Heaven Sent Food & Fiber has a flock of covered white and natural color Merino sheep, Huacaya Alpacas and Angora Rabbits. Last spring we sent over 100# of wool to the mill, and still kept the best back for ourselves and other hand spinners who appreciate the softest yarns available.  Our yarns and fibers are hand dyed and we have recently started working with a local pattern designer Jan Garrett (mamagarrett to  Ravelry users) who is creating wonderful options for the beginner knitters and experienced knitters who want to relax.  We make goats' milk soaps from our Nubian Dairy goats and felt them with alpaca. Our felted dog pickles and cat balls make everyone's furry friends happy. We also sell honey from our bee hives. All our products straight from our Farm to Ewe!
