Full service fiber farm in Petersburg, NY

A working farm in Petersburg, NY

We started this farm back in 1986 with a love of fiber animals and a lot of pasture. Today John, Paul and Todd raise show-quality llamas, giant angora rabbits, and colored angora goats in the hills above Petersburg, not far from Bennington and the Vermont border.

Come by and see the animals, pick up fiber at the stand, or order online. We love having visitors. It really is something to watch shearing day or spend time with a new cria.
