WHY WE LIVE HERE
Lilac Ridge Farm is located in Southern Wisconsin where the rolling
hills proudly display red barns, green pastures, healthy livestock, bountiful gardens, lively woodlands,
breathtaking sunsets and lots of beauty ... (well ok.....I'll admit these rolling hills also contain massive snowdrifts
in winter).
The Farm, the plan
Lilac Ridge Farm is a 50 acre farm purchased in 2005. The first few years were spent establishing
pastures, erecting buildings, and planning. We decided to raise fiber sheep and goats using earth friendly, sustainable
practices. The first 6 CVM romeldales were welcomed here in 2008. In 2009 a few pygora goats from Oregon rolled
in. Most recently, in 2010, three elegant purebred rambouillet ewes joined the flock. In
addition to breeding for sound, healthy animals, LRF is commited to breeding for superior fine fleeces with a focus
on the handspinner/crafter. To accompish this goal, LRF coats the "coatable" animals and
utilizes best practices for skirting and processing fleece. For our customers we will provide products that
are of best quality we can produce that is honestly described with a money back guarantee,
