The White Treasure Farm is known as the largest Angora goat farm in Western Canada. These beautiful animals produce a lustrous fleece. Owner John Henderson maintains the healthy herd of goats, and wife Laura Lee does the spinning, weaving, and dying. Some of her dying is done with "Kool-Aid," our favorite drink as a kid. They also have some products for sale including "the best" hiking socks, saddle blankets, and more.
Nancy, you know I don't do dirt, but you might find it hard to believe I did "goat poop" walking around out in the corrals with the goats and llamas. Rod did a great job getting my boots clean!

It's funny she uses kool-aid to die the hair because our very own Alyssa just used the same in her own hair to make some red streaks in it!
