Our life on West Elm Farm started on a rainy Sunday afternoon. While reading the Sunday paper, I fantasized out loud that it might be fun to restore an old farmhouse and have a few animals when we retired. Little did I know how my life was about to change. A few weeks later we decided to act on our dream now while we still had the energy. We both were ready to leave the city and now seemed as good a time as any. Restoring an old neglected house, researching sheep and poultry breeds and building fences and outbuildings has been a lot of work, but we don't regret our decision.

Our goal at West Elm Farm is to produce quality breeding stock by keeping our flock small and providing our animals with a healthy, safe living environment. We have expanded our product line at West Elm Farm. We now offer Icelandic wool and mohair, fall pasture raised lamb (whole or half), hand made Goat's Milk & Lanolin soap, Betty's Balm for Working Hands, (a lanolin based hand balm), scented 100% Beeswax candles, free-range chicken and duck eggs and farm raised rabbit meat. We are proud of our little Micro farm and welcome visitors.
