Welcome!

 
Founded in 2010, Tamarack Farm is nestled in the scenic backroads of Lancaster County in Paradise, PA. Our family farm sits on 9 lush acres where we raise and up-breed Gotland Sheep for their fiber. We also sell items throughout the year in our "stuga" (Swedish for "cottage") such as yarn, roving, fleeces, potpourri, homemade soaps and other fiber related items. 
 
We are excited to partner with Sweden's own, Toarp Sateri and introduce their product line of woolen blankets made with Gotland Wool. This is the first time these blankets are made available to be purchased in the United States and we offer both wholesale and retail sales. 

We look forward to hearing from you!

Jeff & Christina Ahlseen

Jeff and Christina Ahlseen, along with their 4 children discovered the cherished Gotland breed on a family trip to Sweden in 2007. As a family, they decided they would raise and up-breed the sheep strictly for their fiber and offer other like-minded individuals the opportunity to purchase their sheep in keeping with the same mindset.

Gotland Sheep

Origination: Sweden

Gotland sheep originate from the small island of Gotland, set in the middle of the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Sweden. One of the Northern short-tailed breeds, their bloodlines date back to the Viking era. 

Gotland yarn, when knit, has a lovely drape. When over-dyed it has gives deep heathered shades of color. Gotland wool also felts quite easily making it an excellent choice for felters. Fiber artists and doll makers find their curly locks of wool amazing to work with, often using them as embellishments or for hair.
