Millcast Episode 73: Meadowfed Lamb
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We had a conversation with Rachel Haas, one of the owners of Meadowfed Lamb farm located in Hadley, Massachusetts. This farm practices Silvopasture, which means they allow their animals to graze in a fruit orchard. Their flock of Finn sheep produces beautiful fiber, which we have the privilege of processing at our mill.

I've been fortunate to have purchased and used a lot of Meadowfed Lamb's yarn and it's always gorgeous to work with. Rachel and Matt are a delight in person. Support them if you can.

I grew up on a very small farm - primarily cattle, but a menagerie. It has always AMAZED me the emotional capabilities animals have. This was another truly terrific interview! Thank you, Peggy and nicely done!!! Amanda, hope you’re snuggling ALL THE SNUGS you can right now!! ☺️🫶🏻🧶🐑🐏 hugs from the O-Lisa

Wow, thank you!
Great interview! I'm learning so much about sheep and farming methods. And another experience of how caring sheep are for their own and others. Thanks Peg and Amanda.

What an amazing story and learning experience for your viewers from Rachel. I had never heard of this type of farm and the amount of love and care that is obviously put into every part of the farm is both life affirming and heartbreaking. In my naïveté - I had to stop when she said that the majority of their sheep were meat producing. I don't think about that often as I want to assume all sheep are for wool and get to live long lives. To know how much care goes in to all of the sheep --for any purpose wasn't something I expected and shows how little I know about the realities of farm living. Thank you -- every week is amazing, but these personal stories - I can't begin to tell you how impactful they are.

If only sheep could rule the world! These stories are so heartwarming. I never thought too much about their personalities. Just the cliche about sheep mindlessly herding.

Hello!
An amazing interview! So much to learn. I’m curious do they also harvest the fruit and nuts? Thank you Rachel and Matt
So thrilled you interviewed Rachel!! Their yarn is so silky and beautiful and unique - I think at some point she thought I was a crazy person because I bought several sweaters’ worth and I am not sharing! 😂😂 But on a more serious note, it always amazes me just how much knowledge and hard labor goes into the type of farming that is actually good for people and good for the Earth. The fact that farms like theirs exist fills me with hope for the future. ❤

Congratulation Amanda. A boy or girl? Thanks for a lovely interview. All animals have a personality. And sheep labour is very much similar as humans. Grapes cause renal failure in dogs. What about sheep?
