We came to Wing and Wheel Farm in early spring of 2008. This was a big move for the family as we were all going through some life transitions. Paul was retiring from the Army and Cindy easily landed a ER nurse position nearby.  Our 3 teenagers were ready to begin new adventures. Our son soon took off to college while our 2 daughters would be attending a local high school. The youngest daughter had a pony, Moonie, who we had boarded at the Quantico stables. We were so happy to bring her to our new barn and pasture. The middle daughter asked to have goats and we started our herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. Cindy has always had a love for creating with different textiles as a weaver, spinner, and seamstress. So of course fiber producers were added to the menagerie. We have a few Angora goats, Angora rabbits, and llamas. The llamas are much more than fiber producers as they are also guards for the other livestock. If you visit we will tell you all about our amazing llamas.

Fast forward and now we have grandchildren who love visiting the farm and even help with chores. Paul is recently retired (again) and has embraced his role as farmhand. Cindy has focused on improving the quality of her goats through breeding choices and monitoring milk production. She has learned to make goat cheese and goat milk soap. The fiber producers are also adding products for sale. Beautiful mohair and llama yarn or roving is made by a few different fiber mills. Cindy has handwoven llama fiber rugs and spins yarn from the llama fiber as well.

We are a busy little farm and at every turn something new and exciting is happening! We have fallen in love with our little piece of land and we hope you will too!
