FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. How long is the Adoption Period? What does the program cost?
A. The Adoption Period is 1 year. The program fee is $150 USD for U.S. addresses, paid at the beginning of your adoption year.
Q. When can I sign up?
A. You can enroll any time, and your adoptions period will go for one year after you sign up.
Q. What kind of sheep am I adopting?
A. A Coopworth ewe (female) who stays in the flock year after year to produce lambs. These are lovely wool producers.
Q. Do I have to live within driving distance?
A. No. The seasonal visits are a bonus, not a necessity. Our correspondence will make you feel like you’re right here on the farm, and we’ll send your fleece through the mail.
Q. Can I share my sheep with a friend?
A. Yes, as long as there is one designated contact person with whom we communicate.
Q. What if...what if my sheep dies?
A. Should your sheep suffer an unexpected loss of life, we’ll either refund your fee prorated to the nearest month, or offer you a swap should another sheep be available.
Q. How do you organize the seasonal visits?
A. We set aside a block of time and notify our Adoptive Families by email.
Q. What if I want my fleece processed, not raw?
A. The fleece in its raw (straight off the sheep) state is included in the Adoption. If you want it as roving, quilt batting, yarn, etc, we would be happy to coordinate this. You would be responsible for the processing charges.
