   Sylvia's Farm's Blurbs
About me:
About me: I am a farmer in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Of the 800 livestock farmers in the New York City Watershed with a whole farm plan and riparian buffer zone in place only one farm is solely owned and operated by a woman. I am that woman. I raise sheep, dairy goats, black currants, wild organic blueberries, and free range eggs, all without a tractor. Today there are 152 sheep on the farm and 10 goats. My book, Sylvia’s Farm: Journal of an Improbable Shepherd is sold in bookstores across the country as well as on Amazon. If you want an autographed or inscribed copy you can order it from my website: www.sylviasfarm.com where you will also find a new story every month as well as pictures and recipes. Most of my customers come directly to the farm to buy lamb and kid goats. The beautiful thing about it is I’ve gotten to meet people from diverse places such as Sicily, Jordan, Portugal, Italy, Samarland and Bosnia who now live in America and who come to buy lamb to celebrate their holidays and special occasions or to start their own flocks.
Who I'd like to meet:
Farmers, ranchers. People who dream abut farming or who live it. People who love to cook. Knitters. Bibliophiles. Anyone who is interested in Sylvia’s Farm: Journal of an Improbable Shepherd.

Glad to connect with you! I see you like to meet farmers and ranchers interested in cooking... We have one board member who is a chef trained at the Natural Gourmet Cooking School who farms in Philmont, NY- and another at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. I will pass your website on to them...your farm sounds & looks incredible.

THANKS FOR BECOMING MY FRIEND.
I hope our friendship will become as strong as an oak, as deep as the ocean and as elevating as a sprout making its way through a sturdy surface.

Please have a look at our Sacred Trees group. We work to set up sanctified trees worldwide.

Hi, thanks for the invite! Are you really Ms. Jorin, or are you just a fan? Either way, "Sylvia's Farm" was a large part of what inspired me to move to Montana and try my hand at farming. The book was a gift from a friend in San Francisco, and those pastoral images were the only thing that got me through those noisy subway rides to work every morning. Thanks, Suzanne, and thanks Sylvia!
