Spinnakee's Fiber Farm

Betty of Spinnakees' Fiber Farm, was raised by a flock of wild "Sheepes".  She was found running around Maine with a sheep skin hanging around her neck, which was tied with pine branches to her back.  She survived by eating blueberries and drinking wild goats' milk.  Her adopted family was a group of knitters, hookers, spinners and strippers. They fostered her creativity by encouraging her to raise a flock of sheep, a small herd of Angora goats and a few German Angora Rabbits.  Pets were allowed to live in their house because they had no room for a barn!  When Betty married Bill they encouraged their bio and foster children to work hard on her farm, because child labor is free!  In return she knit them items to wear to keep them warm in Maine winters.

"Now for the real story!"  Betty was raised by a hard working mother from St. Anthony, NFLD and her dad who was a Merchant Seaman who brought home many exotic items:  Beautiful blankets and stuffed dogs made out of LLama fiber, to name a few.  Hence, her love of natural fibers.  Her husband, Bill, encourages her to raise her little "Babydoll" sheep, Angora goats and German Angora rabbits.  As long as he can hunt, fish, 4-wheel and visit his beloved camp in Beddington, Maine.  I'm not sure if this location is on the map.  Just go north!

PS  My farm was built around my bio and foster family and I still love all the work it takes to make a farm run in a healthy way.  Farm:  1977 to Present!  Hope you enjoy this senario!!
