The Farm
Tawney Farm LLC was established in 2010 but we've been living here since 2002. The "farm" has a two-story barn with a hand-cut stone foundation built in the early 1900's that is home to our small herd of Merino and Jacob sheep. Our farm is also home to a miniature horse, chickens and of course, cats and a very special chihuahua mutt named Flo. There's also a tractor barn with corn cribs, an old wooden garage/tool shed and several other utility buildings, one of which we've converted into a small communal lodge and information booth. We've also built a stage onto the old sawmill to present live music during the Gauley River Jam in September.

Through The Years . . . |
Merino & Jacob SheepMerino sheep, which are so famous for their fine wool, originated in Spain. It is the main breed raised in New Zealand. Merinos were first imported to North America in the 1700's. Since the lambs are small and mature slowly, wool is the main reason to raise them, other than selling breeding stock. Merino fleece is heavy with lanolin. Although the origin of Jacob sheep is unknown, the breed gets its name from the story of Jacob and his spotted sheep in the book of Genesis. In addition to having random spots all over its body, it often grows up to six horns, although four is more common. Cross bred with our Merinos, it produces a dark brown fine wool that spinners love.
