Daryl's father (my father-in-law) Willie Gisch, moved from his 160 acre farm in southern Minnesota to a farmstead that is located just across the road from our farm! Papa is offically our neighbor and partner in farming! We are very excited that our children will have their grandfather so close by. And Willie is very pleased to have his own flock of Icelandic sheep and even his own llamas Willie raised sheep for about 7 years back in the early 1950s and it's very fitting that he will have his own flock now after 50 years of raising cattle. Willie is 84 years young and we are very thrilled to have "Papa" a permanent part of our lives here in Michigan.
We have been able to expand our flock by putting some of the ewes and the rams on Papa's Farm. This keeps our grazing from being overstocked and allows us to continue to improve our flock and have a large diversity of bloodlines to offer our clients.
