We are a collective of seven sheep and two humans who together grow wool on our hundred-acre Vermont farm. We make our own felt by hand, and handcraft our hats, booties and other creations using original designs and patterns. We source everything as close to home as possible, and our goods are created “from the grass up” right on the farm.
But hayseeds we aren’t. We envision a world where one-year-old boys wear purple fedoras and toddlerettes wear 1920s-inspired beaded cloches. We’d like to see newborn gentlemen wearing tiny felt wing tips and bowler hats embellished with vintage buttons, and we’d absolutely love to see itty-bitty ladies completing every outfit with a feathered cocktail headband!
Our vision is not only to create fabulous items of adornment; we are also on a mission to connect children with the origins of their essential possessions. We believe that knowing where things come from and how they are made enriches a child’s understanding and appreciation of our world. To this end, we accompany each of our goods with a storybook introducing our farm and the sheep that contributed the wool. Our sheep have distinct personalities, and we design along thematic “lines” that celebrate them.
