Cotswold Sheep in the Green Mountains
Crafting unique felted sculptures and rugs while raising a heritage sheep breed, Cotswolds, is a labor of love that our family has been undertaking for over 3 decades. We live in Wallingford, Vermont in a beautiful valley with lush meadows and a view of the Green Mountains.
The crafts sold by Marble Meadows are created by flock master Sue. The birds and animals are needle felted. Wool roving is used to create the braided rugs and pot holders.
Specializing in preserving their own pasture ecosystem, our sheep consume grass and fertilize at the same time. As a by-product of this practice, we also create habitat for grassland and ground nesting birds. Birds will even perch on the backs of sheep to gain a higher elevation so they can watch for bugs to eat.
It is a joy to walk in the pasture and observe wildflowers. Coltsfoot, columbine, blue irises, morning glories and a diverse color array of lilies rivaling any flower garden. Our sheep create their own paradise.
