Make Gift Giving Easy!

by Kelley Yates & Sarabeth Parido


Tis the season to start racking your brain on what to get those hard to shop for sheep and goat friends and family members. Let’s face it, we all could use a piece of equipment, someone to pay our feed bill, or in my case, a new truck! But, as much as I love those around me, none of those are very feasible, or quite frankly, fun! Don’t get me wrong, practical gifts are great, but nothing says, “You’re important to me!” like when your husband buys you a new vacuum cleaner for Christmas….


As a farmer and mom of kids, I try to make every dollar stretch to its limit. Constantly keeping up with what the four and two legged people around me need is a lot of work. So much so, that I don’t often think about what I need, and if I do, I just dismiss it to worry about more pressing things. Know someone like that? If you do, we may have the perfect gift for him or her.


First gift options are Kentucky Sheep and Goat Development Office and Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Gift Cards! I love gift cards! Nothing like getting stuff I want, that I choose, using someone else’s money, right! The Kentucky Sheep and Goat Development Office and Kentucky Sheep and Fiber offer gift cards for people to use on lots of great gift ideas. 


You can purchase a KSGDO gift card for $30 or $50. Here is how you can purchase a card:


Gift card can be used for an association membership:



Gift cards can also be used on any one-time purchase of our classes (does not include monthly subscriptions to classes):




Kentucky Sheep and Fiber gift cards can be used to purchase workshops hosted at the 2025 Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival. We host workshops for beginners, more experienced fiber artists, and on a huge variety of topics. Workshops will be posted mid January 2025!

Second gift or gift options is something from the 2024 KY Fiber Trail Gift Guide. Experience the artistry of Kentucky's finest fiber artisans by shopping with our esteemed Kentucky Fiber Trail members. Discover a world of fiber treasures, from luxurious hand-spun yarns to unique, one-of-a-kind woven creations. Find a new favorite shopping spot with some of our brick and mortar members as well! Each purchase not only supports local talent but also strengthens our vibrant fiber community. Whether you're looking for cozy winter scarves, distinctive home decor, or high-quality materials for your own creative projects, our members have something special for you. Embrace the beauty of handcrafted goods and connect with Kentucky's fiber heritage. Visit our Kentucky Fiber Trail website to celebrate the spirit of craftsmanship this season! Our annual downloadable Gift Guide will be available on November 29th!  


Whether you're shopping for the practical farmer or the fiber enthusiast in your life, we’ve made it easy to find meaningful gifts that go beyond the usual holiday fare. With options like Kentucky Sheep and Goat Development Office gift cards or unique finds from the Kentucky Fiber Trail, you can give gifts that support local agriculture, artisans, and a vibrant community.
