Laughing Crow Farm

Welcome!

I am a shepherdess & wool fiber artist in Burke, Vermont.

My mission is to spark creativity, cultivate community, and promote the ancient art of felting to anyone curious about or already addicted to wool. 

Guided by the core values of joy, creativity, and impact, I offer felting workshops and create handmade wool items for home and educational settings using fiber from my sheep.

I provide opportunities for others to slow down, use their imagination, gather together, connect to nature, experiment with natural materials, and experience the satisfaction of transforming wool into something whimsical, beautiful, or useful.

From this little corner of VT called “The Northeast Kingdom”, I hope to make the world a better place by spreading joy through felting and raising money for worthy causes, including animal rescue and community arts organizations.

In Memoriam

  • Pickle

    On 2/26/25 we had to suddenly say goodbye to Peanut’s brother who was suffering from kidney failure.

  • Finch

    Such a good boy, rescued from a kill shelter in Alabama. We only had him for 3 yrs before he declined suddenly from a brain tumor.

  • Dilly

    Free-range bunny who took residence in the teenager’s room for many years and lived to about age 7.

  • Bean

    Border Leicester Shetland x, rescued from “freezer camp”… the coolest, friendliest ewe who had untreatable tooth problems and sadly had to be euthanized (the same day as Iris) at age 9.

  • Iris

    Beautiful, shy and docile Icelandic ewe who lived to age 12 and was deeply bonded to her daughter, Ivy.

  • Alder

    My sweet Brittany & soul dog, seized by the humane society at age 10. He enjoyed 6 yrs here of peace and quiet and love.

  • Maisey

    Adopted from Save Your Ass Longear Rescue in her late 20s, we gave her a soft, peaceful place to live for several years.

  • Violet, Rosie & Cosmo (Navajo Churro)

    We rescued V & R from a hoarding situation and C was born here. He and mom V were deeply bonded and they lived to age 9.

  • Tizzy

    A sweet, shy girl who appeared here and was gladly taken in. We enjoyed her quiet presence in the house for over a decade.

  • Kirby

    Our border collie / Australian shepherd who lived a very spoiled and free life to age 15.

  • Vladimir

    A gorgeous Icelandic wether who arrived with his buddy Valjean from a friend’s Icelandic farm. After a few years, I sold them both to a fiber farm and he was tragically struck by lightning.

  • Sunny

    The best homeschooling buddy ever. We once attempted to hatch eggs and he was the only one that actually hatched!

  • Lady Jane

    Of all the chickens we’ve kept, she is the most memorable. So sweet and loved by my girls.

  • Savannah

    Our first springer who lived to age 15. This is the first photo I took of Laughing Crow Farm!
