Question 2

What are Icelandic sheep?

Accepted Answer

Icelandic sheep are one of the oldest, purest breeds of sheep in the world. They were brought to Iceland by the Vikings. They are a multi-purpose sheep, and have a double-coated fleece, which makes their fiber warm and soft. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, both horned and polled (without horns), and have big personalities. Our flock originated from Vermont and is used only for fiber.

We have a variety of edible products ranging from jams and jellies, pickles, and chutneys, to seasoning salts and ferments, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables if you are local.
