This is not a vegetable CSA.* Our primary product is alpaca fiber and rare breed sheep wool.

But, in the same way that CSA gardens give their shareholders the opportunity to invest in and enjoy the farmer's future crop, so the Jacob's Reward Fiber CSA gives you the chance to get to know the animals who provide their beautiful fiber, stay involved in their lives all year long, and finally, receive the fruit of the harvest.

In exchange for investing in Jacob's Reward Farm, shareholders will receive: A shareholder's certificate,Weekly updates with photos from the farm,A free spinning lesson and drop spindle,A coupon for a free dozen pasture-raised eggs (pending availability),An invitation to the sheep shearing, and other events,A proportional share of the year's fiber harvest processed into roving,The earth-friendly satisfaction of supporting a local farmer and heritage livestock breeds.

Would you like to learn to spin wool? Knit? Raise your own fiber animals? Do you live in the city and wish there was a refuge in the country to visit and just relax? This is the place for you!Jacob's Reward Farm offers classes, premium wool and alpaca rovings and yarn, Babe spinning wheels, fresh eggs, and a welcoming community of spinners, knitters, wanna-be farmers, and folks who just need some fresh air.

Jacob's Reward Farm is the first farm in the state of Texas to market its fiber and related products through the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model, by pre-selling shares of its yearly fiber clip directly to handspinners and knitters.
