Little Bo Peep's, Herbs & Sheep. A new Chapter has begun in our Lives! Our website will be going through a HUGE change. Through the next few months it will be changing over gradually from Mom & Pop, Hops & Crops momandpophops. Little Bo Peep's, Herbs & Sheep littlebopeepssheep. We are really excited on the big change and direction we have chosen to do. We never had the same idea about growing our hops that a lot of brewers had. We looked at the hops like a farmer looked at his crop, not what would be the cheapest and easiest way of using them. Plus Tom and I don't drink beer at all. The Urban Dictionary T-Shirt Smooth, soft, slim fit American Apparel shirt. 100% fine jersey cotton, except for heather grey (90% cotton). Let me tell you what is up and what direction we are going in. We deeply feel in the bottom of our hearts this is where God always wanted us anyhow. We are no longer going to raise hops, except for a few to be used as herbs. Now that we are no longer in that program, we now have fields that are overgrown with Autumn Olive. Tom has tried to get rid of this, but not very successfully. I asked him about renting some goats to help clear the land. He agreed and we went to pickup our sheep, not knowing anything about sheep we brought them home. The people we got them from was telling us all kinds of stuff about them, but all I was thinking about was clearing the land. I had taken some notes and when I got home started checking my notes. WOW, I found out we had just bought two full Merino ewes, one full Finn ewe and a ram that was half Finn and half Merino. I didn't know anything about sheep, wool or anything, but started researching everything. Plus I joined a knitting and spinning group to figure out what to do with the wool. My daughter asked me what was I going to do with the wool. Then all of a sudden I got to thinking: I used to work with special needs children at the Intermediate School District. I know how sensitive many of the children were at having certain materials touching their skin.
I always missed not being with the children. Now I know what the wool from these precious sheep can be used for. Super soft hats and toys that can be pulled close to the children. My goal is now to use the Merino and Finn wool which is some of the finest and softest wool you can get to make hats for the children at the Intermediate School District and also for the hat room at Mercy Health Cancer Center. With each hat will go a soft toy sheep for the child. Little Bo Peep is the character from the nursery rhyme of the same name, about a shepherd girl who lost some of her sheep. In the Land of Stories series, 'Little Bo' is grown up and runs a large farm in the Red. I also have been purchasing children's books about sheep to be read to them. Also with going into the School will be going a small buff cocker spaniel by the name of Agapai, which is Greek for Unconditional Love, also means God's Love for Mankind and also means Christian Love for Each Other.
