Mohair and More
Ceres' Flock Farm
About
In 2021, we pulled up California roots and transplanted ourselves across the country, bringing our livestock and dreams of more farming freedom along for the ride. Now we are a 21 acre family farm nestled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
As we establish pastures for seasonal rotation with an eye to a sustainable future for all of us, we aspire to nurture our love of handweaving with natural fibers. The learning never ends, and that is the beauty part.
Any item you might choose to purchase supports our efforts and most especially our beloved goats.
Why Natural Fibers?
Mohair, wool, cotton...why buy items made from them? There are many reasons, simple and not so simple. Natural fibers gathered from animals are renewable and can be be sustainably produced. They are biodegradable and can nourish and protect soil, unlike synthetic fibers that can persist in the ecosystem for years with no benefit to the earth or its organisms. Well-managed grazing animals help to build soil structure and enhance fertility in a cycle that sequesters carbon.
Wool and mohair are breathable, healthy fibers to wear. Suprisingly durable although next-to-skin soft, these animal fibers from sheep and goats yield garments that can last for years.
More information on the benefits of natural fibers is easily found on the internet.

Why Clients Love Us
I am very pleased with the table runner I ordered from Ceres Flock Farm. Jane really cares about making sure that the product she makes for you is just right. She offered many color choices of yarn and even looked at pictures of the room it would be in to make the piece really special just for me. The quality of the work is amazing and the price very reasonable for how much work I know went into it.
I recently ordered a scarf from Jane. I love that you can custom design your scarf with your choice of dimensions, pattern, and colors! The scarf is beautiful and very soft! It was also shipped immediately and arrived quickly. This is very high quality work at a great price, and I am thrilled with my purchase!
“This blanket is the ideal baby blanket: it’s super soft and cozy while being lightweight and the perfect size for us to take everywhere with our son. It doesn’t make him too hot but I’ve never had to worry about him getting cold in it either. The blanket also holds up well to washing and we always get tons of compliments on it! But the best thing about it is that our son loves it.”
I asked Jane to make me two baby blankets, one for each of my grandchildren. They are so soft and beautiful, and they smell so good! My granddaughters love to snuggle with them!
