The Rutland Area Lamb and Wool Producers of
Vermont is a non-profit group
representing local shepherds. Your support helps the local farmer and
contributes to the local economy. It also helps to keep Vermont's pastures open
and green. We invite you to look around our web site and contact us if you have
any questions at all.
Lamb comes to market and sheep are shorn once per year, but
growing these quality products is a year-round job. Our shepherds take great
care in raising a wholesome, quality product. From long winter nights in the
barn at lambing time till the product is delivered at your door our goal is to
grow the very best lamb, lamb that you will find to be more economical than you
imagined. Our fleeces are clean and well cared for, that means cleaning fields
of briar and thistles, building special feeders to keep hay out of our wool, and
paying special attention to the health and nutrition of our flocks.
When you buy our product you are buying from local people who
want you to be pleased with their product, and who want to maintain their
reputation for high quality. This personal contact with the actual producer
helps to assure your satisfaction.
