Harvest Hill Acres, located in the beautiful SOGN valley of south central Minnesota, is home to a purebred flock of 100 CVM Romedale sheep. This breed of sheep are one of the rarest breeds of sheep in the United States. They are a dual purpose breed providing a mild flavored meat and a fine fiber. The CVM Romeldale comes in many beautiful rich colors. All of our yarn is the natural color of each individual sheep. The fleece of this breed generally darkens and softens as the animal ages. The fiber is soft enough for next to skin wear with micron counts ranging from 20-25. Our sheep are coated to help keep their fleeces as clean as possible. With a variety of colors and soft fleece that is easy to spin, knit or weave these sheep are a fiber artist's dream. Our flock started in spring of 2015 with two wethers from friends that needed a home. It was love at first sight then, and we continued to search for a breeding group and as luck would have it, someone changed their mind on a starter flock and we acquired them right away in September of 2015. We now manage our own breeding program with consideration for breed standards, quality fleece, good conformation, and a variety of color patterns. Because of our commitment to wildlife conservation, we looked at minor breeds for our home farm, we consider this an honor to steward this critically endangered breed of sheep. We have a “on site” yarn store, that can also be used for presentations and classes. Farm visits allowed by appointment for schools, children, and senior centers and most importantly fiber enthusiasts.
