 Surrounded to the North and East by some hills is a herding community of about thirty families dedicated to raising large herds of sheep for milk, wool, and meat. In the Spring and Summer flocks of these animals can often be seen roaming from the Dillswood to the river. In colder months, the shepherds and their animals winter together in barns. Many of the barns are arrayed near the small, rustic church which forms the center of town.  Surrounded to the North and East by some hills is a herding community of about thirty families dedicated to raising large herds of sheep for milk, wool, and meat.
