Shearing day is a bit like a luxury spa day for our sheep, alpacas, llamas, and Angora goats!

All year long, our fluffy friends grow thick, cozy coats. But unlike many animals, they don’t naturally shed—meaning they need a little extra help to stay comfortable and healthy. That’s where our talented “fiber stylists” come in; Siri Swanson of Yankee Rock Farm shears our Finnsheep and Angora goats, while Ron Miller of Snowshoe Farm Alpacas trims up our alpacas and llamas.

Juniper’s Spring Spa Treatment

We’re lucky to work with professional shearers who are true artists and animal lovers. With gentle hands and expert care, they trim away the heavy winter coats, leaving each animal feeling fresh, clean, and ready for the warmer months ahead.
After their “haircuts” —and “pedicures” too—our animals practically bounce with joy, lighter on their feet and loving the breeze on their skin. It’s all part of making sure they stay happy, healthy, and ready for the change in weather.

And the best part? We get to gather their beautiful, soft fleece and turn it into cozy yarns and felting projects—spreading the goodness even further. Here, shearing day is a celebration—full of happy animals, beautiful fiber, and a whole lot of love.
