Welcome to Violet Hill Farm!

Summer is right around the corner

Summer is only a few weeks away and brings lots of farm activity - fleeces to skirt, youngsters to halter train and a new farm to set up. Yes, a new farm in North East Washington!

The new 21 acre property will allow the farm to grow, diversify to add Harvest Host and Hip Camp visitors, offer a farm store and fiber studio, educational events and farm tours.

The planned move is July 13, 2026 so follow along on this new adventure.

Violet Hill Farm is a small boutique farm located in the countryside outside Lexington, Kentucky. This is Blue Grass country, known for its pastures which improve bone health of Thoroughbred Racing Horses as well as fatten alpacas and sheep, and contributes to strong, soft fiber.

The farm is my dream come true - a home in the country, surrounded by wonderful, rich animals and a chance to explore what the earth can create. My goal is to build a farm that raises animals for fiber and soil amendment (manure). I also hope to share this love with others through the bounty of my farm location, and education.

I host visitors of all ages, especially children and young people. At my farm, you'll be exposed and touch livestock up close. You can see how raw fiber grows on the animal, how yarn is made and what happens when manure is composted. Plus, you can get to know the animals, touch them, feed them and learn of their unique personalities.

Plan a visit to meet my menagerie of dogs, cats, alpacas, and fiber sheep. The alpacas love treats and the sheep are always curious. Come introduce your family to the farm and allow me to share my knowledge of gardening, farming, animal husbandry and the agricultural life. This farm is a Climate Smart Wool Producer, a member of Kentucky Proud and practices good soil management.
