Welcome to our end of the
 Rainbow!

The Homestead is a small, animal friendly, family owned and operated business located on a small farm nestled in scenic Jordan Valley near Monroe, Wisconsin. The sheep enjoy roaming 25 acres of pasture--their 'job' only to be happy, peaceful--AND to provide us all with some gorgeous fiber--with great karma attached!

The term ‘animal friendly’, in our case means that our animals are safely grazing the rest of their lives away here at our farm, on pastures, never separated from their ‘families’ and friends. They are not eaten, sold, given away or allowed to have babies—unless they arrive here pregnant of course! They are part of our family and our biggest blessing. Their happiness and good care are our utmost concern. We are proud to be a part of this new genre of fiber producers--and so are our sheep!

We have dedicated our lives to what we feel is an honorable and ethical animal rescue/sanctuary. We love our animals beyond words. We hope you will find our pricing structure very fair-- we are not in this for the money, but rather to find a way to keep our farm in business so that we may continue to provide shelter for the many animals who may otherwise not have a chance to live out the remainder of their lives in peace. For more information about us please visit our 'meet the sheep' or FAQ pages. We were also recently featured in Lexi Boeger’s new book ‘Intertwined’. (thank you Lexi!!)

For our sheep family's pictures and stories, please visit our Snapshot pages--you will find some interesting stories and all of our very adorable, charming sheep!!!

 Each item we offer is created to be unique and different from any other. A few of the items offered at the Homestead include raw and washed wool, spinning fiber in a variety of preparations, shawls & ponchos, scarves, hats & mittens. We aim to provide affordable, quality products that are sure to add a unique touch to your next project! Items are frequently added so stop by often to see what is new!
Custom spinning is our specialty so give us a shout if you need yarn spun specifically for your next project--design your own yarn with the help of our happy sheep!
