We want to make sure farmers have access to shearers so we have put together this list. You’ll notice many of the shearers go all the way up the East Coast (from Virginia to Maine) and service a number of states.

Should you be on here? Email Amy at amy@senefibershed.org to edit or add to the existing shearer’s list.
