    Farm Name
    Ewe La La Icelandics
    Farm Project Description

    I have just 4 sheep, for fibre & breeding purposes. 2 are Icelandic ewes with good blood lines. Eula gave birth to 2 pure white Romney rams (now wethers). I am an experienced gardener in both landscape garden maintenance / restoration as well as vegetable farming. My fortè is growing garlic and currently have about 200 lbs of red Russian left from this year`s crop. I hope to find a place to grow primarily garlic, shallots & hopefully asparagus & celery. Sell starts if possible (variety of stuff). The sheep have lovely fleece and by next year will have enough to get processed up in Kamloops.
