All crafts are handmade! Knit pumpkins and decorations are filled with Tunis fiber from our flock. The soaps are made with milk from our does. The salves contain plants sustainably wild-crafted here on the farm. Thank you for supporting small farms and artisans!

We have been busy preparing for craft fairs, holiday gifts, and the upcoming maple season! Ben recently attended the West Virginia University Maple Seminar in Summersville, WV and is looking forward to increased production in the maple woods this year. Delaney has harvested many of her pumpkins and has been busy selling them in Aid. Additionally, we are scheduled to vend at the Ironton Farmer’s market Fridays in October. At the Ironton market, we will also have fall crafts, sweet potatoes, and baked goods. Thank you for your continued support of Tarheelbilly Farm!

Stella is a yearling ewe. A twin, she is a bit more aloof than her sister, but she always comes over to greet me when I enter the pasture. Her ears are nearly always erect, giving her a look that vacillates between curious and alert. Stella's fleece placed 3rd in her class at last year's KY Sheep and Fiber Festival She is being exposed to Clancy, whose fleece won best in class 2 years ago. Fingers crossed for beautiful fiber babies March 2020! #tarheelbillyfarm #tunissheep #rarebreed #se2se #livestockconservancy #woolfarmer #fiberfarm #sheep #sheepofinstagram #blackfarmer #woc
It was a nice afternoon to check the fence line. Along the way, I picked up a few black walnuts. Not only are they a tasty addition to cookies and sweet breads, they are wonderful to dye with. I am also experimenting with their efficacy as a dewormer/worm suppressant. I have always enjoyed being in the woods. I am fortunate that our farm has quiet, hidden places where I can just sit and BE STILL for a minute, something I have a rather hard time doing. I am able to think when in a quiet place. In a world that seems to push us to go faster and faster, slowing down almost seems like an act of defiance. #tarheelbillyfarm #sunday #homesteadlife #bestill #woods #farmlife #farmher #hearHim #shepherdlife #woolfarmer
It's a cold, frosty morning. The animals were undeterred by the low temperature. Sunrise revealed deer browsing in the lower field, sheep grazing in the upper pasture, and the cows sunning themselves on the knoll. Now that the vegetation is starting to die back, I have begun to find these beauties attached to brush and fences. As we are a pesticide-free farm, it makes me happy to see these. Our garden will be better for their presence next spring. Bonus points if you know what rests inside! #tarheelbillyfarm #pesticidefree #integratedpestmanagement #backyardfarm #smallfarm #nospray #chemicalfree #homesteadlife #permaculture #modernfarmer
CJ is the spitting image of her sire, Clancy. So far, it seems that she has inherited his excellent fleece qualities, too. Some of this year's lambs bear striking resemblance to their parents, either in their fleeces, body style, or faces. It's neat to see how genes are passed from parents to offspring. #tarheelbillyfarm #genetics #shepherdess #tunissheep #woolfarmer #rarebreed #se2se #farmmusings #futureyarn #flocktalk #smallfarm #wovember2019
It was so much fun connecting with my fiber friends yesterday. VKL has been amazing! There are so many exceptional teachers, speakers, authors, designers, and vendors at every turn. #tarheelbillyfarm #vogueknittinglive #fiberlife #thefatsqrrl #fiberfriends #connectinreallife #sheissofunny #woolfarmer #blessed
