Our Beginning
Our story begins in 2006 when we saw the farm go up for sale that we always dreamed of owning. We knew we didn’t want to milk large animals but we knew we wanted to make it a fully functioning farm. So our oldest son at the time was in FFA and needed a fair project. He decided on a lamb. So off we went to buy two lambs for his project. Well several hundred sheep later, here we were a sheep dairy with a full milking parlor. We have never looked back and had even added grass fed beef, free range chickens, pastured pigs, and a flock of sheep. We raised our animals with the utmost care and hoped that we were providing a quality product from animals that have lived a quality life.
In June 2024, Brian suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. By the grace of God, he survived but we are still working on rehabilitation so we sold off our animals gradually with the last leaving the farm September 2025 and announced the closure of the farm store in July 2026. But we are still here realigning our focus which includes organically raised vegetables and continuing with the sheep milk soaps, lotions, soy candles, and other items that we feel are beneficial to us and to you. We ask that you continue to follow us and see where our journey leads.
"From two tiny lambs to milking a large flock of ewes, what started as something small for the Michielson family became the blueprint for their mission to help others learn about farming and food."

Sheep milk is the main ingredient in most of our products. I make all my products in small batches and use quality ingredients - no artificial fragrances or dyes. Essential oils and botanically infused oils for scent are a must for my own sensitive skin. And did you know that the extra fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals in sheep milk are great for your skin health!
