The Ross Farm is a historic property in Southwestern PA, owned and operated by 5th and 6th generation farmers, Amy and Drew Ross Manko. The Ross Farm raises multiple rare and heritage breeds of sheep on their 180 acre property, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Amy travels the country teaching makers about the joy and importance of working with heritage and rare breed wool and vending at all the major fiber festivals while Drew is the boots-on-the-ground shepherd to the flock.

As a mother-son team, they understand the importance of exposing the next generations to conservation and sustainable materials, while emphasizing the natural beauty and many positive attributes of the product.
