Learning, Gratitude & Growth on the Farm | November at Plaid Perch Farm

Welcome back to Plaid Perch Farm! I’m Greg, your shepherd and fiber farmer, sharing what’s happening here this November 2025. This month, I’m reflecting on gratitude, growth, and the power of community. See how learning from others has helped me improve my sheep, my fleeces, and my fiber work. In this episode, you’ll come along for a journey that includes: Insights from the Iowa State Fair and Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival. Experience what it’s like to show fleeces, get judge feedback, and grow as a shepherd. Meet our new sheep arrivals, including a few special Shetland ewes and a new Romeldale CVM ram, plus how we’re preparing for the winter season. Behind the scenes, as we transition into winter chores, including cleaning barns, setting up breeding groups, and keeping our flock healthy and happy. Fiber fun! I share feedback from my spinning and skein contest. I’ll show you several handspun yarns and talk about lessons learned from judges and friends. Plus: My finished plaid sweater (yes, I designed it myself!) and a sneak peek at a few works-in-progress on my knitting needles. Living on a small farm can sometimes feel isolating, but through fairs, festivals, and fiber friends, I’ve found a community that makes all the difference. Whether you’re a fellow shepherd, spinner, or knitter, I hope this video inspires you to keep learning, keep creating, and stay connected. Watch now to see how feedback, friendship, and a few fleeces have helped shape life at Plaid Perch Farm! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to follow our journey through the seasons.
