Zephyr Point Farm

Zephyr Point Farm, Cashmere goats in Rutherfordton, NC, is set within Rutherford County near Asheville. Its herd is managed by Keturah Bell, who follows industry guidelines for health screening, parasite control and fiber testing. Kids are bottle-raised until strong enough to join the flock, and each adult animal benefits from daily enrichment and gentle handling.

Fiber harvesting takes place in early spring when the goats naturally shed, with combing done by hand to preserve loft and staple length. Small batch dyeing follows sustainable practices, using plant-based colors and minimal water, so finished yarn retains its natural texture. Farm tours are offered several times a year, giving visitors a chance to meet the goats and learn about fiber processing from field to fleece. Returning customers note the soft hand and consistent staple quality, reflecting the farm’s commitment to gentle care. All goats graze rotationally across clover-rich paddocks, supporting pasture health and fiber nutrition.
