Who we are

About the farm

On the edge of Exmoor National Park, near Wiveliscombe in West Somerset, we run a smallholding where we keep a rare breed flock of Portland, Icelandic, Shetland and Exmoor Horn sheep (the HoneyWoods Flock), plus West of England geese and chickens, farming with care for the soil and wildlife. We blade shear our sheep in spring and card, spin, plant-dye and weave their wool by hand; in our online shop we offer raw fleeces, carded wool, yarns and, to commission, hand-woven shawls and blankets, sent by post. In our workshop we run spinning, weaving and natural dyeing workshops as well as multi-day wool retreats; participants can visit the flock and camp on site.
