Ballerina Farm warmly welcomes HERD, the British wool house founded by Ruth Alice Rands. We raise cows in the mountains of Utah. HERD spins yarn from Bluefaced Leicester sheep in the hills of northern England. While we may be an ocean apart, we share a vision of how we can honor the whole animal, keep products and processes close to the land, and care for every hand along the way.
We are so excited to introduce you to HERD at our Midway Farm Store, November 12–14. Our chefs collaborated with Ruth on a pastry case with delicious goods, served from 9am until the last crumb. A curated selection of HERD products will be available for purchase, including a piece designed exclusively for Ballerina Farm, inspired by our local Utah landscape.
Join us for a sock knitting workshop, led by Ruth and nourished with warm drinks, pastries, and plenty of good wool. Pull up a chair and a pair of knitting needles and enjoy connecting with Ruth and other knitters. Ruth will share the story behind her wool, grown from Bluefaced Leicester sheep in the north of England and offer knitting tips. Each knitter takes home three balls of HERD wool and a printed pattern booklet, tucked into a cotton drawstring bag. Feel free to bring your own needles, size US 6 (4mm) and 4 (3.5mm), or purchase a pair at the workshop.
*Please note that the location for this workshop is not wheelchair accessible and does require ascending one flight of stairs.
