Welcome to my seasonal fleece box!
I am proud to be sharing with you a quarterly seasonal flavour of our land, a connection to my rare breed flock and to the plants and wildlife that we live among here on the farm.
Every 3 months you can receive a different, seasonal selection of fleece and plant products from my flock and my fields in West Somerset, and carefully selected blade shorn flocks in the South West.
Once you are on the subscription list, you will receive an email giving you the option to buy a box before it goes on public sale. You are not obliged to order one each time. If you don't order twice in a row, I ask that you come off the list so we can add someone from the waiting list.
All of my sheep are blade shorn for their own health and wellbeing and because it improves the quality of their fleeces, something that I have seen improve year on year - I manage our small flock sustainably, ethically and with the very best of welfare in mind.
All the plants foraged and harvested will be from the farm and nearby hedgerows, or from local growers where they are sustainably harvested, with information about the plants and our connection to them.
A typical box will include around 400 - 450g of fleece, for example:
* Carded batt from a single named animal
* Washed, sometimes plant-dyed fleece from our flock ready for spinning or felting
* Raw fleece such as our Shetland/Icelandic lamb's fleeces or other breeds sourced from within an hour of our farm
* Sliver from the HoneyWoods flock
* Plant dye, natural ink, herbal tea or other seasonal plant-based goodies
Packaged in a recycled box and posted second class.
The products will vary depending on the time of year and the availability of fleeces.
I will post out every 3 months for the Spring Equinox, Summer solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter solstice.
Last orders for each will be 18 March, 18 June, 18 September and 18 December.
