Steph picked up her first set of knitting needles around the age of 10, and the rest is history. Steph is a fiber farmer and fiber artist living in Midcoast Maine with a focus on an endangered heritage breed of sheep, the American Jacob, along with a mix of other animals. When not tending her flock at Hawthorn and Thistle Farmstead, Steph is a volunteer fire fighter and runs the Sheep and Goat Barn at Common Ground Fair.
Steph’s passion for fiber and the dream of fiber farmers being able to make a living on their farms brought her to the Maine Fibershed. Steph will fuel both of her passions with Maine Fibershed by being a voice for farmer’s needs and those of the fiber art community.
