Contented Butterfly Farm

Since 2004, the farm has been raising registered Shetland sheep in historic Windsor, Vermont. Known for their fine fleeces, hardy constitutions, and inquisitive natures, these sheep have become a cornerstone of the farm. The farm is a member of the North American Shetland Sheep Association (NASSA) with flock number 1221 and participates in the Voluntary Scrapie Eradication Program (VT59). Additionally, the farm is affiliated with the Vermont Sheep and Goat Association, the Vermont Farm Bureau, and the New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Growers Association. In 2009, the farm joined the Northeast Organic Farmer's Association (NOFA-VT) to align with its principles, despite not being completely organic.

The farm emphasizes raising Shetland sheep with a focus on maintaining their fine fleeces and hardy constitutions. The flock is enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Eradication Program. Although not entirely organic, the farm supports the principles of the Northeast Organic Farmer's Association (NOFA-VT). The farm also raises Barred Holland chickens, a rare breed recognized by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, along with Golden Comet, Black Australorp, and Buckeye chickens. Ducks, including Indian Runners and a few Cayugas, are also part of the farm's diverse livestock. In the garden, various vegetables are grown, and efforts are underway to cultivate hazelberts and pawpaws.

The farm offers a variety of products including registered breeding stock, wool for spinning or felting, spun yarn (both commercially and handspun), meat available in whole, half, or individual cuts, and occasional pelts. The farm's commitment to rare and heritage breeds is evident in their choice of livestock, and they continue to expand their offerings with new crops like hazelberts and pawpaws.
