Welcome
to Honeystones Cottage, the home of Chuck and Jackie Deems and AMAZING GRACE
FARM.
Honeystones Cottage is a AMAZING GRACE FARM began in August of 1996 with the purchase of two young male Llamas. Though we'd never owned livestock before (Chuck had never even had a pet hamster when he was a child) the ease of raising Llamas allowed us to successfully integrate these animals into our lives. Our Herd grew quite rapidly when we got involved in Llama rescue in 1997 and up until 2001 our Llama Herd population averaged between 35-40 Llamas. At one time almost 2/3 of our Llama Herd were rescues! Our farm is now home to 80+ Shetland Sheep, 30+ "Baybdoll" Sheep, 6 Llamas, 20 or so cats (mostly rescue, "drop offs", or adopted through the Humane Society--all spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and named) and 11 dogs -- 2 were "drop offs", 1 was adopted from a Humane Society and the rest are Livestock Guard Dogs . Our MissionOur farm breeding goals are: to produce breeding stock with correct conformation, gentle dispositions, and luxurious fiber--in that order. We are particular about the quality of our breeding stock--it has taken us several years to choose our breeding males and females. And, we do not believe in overproducing animals--we strive for quality not quantity. We believe that purposely producing pet quality Sheep and Llamas is not in the best interest of the animals or the industry because too many of these animals end up at exotic auctions or worse. As responsible breeders, we feel that the only ethical choice we can make is to breed for the best. Therefore, a large number of our animals are show or breeding quality. Those that are not, in our estimation, breeding stock are sold as pets and companion animals. We do not send our animals to market nor do we use them for meat. We raise them simply for fiber, companionship, sheer enjoyment, and very effective self-propelled lawnmowers (complete with fertilizer attachments). Contact InformationChuck or Jackie Deems
