Frequently Asked Questions
Hudson Valley Farm & Flea
Do you sell wholesale?
No, we are a small farm with a small flock of sheep. We simply do not have the quantity for wholesale. We spin all our wool and sell directly to customers on our website and the year-round Saturday Greenmarkets (Union Square & Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn) in NYC. We also are vendors at a handful of yearly local festivals.
Barns, not bairns.
Do you allow farm visits?
At this time, no. We are working on the legalities and the logistics and hope to be able to offer visits in the future, but for now, we do not have the staff or insurance!

Best of luck with your new flock!

We are a small farm with a small and precious inventory. We need to protect the inventory we have by not introducing any possibility of outside elements from losing chain of custody. (fear of moths, mainly)
