2024 NY State Sheep and Wool Festival

Farmer Tam, with the help of her children and community, have been cultivating a home with a heart for fiber animals of all species and breeds in a small New England town since 2001.  Their focus on breed specific fiber, by beloved flocks,  keeps Tamara and helpers busy year round.  The farm sells wool products such as yarns, felt, roving, and comforters and farm made soaps, home baked pies, fresh eggs and chicks, geese and lambs through farm markets, sheep + wool festivals and their online shop.  Tamara teaches Natural Dyeing, Baking, Soap Making and Farming/Homesteading Workshops episodically.  The farm hosts visits by appointment and workshops for learning homestead and fiber arts.  The latest development on the farm, since the purchase of foundation ewes in 2018, is the breed-up program of Valais Blacknose sheep.  Wing & A Prayer Farm is home to Vermont’s first pure blood Valais Blacknose Sheep and some of the first Valais Blacknose sheep in North America.
