Shearing Services that sets the standard!

Pine Meadow Farms is a family owned and operated business. We purchased our first Llama in 1994 and have grown to over 40  Llamas today. We harvest the wool from animals on our farm and have it processed professionally. The final product is sold at different fiber festivals or by mail order.  We are proud to provide a quality finished product that is ready for you to make your next handmade garment or heirloom. We are located in Manchester Michigan which is 60 minutes west of Detroit. The gently rolling countryside, which is considered the beginning of the well known Irish Hills, is ideal for raising animals.  The shearing of the wool is completed using electric shears with a comb and cutter. This is very efficient and much more relaxing for the animals.    

 Our "employees"  are  3 generations of family working side by side.  Ranging in age from 9 yrs to 80 yrs of age  everyone pitches in where they are needed. Duane & Linda, along with their younger sons, Daniel & Matthew, do all of the farm work including feeding, grooming, shearing and care while Marge takes charge of the fiber end to get it from the raw wool to the finished products of the roving or yarns. Marge & Linda also do primitive rug hooking here at the farm . Their oldest son Jason lives closer to his job as a firefighter/paramedic in Wayne, but come shearing time he can be found here at the farm or on the road with his father shearing.  This is a hobby farm so Duane has a full time job as a Captain with the Wayne Fire Dept.  His schedule gives him the time needed to fulfill his demanding shearing commitments. Linda is home full time, taking care of everything while Duane is at work with the fire department or on the road shearing.  She also has to juggle school, hockey teams, scouts & 4 H !   Duane and Linda are both 4H leaders  in Washtenaw county with the Double L Llama Club.  Duane and Linda also do a lot of rescue work with different animals. Llamas of course, but also retired greyhounds. Check out www.gemgreyhounds.org  to learn more about these awesome couch potatoes!
