In addition to being a country inn, The Craftsbury Inn is also a working Fiber Farm. We raise llamas, sheep, goats, alpaca, and rabbits for their fiber. From this fiber Kathy spins yarn, which is used in its natural colors or hand dyed. The yarn is then used to make all manner of hand knit products. In addition we import the wool of rare sheep breeds and make hand crafted knitting needles and other knitting items. 

Our Fiber Flock animals are mostly named after characters in the Harry Potter books. Here is Professor Dumbledore, our icelandic ram. While he is a tough boss of the sheep and goats, he still likes to have his chin scratched.

Joe is one of our two llamas. The llamas are there to protect the sheep and goats from predators. They may look docile, but woe be the coyote that messes with one of Joe's sheep. As an added advantage, we also get fiber from our llamas.

You may notice the coats on Harry Potter and Ron Weasly. These are not to keep them warm, but to help protect their fleece from dirt and vegetable matter.

Here are a few snapshots of the rest of the flock.
