Fiber and Food

Aurora Blue Farm began as a dream in 2015. One that intertwined wool and nutritious pasture raised lamb. Bethany began hide tanning in 2018, creating sheepskins using non toxic methods such as bark tanning, and brain/egg tanning. She makes soaps, candles and various fiber goods to honor the life of each animal raised on their farm. Nothing goes to waste. We believe in keeping things old fashioned, and simple. Working with the land and animals, flowing the seasons.

While our primary focus is on our flock of heritage breed of Jacob and Icelandic sheep, we do have a small herd of cattle that provide ample manure that fertilizes the soil. We incorporate several species of animals on the farm to work in a symbiotic relationship with each other that provide benefits to our land.

We rotate our flock and herd of cattle between our farm and neighboring pastures. This method allows the native grasses to thrive while keeping the soil from getting overloaded with invasive weeds, and parasites.

Our mission and purpose is to give back, rather than be extractive of the land and our animals. Using holistic farming practices.
