Developing a CSA – my story and what I’d do if I had to do it all over again.
Not so long ago, Susan Gibbs left a career as a network news producer in New York City in search of something more authentic. A chance encounter with a book about raising sheep sealed her fate. With a great deal of hard work and a towering stack of How-to-Farm books, Susan developed a flock of Cormo sheep and a beautiful herd of angora goats. Today, Juniper Moon Farm is home to a herd of lovely angora goats, some fat, spoiled sheep, two Maremma livestock guardian dogs, and the world’s first yarn CSA. In her spare time, Susan does consulting for would-be farmers and has written dozens of published articles on food and farming. But her full-time job is shepherding the flock and blogging about her experiences.Led by: Susan Gibbs
