Shaltz Farm

Est. 1997

Welcome to Shaltz Farm and HJS Studio

We are Zack and Holly Shaltz, a "retired" military family, who moved to Michigan in 1997 to build Shaltz Farm on 25 acres of land we bought back in 1990. We had a small market garden and had a flock of quality registered Shetland sheep till 2017. We use to farm in a sustainable manner while following organic standards which didn't conflict with that goal. We are a Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) verified farm under Cropping and Farmstead operations. We keep the site active to answer questions about how to do fiber, raise plants and animals on a small homestead. We do not have sheep anymore.
