nourishing earth, body, and soul with our flock of Icelandic sheep
We raise purebred Icelandic sheep on our hillside farm in Conway, MA using regenerative and humane grazing and management practices.
We offer 100% grass-fed lamb and mutton; luxurious heirloom sheepskins; premium raw fleeces, roving, and yarns; and high-quality registered breeding stock.
Our priority as shepherds is for our flock to be as happy and healthy as possible as we work with them in unison to revitalize the land, waterways, and surrounding ecosystem and to provide our community with offerings from the farm which deeply nourish the body and soul.
Our animals are born, raised, and harvested right here on our farm with deep reverence and respect and we strive to honor them through utilizing as much of the animal as possible—from horn to hoof.
TOGGEN-WHAT ?
Our farm name comes from the Icelandic words used to describe the unique dual-coated fleece of the Icelandic sheep:
tog (rhymes with bog) refers to the long, thick, weather-resistant guard hairs and
thel (rhymes with shell) describes the soft, warm, and downy undercoat.
Put them together: tog and thel…Say it fast: Toggenthel!
In our experience life is a little dual-coated, too: there are thicker, more rigid moments interspersed with times of epic beauty and softness. When woven together, they make for one heckuva ride.
