create..the fun part. Hubby is the farmer. He keeps our producers fed, vetted and spoiled. You can find us at fiber festivals, farmers markets, holiday markets, special events and of course..online.
The past 25 years have been an awesome journey and we can’t wait to see where the future takes this fantastic and amazing industry and our quest to make the “perfect yarn”.
