Are you hoping to add sheep to you farm someday? Are you overwhelmed with farm work of all the different animals and feeling burned out? Do you wish there was an easy animal who gave you meat, milk and fiber? Do you live in the hot, dry desert and notice your wool sheep are not thriving and are actually costing you more money? Does the thought of living far away from a veterinarian scare you because you feel you must have knowledge of one to give your sheep a good life? Do you want to learn more about growing your food not only for yourself but your sheep, too?!Hi, I’m Marissa and I am so overjoyed that you’re here! I live in the dry desert of rural New Mexico. I always knew I wanted a farm, since I was a little girl. I grew up with so many different animals and I am so grateful for that. I remember feeling like I had to have it all when I first started! Each animal for a specific reason and I had to become an expert in each of them to feel like I knew what I was doing. 10 years ag
