Hi! We are the Williams Women - Linda, and Moriah. We own a small farm on the TN KY border. We come from a long line of lady farmers and ranchers. We are continuing that tradition. Moriah personally works with every fleece before putting up for sale. You'll see her notes about each fleece in the listing and she sends handwritten notes about each fleece, her best processing results, and how the fleece spins best with each purchase. Not all our fleeces make it to selling. But all our of sheep are loved.

Moriah has a passion for ethical fiber and wool, especially spinning and weaving applications. Oh , and then there's knitting, or just sitting and carding wool and playing with the sheep. She loves her sheep, and so do I.

Moriah's very first sheep was a ram she worked for one winter that was slated for slaughter. He's since moved on to another farm with no threat of death. The second was a ewe lamb she saved after a neighbor's ewe rejected her. I'll never forget watching her try to get the ewe to take Lambi. She thought she had them together, but then the ewe pushed Lambi away the little lamb decided she needed a new momma. Lambi followed Moriah the half mile down the mountain to the farm. It was the beginning of a friendship. The two after that were mutts with decent wool, but special needs. Dagney passed in a sudden accident after a year. Her ewe lamb is a great treasure. Now Moriah rescues slaughter sheep. She no longer breed the ewes and any males born on the farm (some animals come to us already bred) are castrated and remain on the farm for their natural lifespan. When asked why she won't send her older ewes off to slaughter, Moriah replies, "My old girls are my friends, my humble beginning, a reminder of how passion shapes who we ultimately become."

We also keep chickens, geese, and ducks. If you watch, hollow, hand blown eggs will be up for sale occasionally. We keep mostly Easter and Olive egger chickens. We also offer naturally dropped chicken, duck, and geese feathers for crafts after the yearly molt. All the birds are allowed to free range the farm. We do collect eggs to keep them from reproducing. The dogs love them!

Moriah also grows herbs and has a small line of herbal teas, salves, and syrups. She gathers most of the herbs from tended wild areas. All of the beeswax comes from her community. These women are passionate about their bees and their bees' welfare. Everything she offers, she uses the formula personally and recommends to her in person clients.

Yes. We are continuing a four hundred year tradtion in a way that is a little uncoventional. But we think the thought, care, passion, and kindness that goes into each product sets it apart. After all, in the four hundred years since our foremothers began working this land one thing has not changed - hearts full of loving-kindness.
