Southern Sheep Company is a small, Veteran family-owned and run farm located on the beautiful coast of Eastern North Carolina. We are tucked away in a little rural town known as Richlands.Many moons ago after and in-depth discussion with my spouse, he agreed I could own and raise sheep, if I was able to come up with a means to earn and pay for them, their needs and all the provisions. Challenge accepted. Thus began the early beginnings of what would become our lifelong endeavor and greatest passion.

I have had a huge love of all things related to fiber and fiber arts. I began fiber spinning over twenty years ago. It was during that time I was able to travel to the Maryland Sheep and Fiber Show. Surrounded by others who loved the art as much as I did, I became inspired to learn and hone my skills of needle felting. My passion grew and I spent countless hours focused on my creations. The following year I entered one of my pieces, a beautiful bobcat I had created ,into the Fine Art Competition. She took best in show out of 500 other entries! My love for artwork has taken off since then and over the years I have been able to have my pieces shown, displayed and awarded in various competitions, art galleries, venues and even Vogue Magazine knitting live events.

Over the years our love of fiber arts and our heart for our farm has continued to grow. In fact everything has continued moving in a positive direction of growth. With time, hard work, studying, learning and trial and error, Southern Sheep Company has truly gone from a single seed to a whole forest. We have a beautiful array of farm life here that are well respected and cared for members of our family. Our farm itself continues to expand, including a move to larger property. The products we carry on our farm have continued to expand over the years as well. The hard work, continuing education and deep spirited love for the arts, nature, holistic lifestyle and farm have all played their role in honoring our efforts. We have grown to include community outreach, community education ,local public schools, FFA, 4H programs, NC State Fair and being a part of local farmers markets and farm stores as well as several national sheep associations.

From the soil to the sky, we believe in respecting the planet we live on and even more enhancing it as we go, leaving it better then how we found it. In our daily life we consistently perform this in many ways. We encourage the growth of many different native plants and grasses suitable to our area and livestock. We have educated ourselves on the benefits of pasture rotation, cow microbiome, parasite management and soil quality and improvement. We strategically raise beneficial herbal plants for our products of dried teas, tinctures, balms, bug sprays, soap additives, fiber dyes and more. Every item produced on our farm is done intentionally and purposefully. We pride ourselves in the ability to produce truly healthy, harmful chemical free, toxin/PFAS free and family friendly hypoallergenic products. Our animal’s quality of life, humane practices and their health will always come first to Southern Sheep Company. All of the animals here fit a need and are given the opportunity to live their lives as naturally as possible. We look forward to sharing our current and future products and unique artisan pieces with you. We are thankful to have you share our journey.
