Self-reported practices. This farm has provided information about their practices, but they have not yet been independently verified by Bhumi.
Our farm is located in a secluded valley in West Central Wisconsin. We practice the principles of sustainable agriculture and land conservation on our farm. We believe in growing food and raising animals naturally, from our vegetable garden and orchard to the free-ranging turkeys, ducks, peafowl and chickens to our pasture-fed sheep. The flock of approximately 100 Rambouillet/Merino Cross Bred ewes is rotationally grazed year round, with lambs on pasture summer through fall. Our farm is free from herbicides, pesticides and growth hormones. Our yarn is made from the finest wool in our flock of Rambouillet/Merino Cross Bred ewes that we have carefully bred since 1980. The Rambouillet and Merino sheep are known for their fine, soft wool. Yarn is available in 2-ply (sport weight) or 3-ply (worsted weight). Besides yarn in natural colors, we also have yarn that has been dyed red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. Our yarn products are available forpurchase on this website. Our lamb is served at fine restaurants throughout West Central Wisconsin. Lamb, processed lamb products and free range turkeys are only availabledirectly from Hickory Hills Farm.

Greg and Judie Sage have owned and operated Hickory Hills Farm since 1978, starting with 10 sheep and growing to 350 before downsizing to approximately 100 ewes. They have been carefully breeding Rambouillet/Merino Cross Bred ewes since 1980. In 2005, Greg received an award for his land conservation and preservation practices from the State of Wisconsin office of the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Services. They have recently added solar panels to their farm, creating and using their own power. They have been active in the Buffalo County 4-H program and other community organizations, with Judie retiring in 2011 after a career as an occupational therapist. The farm has been practicing sustainable farming for 47 years as of December 2024.
