About

When I come back in my next life, I want to be one of Walt's sheep. If everyone were treated like this the world would be a much better place. (Joanne)


Common Threads farm is an endeavor that began with two friends who had different needs. Walt had a lovely farm in Camden Valley that was unused, except for Christmas tree production. Many of the fields were growing up to brush.


Joanne had always wanted to raise sheep to satisfy her fiber addiction, but had no room on the dairy farm for such creatures.

Joanne's husband, Tom had nightmares about waking some morning to the sound of baaing and more critters to find food and housing for on the dairy. To his relief, the sheep live at Walt's and all is well.


Together, Walt and Joanne formed the Common Threads farm and after some research, decided to raise Icelandic sheep. The Common Threads Farm name is indicative of our different lives, but common goals, which weave and interweave the fabric of our lives and creates balance, diversity and harmony for us. Now that it is 2008 and nearly 4 years raising sheep, we realize that we are interconnected and interwoven with other people who visit and in other ways are connected to our farm and sheep. It is a small world, and we are thankful for all who have become a part of our lives because we have chosen to share our love of the farm and those rascally little sheep.
