Tamworth Piglets Off to New Homes

Two sets of 8 week old Stark Hollow Farm Tamworth feeder piglets are off to their new homes. One, a happy return customer from the Intervale in Burlington, Vermont and the other, a new customer from Richmond, Vermont.


Shearing Day!

Another shearing day complete here at Stark Hollow Farm in Vermont! Together with our shearer, the job was complete in about 3 hours. Many of our Icelandics were starting to "roo", which is a term that describes the way that the fleece is naturally shed by the animals. We love shearing day because it is a chance to see how the ewes, especially the lactating ewes are doing coming off winter.

Our animals are 100% grass fed with no commercial or customer grain mixtures used. This means their condition at the time of lactation is their lowest of the year, and yet as you can see from these photos, the girls look great!
