Who We Are
Welcome
I am Lisa Konnerth shepherdess at Bay Haven Short Tails, located on the beautiful South Shore of Long Island. I started my business 20 years ago raising Pedigree English Angora rabbits.
For the past 20 years I have taught a Special Education Animal Science program for our local BOCES. Fifteen years ago, I received an email regarding the Youth Conservation program. The program awards children between the ages of 9 and 18 a heritage breed of sheep that have been donated by breeders from across the US. This was my chance to get sheep! After writing an essay my son was awarded "Hazel" a Finnish Landrace ewe, and this is when our sheep journey started.
I breed both rabbits and sheep once a year. I always have rabbits available for purchase at Maryland Sheep and Wool and lambs' available early summer. if you are ever interested in adding to your flock reach out, I would love to chat.
I believe in the power of knitting to bring people together and create beautiful, handmade creations. Our vision is to inspire and empower knitters of all levels with quality yarns, patterns, and tools that they need to bring their projects to life.
