Hello everyone! It's been too long, I know. How time flies!

Things are still going great with the rabbits. Our buck, who I lovingly call "Big Boy", continues to poke his head out of his door the second I unlatch it and beg for nose rubs! The broken tort doe, who I like to call "Tinkerbell", absolutely loves the little pretzel treats that I buy at a pet store and she will yank them out of my hand the second I offer them. The tort doe, who I tend to call a very inventive "Tort", will stand in her cage doorway and beg for food at every meal time. These three beautiful English Angoras have lived with us for almost a year and a half, and they have become a part of the family. We keep thinking about breeding them, but I'm nervous that we would have a difficult time selling the bunnies. If you would be interested in babies, please email us at seedorff.family.farms@gmail.com!

On the crafting front we have been carding angora into batts for ease of spinning and we have been cranking out angora yarn! We have single- and two-ply yarns ranging in weight from sport to bulky. We also have plans to card some alpaca/angora blends together. I'm sure that will be a dream to spin!!

As always, we have angora fiber available!!! We have black, tort, and broken tort fiber- $6 per oz., plus extra for shipping. If you're interested please email us at seedorff.family.farms@gmail.com!
