Emily has access to bulk wool and fleeces and can help refer spinners to breeders with fleeces if she does not have what you are looking for. Emily also helps smaller producers find and lease rams for breeding. Contact Emily for more information.

Emily sources wool for multiple buyers and works hard to help farmers maximize their wool check. She is happy to buy wool or help sell your clip even if she does not shear your sheep. She is happy to work with any producers in the region who need help selling wool or who are discouraged by their current wool sales situation.

Chestnut Creek Farm was established in 2005 by Jeffrey and Jan White. The 64-acre farm located in Carroll County is compromised of rolling forested hills, flat lowland meadows, fields in production, a fish pond, and several streams. The majority of tillable acreage is kept in corn and soybeans using no-till farming.
The fields nearest the farmstead rotate between vegetables grown for the family and farmers market and legumes (to restore soil quality). Blueberry bushes were planted in 2007 and came into production in 2010.
A small fruit orchard comprised of apple, peach, pear and plum trees has been started.
We also raise some pastured turkeys that are available in November for Thanksgiving.
Raise Katahdin ewes, and Katahdin/Dorper crossbreds.
