Creating Sap Bush Hollow Farm in 1979 to supplement their full-time jobs, Adele and Jim Hayes began to devote all their attention to the farm in 1993.
After a successful relationship marketing campaign, their sales of lamb and chicken took off and allowed for expansion into grass-fed cattle, turkeys, and even geese. Intimate relationships with their customers allowed the couple to develop their products and find more effective ways to market them. The farm also found a way to shear their wool themselves and ship to a mill that could make blankets for them.

The design and development of Northland Sheep Dairy began over 20 years ago, with 57 acres of abandoned farmland. Starting out with a pair of mules and a desire to keep the operations low-tech, Karl and Jane North built their farm from the ground up.
Today the operation combines a number of self-sufficient features not often found together on organic farms. Initially, Jane and Karl North started their business with an emphasis on sheep milk production for cheeses, then gradually expanded it to other sheep products, including yarn and knitted products, tanned sheepskins and freezer lamb in season. A strong focus of the farm operation is resource self-sufficiency, and a strong belief in holistic farming practices.
