Believe it or not, we already have much more angora on its way! This first bag is already spoken for, and will be sold for $6 to a local spinner, but there is so much more! We have currently available:
0.9 oz. tort
0.8 oz. broken tort (tort mixed with white)
0.2 oz. black
0.7 oz. felting fiber (from the face and belly, rather than the back, mixed colors)
The hand-plucked, premium spinning fiber is $6 per ounce, and the felting fiber is $4 per ounce. Please email seedorff.family.farms@gmail.com to place your order.
This past week I got to visit two new yarn shops up near my parents' house, and I noticed something very exciting. One of the shops had yarn for sale from a local alpaca farm- the shop sells local fibers!! I am hoping that after we get some of the angora spun we could sell it at that shop, as well as some other shops closer to where I live.
On the bunny front, the black buck is adorable as ever, loving to have his ears scratched and to be held. The tort doe, who used to be rather skittish, has started coming over to have her nose rubbed when I feed her, which is exciting for me. I can tell that they are getting used to me. The broken tort doe, who has been really skittish in the past and has even tried to bite me, seems to be calming down a bit. She is still wary of my hands in her cage, but she has been letting me put the food in her dish without jumping at me, and when I got her out of her cage to brush her on Sunday she came fairly quietly, although I still had to catch her off-guard to get her without a fight. I'm sure as our routine continues that we will get used to each other.
I also went to the local farm store to buy another bag of rabbit feed and some barn lime yesterday. It is the first time that I have bought food for them since the day we got them, so you know they don't eat too much.
Anyway, my real life job is getting really busy in these next few weeks, so please don't stop checking back for updates if I don't update regularly! We're still here, and we still want your business!! If you ever have any questions about anything involving the business or our fibers, please email me at seedorff.family.farms@gmail.com any time.
Tip of the Week: When the litter pans seem to get messiest in the same places week after week, try using some barn lime to help dry out the heavily soiled spots. It will be less nasty to clean up and it will cut down on the smell.
