I am living my best life with lupus, while homeschooling three kids on our small fiber farm and working my small handmade business. My name is Mandy. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician,mother, home schooler, crafter extraordinaire, farmer and homesteader. After spending 5 years in emergency Veterinary Medicine and 4 years in small animal and exotics, I decided to trade in my stethoscope for a shovel and combine both my passion for animals and my love for creativity and art. And so Kerfluffle Fiber Farm was born. It was not long before I had acquired my first herd of Alpacas from one of Maine's premier Alpaca breeders. Followed by a small herd of German Angoras and a few babydoll sheep. I was well on my way to having the fiber farm of my dreams. While the fiber farm is my love I have another passion in life. This passion is one of self sustainability, and a healthier lifestyle through the art and heritage of homesteading. In 2013 I purchased my first trio of silver fox rabbits to raise for consumption and fur. I have also added poultry, laying ducks and chickens. My goal is to eventually have a large garden and a colony of bees. I deeply enjoy learning and the sharing of the knowledge that I have acquired with others. Client education about animal care and husbandry is a top priority of mine. I also love to give demonstrations on different aspects of the fiber arts.
