Wool, for the people!

ABOUT ABUNDANCIA

We are Hannah Rae and Eduardo Lacayo of Abundancia (Finca La Abundancia LLC), a working fiber farm based in the Finger Lakes region of NY. We have a regenerative approach to farming and as agroforestry professionals we pay close attention to our impact on the landscape, and our deeply reciprocal relationship with our flock. We practice rotational grazing and manage silvopasture systems, which refers to grazing areas that integrate productive tree cover for shade and tree crops.

We proudly grow, process and wear wool from our flock. As farmers, we love wool for its warmth and utilitarian appeal. Our vision is to produce high quality and functional, 100% wool based pieces for everyday use. Because wool should be for everyone. We love exploring ways of using and creating with our wool, such as handcrafting wet-felted creations and making handwoven textiles.

OUR OFFERINGS

Abundancia also works closely with wonderful local and regional processors to value-added wool products, such as mill spun yarns, sweaters and pelletized wool fertilizer. We offer registered Finnsheep breeding stock, and occasionally we also produce purpose-driven fiber crosses. Our flock is coated year-round to ensure fiber high quality fleece. We also breed dairy sheep, with a focus on producing healthy dairy animals that also have a lustrous, hand spinner quality fleece. We are members of "Local Fiber", an Ithaca-based shepherd's collective that promotes local wool, and are excited to be new members to the Hudson Valley Textile Project.

Abundancia invites friendship and collaboration from handweavers, knitters and other fiber artists, small businesses, as well as clothing and textile designers, and anyone with a love of sheep and natural fiber!
