Shaggy Bear Farms Trunk Show

Shaggy Bear Farms is a small family farm that strives to promote and preserve the rare, endangered and lesser-known fiber breeds inhabiting our planet. They are located in the small town of Scio, Oregon. Shaggy Bear Farms prides themselves on being a source of "farm to needle" yarns and fiber for spinning. This family business has been described as a “forever farm” and frequently serves as a "farm sanctuary and rescue space" for animals needing a new home. The family at Shaggy Bear Farms are proud participants in the Livestock Conservancy’s "Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em" program and offer yarns, rovings, and other fiber products from the 44 breeds they raise.

 

At Shaggy Bear Farms, each family member believes that humans have inherited a rich variety of livestock breeds. Therefore the loss of these breeds would deter the use of these unique fibers, degrade the diversity of the species, and diminish the human spirit.
