My grandmother, Nancy Struever, owns Tamworth Farm in Blue Hill Maine, where she raises sheep and has a large vegetable garden. The sheep are primarily "lawnmowers", though the meat in my freezer is a wonderful bonus, and recently I have been processing the wool at Hope Spinnery. Contact me if you are interested in knitting with some lovely black, gray or white wool (all natural colors) or getting some for a gift.
