Rancho Gordo’s got nothing on these guys! –Isabel S.

Roving shipped very quickly, and I was very excited when I received it. I couldn’t start spinning it fast enough. I have never spun Polypay before, but I find it similar to Shetland, which is one of my favorite wools. It’s springy…

I have both felted and spun with this wool now, and it does both marvelously! It’s kind of spongy feeling – the wool has a TON of crimp and memory. Spins like a champ, and felts like a champ. I…

Loved this family and farm immediately! They have the best quality meat and the care they give to the soil and the process of it all–it’s so appreciated! –Jessica T.

The best beans I’ve ever tasted. Cooking dry beans is sadly becoming a lost culinary skill. Your local grocery stores will only have black beans or pintos at best. Do yourself a favor and try the heirloom varieties. I promise…
