Get Bentz Mill is a solar-powered, regenerative, cottage-sized wool mill that is situated on the farm. Theresa Bentz is the sole operator of the mill and touches the fiber at each step of the process. The wool and fibers used in the mill are all produced locally, and the shepherd is paid appropriately for their fibers. Theresa uses a wastewater recycling system and all-natural scouring soap during the washing of the fiber, and uses no harsh milling chemicals during the carding and spinning.  This allows the fiber to be as natural as possible. Taking fiber from raw wool and turning it into yarn takes many steps, from washing to picking, carding to drafting, spinning to plying, and finally placing the finished yarn on cones for the knitting machines.
