Description

With a background in Animal Science, and a childhood rooted in farming, Carrie Woolley has always loved the farm. Her own farm began growing everything from cherries to apples before she realized something else was missing - Sheep! Introducing sheep to her orchards has made the pastures richer and more tidy. The sheep graze the overgrowth of weeds and grasses (saving them $30,000 annually in grass cutting costs) and their manure nourishes the soil. Best of all, she also sells the lamb products to NIKU Farms. Take a listen!
