About Us
Mountain Shadow Farm is the
husband, wife and dog team of Chris Luczynski, Leigh
Chandler and Bennie the Bichon..
Leigh
Leigh's mother taught her to knit as a child, and she's been partaking in
that family tradition ever since. The one oddity is that Leigh, who's
right handed, knits left handed because of the way her mother (a leftie)
taught her. When not knitting, Leigh's full time job is in the health
care industry.

Chris
Chris became interested in spinning yarns
and raising animals after visiting the Champlain Valley Fair one summer
and deciding it would be fun to learn. After many classes, a great deal of practice, and a whole
lot of bad yarn, Chris finally started producing quality yarns, and
Leigh agreed to knit with them.
When not spinning or working with the animals, Chris is probably
traveling, hiking or working at his day job as an engineer.

Bennie
No, we don't shear her, but Bennie is every bit as
much of the farm as any of the other animals. Her favorite
activities include barking at things that aren't there and rolling
in the stuff that comes out of the back end of the llamas. She also
enjoys eviscerating her chew toys.
