Our History
In 1998, we decided to find a new use for our farm. The 17 acre property had been used as a dairy and beef farm for a number of years. We did some research, talked to many, many people, took classes through the Univerity of Vermont extension program with “the sheep guy” Chet Parsons and eventually decided we wanted to be sheep farmers.
We were then fortunate to cross paths with Jeri Harris and Robert MacMahon and their incredible flock of Shetland Sheep. It took only spending an afternoon with them to decide that this was the breed for us.
In the Spring of 1999 our small flock of four Shetland sheep arrived. Our proud ram Blake and ewes Tally, Willow and Matylda made themselves right at home.
We have grown in 2010 to a flock of 32 sheep. Rowan (6) and Declan (3) Perry continue our tradition as the future shepherds of Maybelle Farm. Each day we seem to learn a little more, have at least one farm adventure and say again how happy we are to have found Shetland sheep. Their curious personalities, feistiness and wagging tales always bring a smile to our faces.
